Hi does anyone know if there's a place that could repair my Nikon D3000 camera? It's been sent to Nikon, they said the problem is with the SQ unit but it cannot be replaced as it's been discontinued. I can see that second-hand units are available on ebay, but are there any repairmen for cameras nowadays? Thanks! 🙂 P.S. Harrisons cameras don't do repairs.

Hi, it's Ford Fiesta 2012, 1.4 diesel. 76000 miles, mot and servicing done end of Jan (full service history and recent receipts kept), new battery as the original one has gone flat in the lockdown, mostly motorway driving. I'm the second owner, bought it from the dealer in 2015. PM me for the price if interested, I'm concerned the post will be removed if I put the price on. Reasons for selling: for 3 years I've been commuting Sheffield - Bradford, not doing it anymore, therefore don't need a diesel car to do my weekly food shop 🙂 I actually thought to use gumtree and/or fb marketplace as they don't have any fees for selling. Thanks for warning me.

Thanks everyone for your replies, I'll give it a go!

Just wondering if anyone has sold a used car privately - is it a lot of hassle or a pretty straightforward thing to do? Would be happy to hear your views. I checked the auto trader prices for the cars of a similar age/mileage sold privately, as well as the "webuyanycar"-like websites for selling my car to straight to them, and the difference in price is striking! Part exchange also looks like a "rip off"... Also, is it possible at all to just come and sell a car to a local car trader/garage, without buying from them? any comments are appreciated! thanks.

Hi Can anyone recommend a reliable tiler for tiling a splashback and sink area in the kitchen. We've been turned down by 3 tilers since August - 2 didn't turn up on the day at all, one turned up but left after 10 min and never got back. S20 area. Thanks.

Maybe any decent/acceptable suggestions? The only one who could more_or_less do what I like was a girl from Toni and Guy, I would have even recommended her but she'd left last autumn. I tried the others but with no success....

Hello there With the hair salons reopening soon, can anyone please recommend a good hairdresser for a pixie style haircut? I once cut my hair short when on holidays abroad (before the lockdown obv.!), I liked it a lot and now everytime when I visit a hairdresser back in Sheffield and show them the photos (nothing funky btw, just a pixie style that in my opinion fits me face) they all say "oh, that's easy, we'll get it sorted for you!", and I - always! - end up having a "dumb and dumber" looking hair!!! 😖 If you are used to wearing short hair and have someone you like and recommend, I am desperate to hear from you! 😘 Thanks!

Have just had an 8 yard skip ordered, for 190 +VAT from Bradwells for what looks to me more or less the same size of rubble (2 bathrooms demolished both with suites, shower cubicle and tiles/flooring + ca. 100 sq.m. of laminate/carpets) . If you're patient enough you can align all the bricks and laminate boards inside the skip in such a way so that there even will be some space left for an extra house/garage clearance! :-))) Atb. P.S. Hint: ask for a skip with a drop down front, then you'll be able to use a wheelbarrow!

I am wondering if anyone ever fitted LVT planks on their stairs? I'd like to have ones installed (seems it's perfectly feasible) but I am not sure what to do with the nosings for the flush look (The shop does not supply the matching ones, and the chrome/aluminium ones that they've got will make my oak-effect staircase look like a cheap office/shop o_O). Does anyone know any places to shop for the laminate/vynil staircase nosings? I've been told to go to Sheffield flooring solutions in Darnall, any other suggestions? Thanks!

These points are definitely a start! Thanks a lot!

Hm-m-m.. Looks like in 2010 Barkers Pool was a no-go area for buskers by request of the local businesses?.. I think it's definitely something to start with. Thanks for sharing the link with me!

My other problem is that I know the songs/tunes he plays! For my colleagues he's just annoyingly repetitive and loud, whereas for me it sounds sort of like: "Every night in my dreams I see you I feel you that is how I know you go on" *here he tries to switch smoothly from one tune to another* "Show must go on Inside my heart is breaking My make-up may be flaking" and then again the Titanic theme. In a circle. Every 10 seconds. For the whole day. Every day. When I hear the first accords about 9.15 (yes, he's regular and stays there for nearly the whole day) I'm about to start crying. Then put my headphones on, sigh deeply and continue working. There was a mental health awareness week last week, they talked a lot not to get stressed at work, that's why I said "enough is enough, I need to try to do something". Ill try to get some thoughts/advices from here and then probably try to contact City Council... ---------- Post added 24-05-2018 at 13:11 ---------- What would I ask/tell them? That I can't work because someone tries to get some money for a living instead of begging?.. I'm not being sarcastic. I understand that it's a complicated subject (one person working but at the same disturbing other people's work), and if this guy was granted a licence in the first instance, it meant the city council were happy with him, no? Don't know...

Hi there I am wondering if there is anything that can be done about a busker in the city centre (next to Stone the Crows/John Lewis)? I understand that they try to earn some money, and that it's better than begging... but when you hear a guy always playing (pretty badly btw) only 4-5 tunes, switching between then with every 10-15(!) seconds, every day all day Mon to Fri January to December... It just gets so annoying! On those rare occasions when he's not around there is a guy with a guitar, and he's absolutely brilliant, plays something neutral, not too loud (you can't compare frequencies of a guitar with an accordion) but he's not coming that often as the place is always occupied by this "accordionist". Yes, I did put it in brackets as in my view he's utterly horrible! I try to use headphones/earphones and listen to noisli's white noise but by the end of the day my ears hurt so much that I feel really uncomfortable. I'm also not sure it's healthy to use earphones for 8 hours a day every day. Plus knowing that there's no escape and you will have to face this problem again tomorrow does not help. Any ideas what to do? Is there a chance to speak with City council to shift this guy somewhere further from offices and closer to the high street (in my understanding there're no offices, only shops there, he may even raise more money there)? Or what?

I hope we both understand that if I needed a driving advice I'd ask DVLA or SYP and not SF? They are now covered in a sort of dull coloured shapeless textile and look pretty creepy in the dark, especially if you drive there everyday and are used to yellow boxes on the poles.

... since a few days. Anyone knows why's that?
