Reminds me of this pic from an SPT.......

If you get 5 mins.......A vid of stepping back in time Hanley, S-O-T. (does include an old PMT bus)   

I remember you saying you used to visit Trentham Gardens, but not sure if you ever went into the center of the Potteries.

I hope to find some time this week to grind some UKPC sats. It certainly looks like one not to miss.

Thanks Alan.

I know Hanley, & much of Stoke & the pottery towns, quite well. I still visit Stoke regularly, I'm sort of connected there.

Trentham Gardens? Amazing place, though I preferred it before St Modwen Properties (in whom I own a goodly number of Shares) re-developed it. I gather it even has a monkey park (a what?) now.

I was involved with that gigantic Sainsbury's Distribution Centre too, on the A500 between the A50 & M6.  It has a super smooth power float floor, they need those to operate High Bay Warehouses, as the floor needs to be perfectly smooth & flat.

Hope you can bink a UKPC seat, and even if you don't, feel free to come visit, should be a great atmo, & plenty of faces there.

I have to drive past that 'eye sore' of a distribution centre everyday on my way to work at Talke pits. My Father was actually on the management quantity surveying team of Tarmac, who were behind  the construction of the A500 back in about 1976/1977. This is how I ended up in this area in fact.

Yep....there is a monkey forest now at Trentham Gardens. It was where I wrote my car off just before Xmas at the round-a-bout that was built for it's entrance! My 1st crash ever and after the copper said I was lucky to walk away.....he also said smugly 'at least you weren't driving like a monkey!'

I will try my best to get to DTD next week.

Hi Knottikay are you from the Potteries?

I went to school in Hanley then on to high school in Birches Head. I'm knocking on a bit as I remember them building Unity house and now they've knocked it down. Strange coincidence you post this as I drove through Hanley today and whilst waiting at the lights I could see the Library and Museum. The library looks dated now but was state of the art when built. I went to school just around the corner and sometimes went there to do my homework, that's before I started doing it on the bus in the mornings. Hanley opened a new bus station last year and apparently the old station along with the land of Unity house is being regenerated into shopping and leisure complexes.

Hi kev. Not technically from the Potteries, no. I live in Stone but worked/drank in Hanley/Longton/Stoke & Fenton. I have been in the area since about 1977. Now working in Talke Pits FML
Glad it brought back some memories for you. Funny you should say about the new bus station....I went to do my dreaded Christmas shopping up Hanley 'duck', and I had  always parked in the same place and walked through to the Potteries Shopping Center. However, you could imagine my dismay when I found a new bus station built on 'my' car park!

Is that team he mumbles an ice hockey/badminton outfit?.......never heard of them.

Q. When are the all in sats starting for this event?

 
Fancy someone suggesting they were shorter than me on the show last night. I was going to try and get the picture of myself and Giant811 so they could fully appreciate my lack of height! Although compared to the 7ft German everyone looks short!




Try and guess which is which..........

Nice one. Glad it went ok and you all seemed to have a good time!

Hopefully, some 'TKP professionals' can join you in upcoming tours and give you lot some poker and drinking lessons in the future.

Outside 'pub' league games, DTD was my 1st experience of  live poker. I was hooked. Not a regular at the club, granted, but I have enjoyed every visit there since.

Also, on a particular visit, a chap who I didn't know at the time and who didn't know me either brought me a pint of bitter. Not that big a thing I know, but made my day later learning that it was in fact Rob Yong. Top guy/top venue.
