  1. I am looking to buy a camera and have been looking at the Nikon D3200 and the Canon EOS 600D. I am after a all rounder as I am a bit of a novice but dont want to have to upgrade too quick as these things are not cheap. Just thought I would put it out there and see what the good folk of sheffieldforum think? All suggestions welcome.

  9. This is my little review on The Broadfield that I put on their Facebook page. My Partner and me had a lovely meal with you yesterday. The beef and blue cheese sausage with mash and spring veg was no less than divine. Thanks to our waitress who was friendly and attentive. My favorite line of hers was "sorry they have been a bit over zealous with the gravy" This is not possible as even if I had required arm bands to stay afloat i would of happily bobbed around in it. My partner had the sausage sandwich with chips with a boat of gravy (never understood why they call them boats when the liquid goes on the inside, anyway I digress). The beers/lagers were also very nice I sampled the Lowenbrau and the Acorn Vangaurd. The Lowenbrau was spot on with my dinner nice fresh n crisp, so nice in fact I had to have another. My partner had a non-liquid dessert of the lemon and lime parfait with homemade biscuits. I think she liked it, she wasn't so much describing it as mmming and aaaahing. I had a little try as not into sweets so much but I have to say it was lovely really zingy and refreshing. I tried to order Katie a liquor coffee after her dessert to be told bar a bar man that they don't do them as they are a pub and it is too time consuming. Its a pity as they have a great barista machine and lots of liquors. Also I can't see them taking any longer than the good list of cocktails they do. So instead of a Tia Maria cream floater we ended up with a mug of black coffee a shot of Kahlua and a small jug of milk not cream. I was slightly disappointed but as my partner didn't seem to mind too much it was fine. After our meal we went and sat in one of the train style carriage booths with a friend where I started on my dessert, the Vangaurd. This is one of the best beers I have had in a while and I have tried a few in El Broado since its revamp, from the light Farmers Blonde to the liquid licorice that is Acorns Gorlovka. It was hoppy and for me served at the perfect temperature. To summarise mmmmmmmmmm. My only other less than pleased point was halfway through my pint I was asked to settle the bill even though we were still drinking and I had started a tab as not to keep using my card at the bar. So I paid the bill and by the time the last digit of my pin had gone into the PDQ (which I only recently discovered means Pretty Darn Quick apparently???) I had forgotten of my displeasure and went on to enjoying my afternoon. We were shortly joined by a couple more friends and their little bundle of joy Nelson (Beautiful staffordshire bull terrier not baby). I love pubs who welcome well behaved dogs. Anyone that has read all this and are thinking of heading down The Broadfield I strongly advise you do. Good pubs are a dying breed and need the support of the local community. I feel strongly about this, this is probably the most I have written since leaving school in 98. Thanks again for a great afternoon. I hope this spurs people on to go in if they haven't as it really is a great pub.
  10. As a worker at The Waggon and Horses when it shut I can tell you that our jobs were never offered. Pam who ran the pub before it shut down put so much love and hard work into it. The customers were always well looked after from the young kids with their free meals and coloring sheets to the more mature and sometimes infirm always being helped to their seats and provided with table service where needed. I for one will miss the old Waggon as it had a great team who always took care of each other and a good set of regulars. It is such a pity that pub companies squeeze the life out of people trying to just make a living. The price of rent and beer from Spirit are ridiculous. Give it 10 years and all you will have is bloody Weatherspoons. Though I am no longer behind the bar serving you and feel slightly bitter (sorry for the pun) about it I do still urge you to go in as pubs are a dying breed and need the support of the local community. I wish the new management of The Waggon and Horses good luck in the future and I will be up for a neb at some point. Sadly you are further away than The Broadfield (GREAT PUB!!!) Right I will stop rambling on now, remember people support your local before they are all gone. Much love. ChilliPepper.
  11. Cheers for that still interested in its age and cant seem to find anywhere that states it. I am thinking 1940 - 1960 but not sure.
  12. I recently found a vintage Donatus zigarrenabschneider (cigar cutter) in a charity shop in great condition. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into its age? I know it was made in Solingen Western Germany (as it was). http://s1100.photobucket.com/albums/g404/Stefan_Lumb/?action=view&current=Cigarcutter.jpg Any info would be greatly appreciated. ChilliPepper.
  13. Cheers people of Sheffield. Share on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bring-Eleanor-home-safe/303791936302644
