Has anyone on here had any trouble at either of the Wetherspoon pubs in Chesterfield? My dad went in the ' Spa Lane Vaults' and a man who he has never seen before or spoken to before decided to get abusive towards my dad who has a heart problem and he his well in his 60s hardly a threat to anyone? Also been told a guy was allegedly threated while waiting to get served at the other Wetherspoon pub in town the guy has only just come out of hospital for cancer treatment  also been told about other alleged incidents. One here will not be taking my family or myself into anymore Wetherspoon pubs.

£40 billion has been wasted on Trident a weapon that has limited use that was fine in the Cold War era now long passed. Its clear that terrorism is the biggest threat to the West Trident has no use in a war on terrorism ture Russia and North Korea like to play war games with West and America but the truth is Russia needs the West for trade after  the Russian Federation axed parts of the Ukraine and the West placed sanctions the effects was soon felt . North Korea likes to boost about its military power but the country is poor and has limited recouses and much of its military hardwear is outdated. At a time will are seeing massive economic change can we really afford the £40 billion price tag on a weapon that's unlikely to be used if the money was to spent on defence surly it should go to anti terrorist units and training were it would have most impact?

On some Thursday's their is a stall selling home grown veg , fruit and flowers. Iv brought odds bits off them the food is quite nice and not expensive . The stall has a name plate which has on it ' Hunlock Community Garden' has anyone been to the garden which I'm led to believe is off Derby Road would like to trade with them on a regular basis or know someone who does a similar thing?

Every time I visit Chesterfield something is closing down only Thursday seems a busy day due to the second hand market. I hear grand plans for the town but then nothing  happens I see many rough sleepers dotted about the place and drunks knocking about to complete the scene of hopelessness and dereliction. The Co op project seems to have come to a standstill perhaps they have realized it could end up a white elephant. The town has air of been given up on do the council sit on their hill hoping that some biblical miracle will happen and all will be well . Many of towns buildings look run down notable the ' Victoria Centre' and the Vicar Lane shopping centre is slowly emptying. Is Chesterfield a dying town?

I use eBay now and again to buy odds and ends recently I brought an item but did not arrive so the seller agreed to refund it . As I understand it when you buy items off eBay the money goes out of your bank account via PayPal to the seller. Will the refund go back into my bank account or go into a PayPal account, if the money goes into the PayPal account how do you withdraw it . IV looked though PayPal website to be honest couldnt find anything to do with this?

The findings of the Chilcot report have said that sending troops to Iraq was a unnecessary move by Tony Blair also resolved nothing in the long term. I remember at the time much was made of weapons of mass destruction and a unholy union was formed between Blair's government and  the Bush administration and thousands of troops were deployed many didn't come back. No weapons that could have caused mass destruction were ever found over the years many who lost loved ones fought hard to find the turth . The Bush administration were the only winners they got their oil and rid of a enemy who wouldn't play ball with them, the war made the region unstable and saw the raise of terrorists group like IS come into been. Nothing can be done to bring back the victims of this war but Justice needs to be seen to be done. Its clear that Tony Blair took this country to war on lies I think he should be taken to court so that families at least know the truth to know the real reason why their loved ones didn't return home .

Like most towns in the UK the economic down turn has affected trade we have seen many well known retailers disappearer off our High streets over the last few years. If you were in charge of planning what would you do to improve the town? A side note, noticed the old 'Burtons' store now under offer.
