  1. Went into Halifax recently to try and open a bank account for my daughter, which you can't do online. Took all the necessary documents with us, only to be told they couldn't do it as we hadn't made an appointment in advance. They were fully booked and unable to offer us an appointment at any suitable time in the near future (most were within school hours) so I have now given up. So much for teaching my child financial independence and responsibility. Clearly there is a demand for services that are only offered in the person, and I can't see how closing the largest branch in the city is going to be meeting this demand.
  2. Was there a couple of weeks ago and have nothing but positive feedback. The service was quick and friendly and the fresh baked scone was one of the best I have ever had.
  3. Lark Street and Thrush Street in Walkley.
  4. Have you tried Bambukat, just over the road from Balti King? Sells its wares as "Indian Street food" rather than the standard menu list of korma, madras etc but have had some delicious curries from there.
  5. Yes, this is the case, as I have just discovered while trying to plan travel to account for train strikes this week. Actually couldn't believe it until I looked at several different websites that all told me the same thing. Two major northern cities 40 miles apart and no direct bus or coach route between them . So much for "levelling up"!
  6. You no longer need to pre-book at the STC gyms - just turn up whenever. Not sure about swimming though.
  7. Have been back recently, but sadly it looks like the stall has gone 😢
  8. Thank you for posting the useful info, Buster. I notice this applies only to first or second vaccinations. The NHS website seems to have very limited availability for boosters in Sheffield, so if anyone knows of anywhere doing walk in booster jabs, that would be helpful.
  9. Pre- booked with City App last night as we had the chance of a rare night out and wanted to be on time for a restaurant reservation. Ten minutes after the time I had booked for, the app was still apparently "looking for a driver". Gave up and eventually got an uber after 3 attempts with the app. Is pre-booking not actually a thing any more? Was I naive to think that by requesting a taxi 2 hours in advance, it might actually turn up roughly when I wanted it? If I had phoned 2 hours in advance instead, would that have been any different? What about if I had been trying to get to the train station or to the hospital? Strikes me as being a pretty poor way of running a service!
  10. Yes, the idea was to accumulate as many miles as possible, rather than visiting as many different boxes ( though you could of course, do both!). I thought this was a great initiative and lived the competitive element- my kids' school won a prize to spend on PE equipment that they otherwise probably couldn't afford. Really hope it comes back again at some point!
  11. Is he definitely still there? Couldn't find the stall when I last ventured down there a few weeks ago. Has it moved, maybe?
  12. The Millowners Arms in Kelham Island do.
  13. The signage for the diversion coming from the Langsett Road direction really isn't great. The sign appears to point down a no entry road. Almost turned down there myself and have seen several others do the same.
