It feels like it’s been so long since the last episode, mainly because I’ve been on holiday and between the last recording and this one, a few things have gone on in local news, a few events have been announced and a couple of the hundreds of potholes have been filled in.

One of the things I did this weekend with the family was take a trip down, what I believe is called Train Tracks Footpath or something along those lines, basically the public footpath that goes from the Nuttall Road Estates towards Summerseat. Then we stopped at Summerseat Park where my son had a go on various different park equipment and by pure coincidence bumped into one of his friends from nursery and got chatting to his parents David and Helen, which was a lovely surprise. We’d never met before, but we knew the boys must have known each other as they were calling out each other’s names as they ran around.

Welcome to this weeks episode of This is Rammy. This week I caught up with Clint from House of Beer which is based on Silver Street.

Clint explains that his background wasn’t in beer, he’s been a teacher for a large majority of his life, but the teaching profession now, just isn’t what it used to be, there are pressures from external factors that detract from the teaching he wanted a change, and that change came in the form of being his own boss and running his own beer shop.

Welcome to another episode of This is Rammy, your weekly podcast where I talk about what’s going on around Ramsbottom, some would say it’s a bit like What’s on in Rammy but without the arguments.

Well we’ve gone “all in” on the potty training for our son since we started last week, he’s done better than I expected. We’ve completely stopped putting him in nappies during the day now and he is learning to tell us when he needs the toilet so that’s the biggest progress in our house.

Wetherspoon’s to open in Ramsbottom

April 1, 2016 by Lee 6 Comments

wetherspoons ramsbottom — Wetherspoons comes to Ramsbottom after securing the plot of the old Police Station.

After several years of rumours, Wetherpoons have finally managed to lay claim to our town. With the auction and sale of the old Police Station having now completed it’s come to light that the new owners are to open a Wetherspoons.

Wetherspoons already have a firm presence in Bury town centre with The Art Picture House and The Robert Peel, the question now is what will they call this one in Ramsbottom and will it keep to the feel of the town?

What do you think it will be called, keep in mind it’s on the location of the previous Police Station, will it follow the naming convention like The Robert Peel in Bury? Have your say in the comments box below or share on social media to get your friends involved.

Welcome to another episode of This is Rammy, your weekly source for all things Ramsbottom related. Happy Easter! All going well this was released at 10am on Sunday as usual, however with the clocks doing that stupid thing they still do it could have been 9am.

We had some lovely weather on Good Friday with lots of people heading up Holcombe Hill for the yearly egg rolling event, followed by some blustery and chilly weather on Saturday. If you’ve been up nice and early for the church service on Holcombe Hill led by Andy too, then thanks for joining me, however I expect you’ve probably slept in, what with the clocks changing.
