Smoking is so expensive that I’m not surprised that it is in decline with young people.

Post one this thread, haven’t seen it elsewhere, to be fair to the poster, it’s more of a ‘what if’ ?

We’re not here to enjoy ourselves, that’s for others. 🤨

Well pubs would suffer, as would brewers, distillery’s, vintners, off licences, supermarkets, restaurants and bars, not to mention the tax-man, IMHO it would be political suicide for any party stupid enough to endorse such a move.

Probably caused by him attempting to hold his head in his hands and dropping it. 😉

YES

I was talking of my experiences 14 years ago, looking at the City Centre from my office window in the Yorkshire Bank Building at the corner of Surrey St & Fargate. If this offends you the REPORT button is easily located.

Must take more care with my Cities and Councils, 😉

I mean that folk similar to me, who haven’t set foot in SCC for 14 years, will put the final nail in it’s coffin. Why should folk flock into a place with bad parking, no department stores and the great unwashed polluting everywhere that used to be very classy walkways.

I’m not in the habit of making excuses for SCC however, the decline in both Town and City centre shopping has hit Sheffield and Rotherham badly due to Meadowhall which is similar to having a giant store with multi concessions under cover with great parking and transport links. As and when the council decide to throw the towel in I believe that SCC will recreate itself as a giant student village, thus freeing up a multitude of properties currently used a student accommodation.

It’s not ‘win’, it’s something that rhymes with pit, as it happens we could lose this and still stay up, highly unlikely but still possible.

We’re both in our late 70’s and apparently vulnerable to folk that would rob us. Neither of us walk on dark streets wearing expensive jewellery and try to keep within the safety of other people. However at home we don’t live in fear, perhaps we should take to mind scum bags that rob and injure elderly folk in their homes.

Had the castle not been dismantled by our ancestors it would most likely have been badly bombed in WW2. It is only of late that Sheffield history has come into play, Manor Lodge is a prime example of too little too late.

We’ve left it to the last kick of the season, typical Wednesday, well where there’s life there’s hope.

There is currently an add on TV for an all purpose kitchen knife on offer at under £30.00 from circa £100.00, it looks like something out of an Indiana Jones movie. I wonder how long it will take for it to be used in yet another horrendous knife crime.
