"I wanted to have a career in sports when I was young, but I had to give up the idea. I'm only six feet tall, so I couldn't play basketball. I'm only 190 pounds, so I couldn't play football, and I have 20/20 vision, so I couldn't be a referee." Jay Leno |

Journeys into Staffordshire
A new book about Staffordshire, which is written, edited, printed and published in the Uttoxeter area, is now available from the Uttoxeter Online Magazine Book Club at £14.99 + £3.50 P&P ( see below ).
"Journeys into Staffordshire" - by bus, bicycle and boat, by road, rail and long distance footpath, Michael Pearson explores the sometimes underestimated County of Staffordshire in such a way as to entertain and inform in equal measure.
This is the sort of book which will appeal as a gift or a souvenir to locals and visitors alike, and once read is likely to be treasured for years to come.
With thirty years experience of writing and researching guide books behind him, he leaves few stones unturned, but on another level this book inspires affection and lights fuses of enthusiasm which will have you itching to follow in the authors footsteps, if only to see for yourself if Staffordshire is just as wonderful as he makes it sound.
Two sample extracts are now available for viewing by downloading this 1MB 'pdf' file.
