Welcome to another episode of This is Rammy, this week in the run up to Valentine’s Day I’m having a bit of a love-themed episode.

In the week that Manchester was voted number 8 in a list of “The Happiest Places to work” in The Guardian I thought it would be good to get a head start on Valentine’s Day.

You’ll hear from Cheryl of Highfields Florists, Mike from The Card Shop and a special word from Stuart of The Vineyard on how he has love in a bottle!

Don’t forget that this is a podcast episode post, so you see that little play button up near the top left?

Give it a press to hear this episode in all it’s glory.

Even better, if you subscribe to the podcast, you’ll get it into your podcast player of choice or a link to the post emailed to you each week – so no searching around.

The changing face of Bridge Street

October 1, 2015 by Lee Leave a Comment

Ramsbottom is undergoing a facelift (some would say constantly), specifically Bridge Street. It was supposed to have several new premises opening however it would appear that Havana Cafe and Bar is no longer going to be opening, meaning that W.D Scholes is back on the market again for someone to invest in. The following businesses however are WELL on their way to opening and have made huge leaps towards opening day.

You might recall from the interview I had with Lucy that Little Goody New Shoes is opening soon. The signs have been installed, stock is rolling in and the first steps into becoming a shoe shop have been made.

Another shop open during the day is a welcome to Ramsbottom given the recent boom in evening establishments such as Bars and Restaurants, speaking of which.

ID Computer Services, going mobile, or shutting down?

Edit: this shop has since became the Little Craft Café: https://www.facebook.com/Littlecraftcafe/

One of the few places to get your computer fixed in Ramsbottom, ID Computer Services on Bolton Road West near The Masons pub has put up a sign in the window stating that that they are going mobile.

Id Computer Services Sign

I don’t know exactly if this means that the shop is closing down though, although I had heard on the grapevine that they were indeed shutting up shop.

Does anyone know any different? Is one of the last independent places in Ramsbottom to pick-up a USB Memory stick closing? (Incidentally, if you do want a USB Memory stick, you can get them in Ramsbottom Library).

One other thing I did learn from this sign though is that the I in ID should be lower case. So, either the shop window sign is wrong, or this new sign is, or they’ve recently changed it?

Good deal with the collection and return though, fuel isn’t cheap.
