  1. Another issue with the 57 is the change of time. My son used to have time to leave the High School at 3pm and run down the hill to catch the bus back to Wadsley. The bus now leaves about 5 mins earlier so he had no hope of getting it and has to catch the SL1 and walk up Langsett Avenue. He would love to use the 57 service but the changes made to it mean he cannot. This will be another nail in the coffin for the service and no doubt used as a reason to remove it altogether. Same thing happened (many years ago) to the 87 service going up Wood Lane in Stannington. They made the service so unreliable you had to use the 88 instead and have a 10 min walk through a field (or longer through an estate) to ensure you could get home. The service was then removed as no one used it!!
  2. Sheffield Rangers U12s are looking for a goalkeeper For more information please contact Lee on 07876 752591
  3. I would think carefully about about sending your child to a school that are not happy to show you around first. I had a similar response from the school my daughter was looking to change to. When I queried it, they just said that no one had asked to view it first! They were very welcoming when we visited and we were happy then to complete the transfer form.
  4. We always use Simmonite on Division Street and never had a bad purchase yet
  5. Can definitely recommend Steve at AB Aerials - he has done lots of work for us in the past, and he is always the first person we call if we have any issues
  6. I've just bought a Rocketfish one from Carphone Warehouse and can testify it is much sturdier than either my original apple one, or any of the cheaper ones from ebay,poundland etc
  7. Just seen the trailer myself - things are looking up. Either that or they were unable to refilm the links!!
  8. School Road Dental Surgery in Crookes - go see Claire as she is wonderful
  9. The problem with asking this question is very few parents will have tried out both schools. Those with children who have been to one will always rate if over the other. My two children have gone through Marlcliffe and both have done well there. The current leadership team have really cracked down on bad behaviour and particularly low level persistant bad behaviour, ie 'messing around'. Other aspects that Marlcliffe offer include a residential trip to France in Y6 as well as other residential trips lower down the school. They work hard with the children to ensure they reach their potential. I have no experience of Malin Bridge so cannot comment on how they differ. Remember that league tables are not everything
  10. There was actually 6 governors at the meeting, it was only the Chair who was answering the questions which is why some people may have thought she was the only one there. All of the governors who were there stayed until the very end of the meeting and made themselves available for any questions.
  11. I used to bank with HSBC for many years without any problem. However, when you do have a problem their customer service was dire. We actually had their paid for current account for about 18 months and I used to laugh that they answered with something along the lines of 'by having this account you are speaking to a UK call centre' We then found out the main benefit of the account , for which we had signed up for, (interest refunded on completion of a loan) had been mis-sold to us and we could not claim it back. To be fair to them, after we complained they refunded all our premiums and reverted the account back again. We left the bank soon after and moved to Yorkshire Bank who have been fantastic - and they have UK call centres.
  12. I think they need to supply a magnifying glass with the new directories!
  13. I've had a few deals with KGB and never had any problems. I find them very good and have never had a company refuse to honour the deal like I have with Groupon. Then again, it is hit and miss as I have also had some good deals with Groupon.
