  1. Only in a negative sense, used an ad-blocker as the adverts on their site often took up more space than the content... Never bought the paper and wont bother with the website now either - to be honest if its really newsworthy the national press will carry it and if its just local "gossip" then there are plenty of Facebook groups / this forum anyway. Always nosed at the the food section though just to see if anything local was worth a look, although it seemed at times the write ups were more like paid placements than proper reviews . Guess on one hand they save a little bandwidth by blocking people like me but wonder how much they will lose in terms of the "silently sponsored" reviews and corporate news when then web stats show a drop in traffic....
  2. Did wonder, from what I saw there was one in the middle of the road with very little, if any damage and another already pulled over / parked. Bit daft really, if the damage is so minor just take some photos for the insurance companies and push it out the way - like you say the police have far better things to do...
  3. Not the biggest thing in the world but does anyone know what happened about 5:15pm? We just missed what looked a very minor accident between Lindsay and Ingelow however according to friends that way that section is still blocked with police in attendance. Knowing how fast some drive on the side streets around it probably won't be long before there is another accident...
  4. If your a council or housing association tenant I'm pretty sure they will / can collect rubbish so many times a year - might be small charge but got to be less than hiring someone.
  5. Richardsons DIY in Firth Park - used them many times for timber and sheet materials, prices have always been very close if not better than the big names and they will happily work from a cutting list.
  6. Yup, a couple of times and very nice it is lol - the heat builds in stages so goes flavour, heat, more flavour, more heat and so on. On a side note, really rate Chutney in general - never had anything but great food and very friendly service, its not the biggest or "poshest" but think that's a plus point more than anything.
  7. Was half expecting your link to have been this song instead -
  8. Richardsons in Firth Park - Proper old school DIY store with very helpful staff, if not on shelf dare say they could order in for you :-)
  9. Very lucky to get it back without having to take the insurance claim further - read this bit "I checked, it isn't mentioned explicitly, but I did not report 3 points I got on my license 2 years ago so if they want to screw me over... Winds me up that they can, I wasn't aware that I had to report that and I am fairly sure very few people actually are. Sure it is in the small-print, but..." and thought oops as I wouldn't have been surprised if the insurance company cancelled the policy for failing to declare the points - its a standard question when taking out a policy to ask if the driver has any endorsements, claims etc over the past x years. Given insurance policies / prices are based on risk the undeclared points may or may not have changed the premium and at the extreme end whether they would have offered to insured the OP at all. Sorry if it sounds like a rant / lecture but potentially by not declaring those points you've been driving around more or less uninsured, if you'd been in an accident or had to claim for a total loss due to car not being recovered it would have been an ideal get out for them to avoid paying, leaving you out of pocket and possibly in bother with plod...
  10. Thanks for the replies, will get on to them in the morning - if it was only the odd few bits I'd have taken them to the tip but looks like a skip full from what I can see up there.
  11. Just a quick one as the council don't do weekends end and Google is drawing a blank... Will the council clear rubbish / junk left in an attic from previous tenants or offer any assistance in doing so?
  12. Bit of a random one but the Mrs and i are trying to remember the name of a place we visited a few years back that sold blinds, curtains, home furnishing etc.... She is sure its in Attercliffe whilst i reckon Hillsborough, it was more or less across the road from a tram stop and from memory had quite a sloping entrance road up the car park. Any ideas / suggestions? Its driving us both mad trying to figure it out lol
