    [quote quote=119924]dagg,
    The Police(well, several of them) most certainly ARE on overtime for that match! NWP do not have that many officers on duty on any other Saturday. Still, one managed to get a good 40 winks, snoring his head off in the ‘Rowdy’ van with the door wide open as I cycled past, bless him.
    From match reports one would surmise he wasn’t the only one gaining wages under false pretences, apparently 22 men were seen masquerading as professional footballers.

    That is correct the police were brought in from other area’s including dogs and their handlers, a nice little earner if you can get it.. :)

    [quote quote=119848]The ratio must have been about 15 fans to every Police Officer– Alexandra School car park was packed with Police officers and theiur transport at 9.00am–

    Assuming the Chester fans all came by bus 500 equals only about 15 coaches nit the largest number of problem fans-

    Do rate payers have to pay for the out of ground Police or is it the responsability of the Football Club

    Nice bit of overtime :)

    [quote quote=119837]550 Chester fans overall there was just north of 5000 there!

    Ah Right, the ratio would be about 50 50 then :)

    [quote quote=119517]Wrexham council are very quick to slap fines on dropping litter (which in most cases is fair enough) however if they are to continue this practice they need to get their own house in order & start emptying the litter bins in & around the surrounding areas. People are trying to put litter in these bins but they just fall out cause they are overflowing cause Wrexham’s shambolic council cannot be bothered to empty them on a regular basis. May I suggest they suspend the fines until they get their own house in order. No wonder Wrexham is going downhill with this council in charge.

    [/quote]

    Quite right here, and although I do not have anything to do with the council!

    I do know a little insider information in that the management of emptying litter bins within Wrexham and surrounding areas is shambolic to put it mildly.

    When I passed my test admittedly sometime ago, I was told that the way to join a motorway or dual carriage way was to either increase or decrease your speed to the flow of the traffic already on the motorway/dual carriage way.

    These days it seems that vehicles joining expect the vehicles already on the motorway/dual carriage way to either change their speed or pull over into another lane to allow them to join, (not always possible anyway) has the law/rule changed?

    [quote quote=118453]These links may or may not help –

    Might take a while to get to grips with what goes where.

    My question is – when there is a plastic top on a plastic bottle, they need to be separated but what should you do if you can’t separate them? Just stick it in the general waste?

    [/quote]

    In any case is there anything legal that requires you to recycle in the first place, I can’t find anything whatsoever, not a bean! just asking…..

    [quote quote=118269]Whilst I am sympathetic with the above threads, I have to report a completely opposite view. My wife had a ‘whining’ appendix for a few weeks [we later found out] and it came to a head with the tell tale stabbing pains and she managed to get an emergency appoint with her GP at 4pm. He examined her, though it was appendix, rang the hospital, I took her in, booked in at A&E [yes very busy], she was called through and was in a bed on SAU by 5:15pm. Op next morning and home next day.

    I cannot believe that the NHS/Ambulance service would leave a genuine serious emergency for 16hrs, and I don’t know the full facts but there are always two sides to most situations.

    [/quote]

    Again I have to agree that my experiences are similar in that whenever there is a LIFE THREATENING issue you are seen straight away, whilst at the same time I do appreciate and sympathize with people that have to wait for hours and would also agree that it is not right, but I think the problem is of varied reasons, doctors appointments,(lack of) a lot more people living longer, increasing population (immigration !!!!) to name but a few.

    [quote quote=118231]If they’re going to start putting housing in there, it sounds like they are going down the “Rhyl” model. That went well….

    Certain parts of the town are already starting to look like Rhyl :(

    [quote quote=117638]It was a brilliant performance, my daughter was running around screaming with joy as Victoria went to Bishop Heber High School like her. I had half hour of Heber Rocks! Heber Rules! and Heber! Heber!

    Is the school in Wrexham? I don’t seem to recall it.
