Welcome to the February
2012 edition of Failsworth
Focus
Happy New Year and welcome back to the Failsworth Focus. We hope you had a great Christmas and look forward to hearing from you in 2012. You will see our new feature ‘Focus On’ on page 5, this month we are featuring Sankikoi who have advertised with us from the beginning. We hope you will enjoy this new addition to the magazine and each month we will bring you a new company to read about. If you would like your company to appear on our ‘Focus On’ page please let us know. We have been asked by many readers if we are going to expand the magazine into other areas. We are pleased to announce that we will be incorporating the Ashton area into the Failsworth Focus from March and hope that it will generate even more local business. We are proud to say that the Failsworth Focus has improved business for the majority of our advertisers and we thank you for your support. Don’t forget that we are happy to include your local events FREE in the magazine, just let us know where and when, we may even come and take a few pictures! We were delighted to be invited to the opening of The Beauty Lounge on Oldham Road, and we have included some photos of the evening on page 25, we would like to wish Alison and Dani lots of luck in their new venture! Please don't forget to mention Failsworth Focus when you respond to any of our adverts, this really benefits the advertiser as they know that their advert is working for them. We have included our new pricing on page 34, you will see that advertising with us is a lot cheaper than you may have thought! Can you afford not to advertise in the Failsworth Focus? Until March, keep it local! Best Wishes, Matt & Vikki x

Sanki koi opened its doors to the public on August bank holiday 2011. Set up by owner Steve Dennis and manager Jeff Pollitt, the shop took nearly nine months to set up while the pair juggled this new venture with their full time jobs in the building trade. Both have a common interest in tropical fish and reptiles, Steve specialises in the rift valley cichlids while Jeff specialises in the reptiles. The tropical fish area of the shop consists of over 60 tanks stocked with fish from all over world including tetras, barbs, gouramis, mollies, swordtails, guppies, angels etc. while the rift valley room boasts over 45 tanks with cichlids from lakes Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria. These three lakes are commonly known as the great lakes of Africa and are the largest land locked lakes in the world. Sanki koi is one of the few shops in the U.K. specialising in these particular fish and we have customers who travel the length of the country to purchase these. As well as fish we also have an extensive range of dry goods, medicines, treatments and full set-ups. Another unique point to the business is our range of second hand tanks, cabinets and equipment making fishkeeping more affordable to the average person. The reptile section is still in its infancy and will be completed over the next couple of months however we do have a small range of reptiles and dry goods in stock and also have a weekly delivery of live and frozen reptile food. We also specialise in custom built vivariums. Since opening the business has gone from strength to strength and plans are already underway to extend in to other areas including on line sales, specialist Siamese fighter fish area, aquarium and cabinet showroom, birdroom and also outdoor pond section selling koi and relevant pond products.

7th Manchester Scouting
Do you want to find something exciting to do in your free time?
Come join your local Scout group 7th Manchester
Open to Boys and Girls from Ages 6 +
The 7th Manchester St. John’s Failsworth Scout Group was formed in June of 1908 and has been in continuous
existence ever since, in fact three years ago we celebrated our Centenary with a weekend of activities that attracted many former members from different generations back to Failsworth to participate in the festivities.
Although the Group takes the name of St. John’s Parish Church we welcome membership from many faiths, indeed scouting is a multi-faith organisation. Membership of Scouting is open to both sexes from the age of six and runs through
to age eighteen and beyond and is sectionalized as follows:
Beavers aged 6 to 8 Cubs aged 8 to 10 ½
Scouts aged 10 ½ to 14 Explorers aged 14 to 18
All sections are staffed and run by a number of adults who are all unpaid volunteers.
We do a variety of things with camping and the outdoors a high priority. Scouting is a lot of fun, develops initiative and teamwork and is definitely a ‘training for life’.
Want to give it a try?
Main Group Contact for all sections is Colin Ogden, tel 0161 684 8201 most days after 4pm.
We meet at Scout HQ, Ashton Road East, Failsworth, M35 9PR (next to the Cotton Tree Inn).
Meeting nights are Tuesdays for Cubs, Thursday for Beavers and Friday for Scouts.
Get in touch, boys and girls, teenagers and adults and get your share of the opportunities on offer!
FUN – FRIENDSHIP – GOOD TIMES

BUFFALO uPVC owner, Mark Farrey and his dedicated team are used to working at great heights. Now
celebrating their 10th successful year of business, it seems that the high standards Mark and his
team have already established are set to carry on rising. Over the last decade, Mark has managed to
achieve success with more than 3,000 customers, particularly in the Oldham area, helping them to
transform their homes with energy efficient windows, doors and beautiful new rooflines. The
company’s excellent reputation is something Mark and his wife Angela are very proud of. The secret
of their success? “We have just been honest,” explained Angela. In fact business is booming despite
the doom and gloom of the recession and Mark reports steady sales. He said: “Work has been brisk
over the past two years despite the recession, and we have seen our best growth. “I believe people
are buying safe and from firms they can trust.” As consumers become increasingly aware of where
they spend their money, particularly when it comes to home improvements, the quality of the
workmanship is more crucial than ever. Mark and Angela recognise the value of doing a job well, first
time, and many of their new customers come from recommendations. Mark commented: “If we do a
good job at a fair price, people will talk” - and that’s exactly what’s happened at Buffalo. Buffalo
offers a full range of quality affordable uPVC products, from fascias to composite doors and A-rated
windows. Personal service is imperative too. Buffalo doesn’t use sales commission agents; instead
Mark or his family deal direct with customers to provide no-obligation quotes at convenient times.
Whatever the economic, there’s no denying the value of good customer service and quality
workmanship, which is just one reason Buffalo uPVC hopes to be around for the next decade and
beyond.
For more information, or to arrange a quote, call Buffalo uPVC on 0161 622 1500. Or visit the website at

Uncle Monkey’s Musings Seeing for sale signs outside the Macedonia on Ashton Road East
stirred a memory or two. Young people might be surprised to hear that it was a
musical hot spot back in the 1960’s! The so called “swinging 60’s” didn't have a
massive effect on life in Failsworth in fact I'm sure life like the TV was black and
white only, but the music was good. Saturday night dances alternated between
the Macedonia, and the Bethel church on Oldham Road, featuring local groups.
The best of them were the “Black Cat Bones” featuring Keith Jones on drums and
“The Black Watch” with charismatic front man, (and later local councillor Ian
Thompson).
The evenings would seem very tame by modern standards, but they were great at
the time and always very safe, I never remember a single moment of threat at ei-
ther venue.
I always liked the “Maccy” and whenever I see now near - neighbour Tony Clough I
always think of him in a dinner suit and bow tie, on stage announcing “good even-
ing and welcome to the Maccy!”. A 60’s icon like Keith Fordyce.
Keith Jones mentioned earlier was a Chadderton Boys Grammar School at the
same time as me. It must have been a good year for musicians, as I also recall
James Litherland who went on to play professionally with “John Hisemans Collise-
um” before forming “The James Litherland Band”. I lost touch with his career
after that, but I'm sure he stayed in the music business.
A recent conversation with Tony and his wife Gaynor brought up the name of Ed-
ward Everett who's mum ran a wool shop on Ashton Road East—(another hark
back to an earlier era). That shop like a lot of others carried in its window a dis-
creet advert for “Spirella Corsets” a formidable looking under garment a bit like a
flack jacket. I have no personal experience of combat, but I'm sure a spirella
corset could have stopped a bullet. I'm sure it didn't pass the notice of the
Ministry of Defence—nice to think spirella corsets may still be saving lives in
Afghanistan.

On a beautiful summers day, two English tourists were driving through Wales. At Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgo-gerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch, they stopped for lunch, and one of the tourists asked the waitress “Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us. Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly”? The girl leaned over and said “Burr-Gurrr-King”.

Got a Chinese take out last night and as I got in the car I heard the bag rustle, so I looked over and saw a pair of eyes looking at me then disappear back inside the bag. I looked again and saw the eyes looking at me again, I ran back inside the shop and asked the guy what he had given me, he said “you no worry, it peking duck”!
