This week in Ramsbottom we’ve had some drama on Tanners Street with the road opening up and threatening to swallow anything that wants to get anywhere too close to it. Yes, we had a sinkhole on Tanners.

Thankfully the “Road Closed” signs were obeyed and cars used alternative routes… Well, of course not, people were still driving up and around Tanners bringing with it more risk to the road and safety of others.

That road is a nightmare at the best of times. It’s a 20Mph road with people flying past like they’re at Silverstone, some people really need to consider other people at times. I’m glad we didn’t move onto that road, we had looked at a house on Tanners at the time, the house was lovely but with a young child I really didn’t like how busy the road was right outside the door.

Hopefully the road works are completed soon but currently it looks like it’s going to be well over a week before it gets completed.

Thanks for coming back for another episode of This is Rammy, the podcast where I interview local businesses, people and generally talk about what’s going on in and around Ramsbottom as it’s our town and it’s full of fantastic stories.

This week I caught up with the ever busy Simon Holland. When he’s not volunteering for Ramsbottom Rotary Club or putting on his Friday Night Networking evening you will find him at his business Jacob’s Ladder Letting Agents.

It’s Ramson Day! I know, it’s the day you’ve all been waiting for with Christmas coming a close second, but seriously, hear me out. If you’re listening to this when it is released, Sunday the 24th of April, get yourself down to Ramsbottom Station where Incredible Edible will be cooking up a storm using locally foraged Allium Ursinum (which sounds like something out of Harry Potter); this is better known as Wild Garlic, which is also known as the Ramsbottom namesake the Ramson.

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.
