  1. Try composting. You can get cheap composters through the council; see the Get Composting link here: https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/environment/waste/gardenwaste/composting.html Vince
  2. You're in Rotherham, simple as that. The postcode area codes refer to the sorting office which covers that area; similarly, phone dialling codes refer to which exchange you're attached to. Sometimes they match the district you live in, sometimes they don't; for example in bits of Manchester people might have an SK postcode (Stockport sorting office) or WA (Warrington), even outside those towns. Doesn't mean you live in Stockport, that's just where your post is sorted.
  3. No really, it is illegal. There's a difference between criminal law and civil law, but they're both the law.
  4. First friendly is tomorrow, easy intro for anybody.
  5. No, don't set up in the countryside because you'll bother the wildlife. Set up in a soundproofed building instead.
  6. Apparently not: http://www.metrolink.co.uk/contactus/faqs.asp
  7. At busy times, it's cars which get more delayed; the tram gets precedence at all the junctions (i.e. traffic lights automatically change to green as it approaches) keeping it on time. One problem you'll have on the tram is that it gets crowded; but at the stops you're using, you'll get on before most people so you'll get a seat pretty easily.
  8. Because they barely make any money selling petrol; the profit margin is actually really small on fuel. The only way they can make it a viable business is to attract customers by selling fuel, but also sell other stuff (milk, pasties) which will make a real profit.
  9. Apparently Australia tries to cope by ... (drum-roll) ... having hosepipe bans! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_restrictions_in_Australia Maybe it's not such a stupid idea after all.
  10. We're shortly going to start the next season of the 8-ball (normal english pool) league on Wednesday nights. If you fancy joining in, our team at the Byron House has room for a couple of new players, and we've got a couple of friendly matches arranged before the new season starts so you can come down and meet us. Drop me a PM if you're interested - Vince P.S. Friendlies are Wed 25th April and 2nd May, just pop in and ask for me. Both at home in the Byron House, Nether Edge.
  11. Yes, no problem. Normally you shouldn't defrost something then refreeze it, because the time while it's defrosted gives the bugs a chance to get in there; but the bugs will all get wiped out when you cook the shepherd's pie.
  12. I'm glad that there are off-roaders with a sense of responsibility, and an awareness of the damage that the hobby does - I had no idea that they did practical work to keep the lanes in good order. But the comments from Angelfire1, damageandy and Greengeek reinforce my belief that there are enough irresponsible off-roaders that the damage will continue, until the authorities have no option but to close lanes to motorised traffic (such has already happened at Chapel Gate).
  13. There are degrees of unfriendliness though. Driving down a nice tarmacced urban road does a limited amount of harm (exhaust pollution, noise, wear and tear to road surface, etc); but taking motor vehicles up and down rough country tracks does far more harm. Stanage Causeway now is an absolute wreck; it used to be a nicely stone-paved rural road but has been destroyed over the past couple of decades so now apparently even the 4x4s can't go uphill on it.
  14. The girlfriend and I were in there last night, and we found the table service very good - our waiter noticed when drinks were running low and came over to ask if we needed anything from the bar. Probably quicker than if I'd had to go and queue up at the bar myself. Also, it was only Thursday night but the place was packed - we only just got a small table to eat at.
  15. Roney's, Sharrow Vale - they definitely do Merguez.
