It is slightly better - the centre is between McDonalds and PC World.

I was trying to get the Street View as a link - without success.

The previous Stockport one was here

On current form it seems entirely likely that ATOS could send someone from Stockport to Stoke and believe it is the same place.

The way to tell the difference is that the oatcakes are thicker in Stockport, due to the Derbyshire influence.  Otherwise exactly the same, of course.

Disappointment no more.

Reply received by telephone and email below.

I’m the Public Affairs Manager for CHDA/MAXIMUS.

I tried to reach you on the phone but haven’t had any luck. Keen to have a chat with you regarding the email below from John Birks. Requests like the one you describe usually come to me and we would be more than happy to present at GMWRAG. If you could let me know which email address you sent your request to I’d be grateful.

John.

Full details of the next GMWRAG meeting are already posted on the site. When you have this conversation please let them have full details and, if they contact us via the site. we can then book them in for that meeting.

Sadly, previous experience says they will set all this up and then pull out. We shall see.

I know it is irrelevant but neither Stoke or Stockport are in Derbyshire - both but it is in Stoke or in my case Crewe where i used to get Staffordshire oat cakes (ie pancake like things filled with cheese but it was a long long time ago)

Any update on this John?

Speaker slot for the next GMWRAG meeting remains open and they would be excellent.

I passed on your details.

Have they not been in touch?

I’ll send you the details.

Got them thank you. I don’t suppose you have a copy of what you sent him or his response. Would be useful to know what he’s willing to talk about. Feel free to paraphrase if it’s a pain to send the whole thing.

Hello Mike,

It was a form filled in on their ‘get in touch box.’

I included the thread and contents as I remember.

Crewe isn’t in Derbyshire, North Staffordshire or Stoke.
