  1. Think Al Bundy might have called it right here.
  2. Morrisons at Hillsborough is one example, I think.
  3. Yes,, I've noticed I nearly always get stopped at them as well. To be honest I'm not completely convinced this junction needs lights at all - is Middlewood Road that busy? Traffic has to get in and out of Langsett Avenue without the benefit of lights and seems to do it quite efficiently.
  4. Hmm. Wednesday lost 4-0, United losing 4-0 after half an hour prompts me to ask: what's the worst combined performance by both Sheffield teams on a single day? Anything worse than 8-0?
  5. We did think about it being a mink, but she reckons it wasn't dark enough brown for one. I'd have thought that mink was more likely than polecat.
  6. A couple of nights ago my wife was driving on Soughley Lane (from Wortley end towards Deepcar end, so heavily wooded) when an animal ran across the road in front of her. She says it was shaped like a stoat or weasel, but much bigger. The only thing that seems to fit the bill is a polecat. Does anybody know if they live in that area, or has anybody else seen one?
  7. I still think the Leppings Lane/Penistone Road junction worked better as a roundabout, though that was admittedly before the addition of an extra set of lights at Sainsburys.
  8. They might as well sell off Hillsborough Park for all the use local residents get from it. What with having some of it fenced off while they widened the tarmaced paths, then the Arctic Monkeys, then Tramlines, then months for it to recover, not to mention Sheffield Wednesday commandeering the car park every match day, it's a wonder anybody bothers to go there.
  9. The number of roads closed for this event this year seems more than ever, and the whole park has been boarded up for two weeks beforehand instead of the usual one, and it will presumably take them another fortnight to take them all down afterwards. Even Taplin Road was closed this morning - what's the point of that? People have to go down it to avoid getting fined for going through the tram gate. Time the whole thing was either discontinued or moved somewhere more appropriate. I hope they all get rained on uninterruptedly all weekend.
  10. If it was somebody I desperately wanted to see I'd still say it's in the wrong place.
  11. First it was Tramlines. It's only one weekend, they said. Except it's not, the park is boarded up off limits for a week before and a week after. And then lots of roads are shut on the days involved whic makes it difficult to get down to Hillsborough. Now it's the same thing with the Arctic Monkeys so that will be a whole month that the park's out of action. Maybe it would be good of the council to give us all a council tax rebate for loss of facilities. I wouldn't mind so much if it was somebody good but all we get is indie rubbish.
  12. Does anyone know whether the temporary pedestrian crossing lights in Crookes have any sort of counter attached to them so that they can tell how many times the button has been pressed? I saw somebody cross at the ones by the bus terminus yesterday for the first time since they've been put in. You would think there might be a way of telling how many people have crossed so that if the answer is hardly anybody, they could be moved somewhere else.
  13. Looking at the dashcam footage which was on the Daily Mail website (which gave a different view to that on the Sun's website), it looked to me as though the car carried on on the same trajectory, whereas Dan definitely seems to veer to his right somewhat and in doing so the car contacts his rear wheel. It would be interesting to hear the car driver's version rather than just Dan's.
