  1. Yes - like I've said, some ends up as cooking oil.
  2. Margarine is as likely to contain palm oil or sunflower oil. Rapeseed is also made into cooking oil, biodiesel and cattle cake. Not really a food like peas.
  3. How does growing a legume crop eg peas, instead of oil seed rape, constitute not growing food?
  4. Makes you wonder how the roundabout copes with rush hour 5 days a week when half the population of Dronfield is commuting to or from Sheffield.
  5. https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/sheffield/year-1995 Inch of rain 16 May and 24 - 29 May was reasonably damp. Thought he disappeared early June,
  6. Best part of an inch of rain in 7 September would have shifted a lot of stuff downstream pretty sharpish.
  7. They won't all happen on the same day and not thousands every weekend - and not at the same time as all the commuter traffic from Dronfield etc goes through Meadowhead. 450 parking spaces is way more than many football grounds, even in the Premier League.
  8. The older you get the more chance you'll die - and often of multiple causes eg my mum had heart trouble, dementia and cancer when she died. She was also worn out caring for my dad who had Alzheimers for some years and died a year before she did. Ain't no silver bullet for cancer or for many of the other diseases / conditions that will see us off in our old age.
  9. The immunotherapy you quoted doesn't "cure" cancer - merely extends life expectancy for a few months, We all die of summat. Anyone found a cure for old age?
  10. Potentially only one moderately heavy rain event needed to move a body that far given the Sheaf is largely in culverts from roundabout at bottom of Granville Road through to confluence with the Don.
  11. Given the cost and the small gain in life expectancy, probablu not. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/apr/11/gamechanging-cancer-drug-rejected-for-use-on-nhs#:~:text=A gamechanging immunotherapy drug that,system to fight the cancer. although nivolumab can give people with advanced head and neck cancers an extra three months of life – when survival expectancy at present is around six months – the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) has rejected it. “The committee heard that treatment options for patients in this area are limited, and it’s important to patients that treatment extends their life and improves the quality of life. But the additional costs of nivolumab were considered to be very high in relation to its benefit to be recommended for routine NHS use at present,” said Prof Carole Longson, director of the health technology evaluation centre at Nice. Nice will not approve drugs that cost more than its threshold of £20,000 to £30,000 per year of quality life, except for an end-of-life treatment – as this drug is – in which case the threshold rises to £50,000. But Nice believes nivolumab would cost between £66,000 to £75,000 per year of quality life.
  12. So thousands of cancer specialists the world over are having the wool pulled over their eyes by "big pharma" 😎
  13. Far more vehicles turn up near Hillsborough or Bramall Lane on match days and in the same time frame. Those areas manage. Realistically, how many vehicles will turn up for Sheffield FC or Eagles games on a regular basis?
