  1. Whatever happened to Slimsid? Maybe he was actually Paul Daniels.
  2. Cheers Irene, I’m honoured you spared some of your valuable time to respond so swiftly. Where do I collect my badge?
  3. Wow, it’s a bit dull on here these days. This ludicrous ‘Irene’ persona dominates every thread with his/her/its insights and everyone wastes their time responding. Perhaps it’s an AI bot of some sort, the lowest common denominator of SF user over its history.
  4. That’s shocking. You were very patient. I think I’d have called 111 or even the fire brigade and explained. No functioning fire exit is a potential death trap. Post-Grenfell the council needs to be all over this sort of issue pronto.
  5. Just like with many other pubs which are flattened all over the country, it’s nothing to do with whether the pub is any good, whether it’s popular or not, or whether it’s important for the community. All that matters is profit for developers.
  6. ...and after being open about 2 weeks Oli's windows are covered and it's going to be a sushi restaurant! Called Mizu or something similar. I wonder what happened with Oli's. Must be the shortest-lived cafe/restaurant in Sheffield.
  7. It shut in the summer and hasn't reopened. It looks like it's finished. Shame as it was a good example of that sort of retro pizza. It's all wood-fired authentic twice the price stuff nowadays. I like those too but pizza is supposed to be peasant food.
  8. Why anyone bothers going in is a a mystery to me. Don’t seem to have any cask ale these days and general air of pub in enforced terminal decline prior to conversion to housing.
  9. It seems to have a massive artificial tree in the middle of the room! Not a xmas tree but a feature tree.
  10. Perhaps the access between the main bus stops on Glossop Rd (and Whitham Rd) and all parts of the hospitals could be improved so that more people could use the many services that stop in the area? The 120 is very frequent and effectively functions as an extension of the tram route passing the RHH all the way to Fulwood. It’s similar on the other side with the 52 route to Crookes. There are also several other bus services. If there ever was a tramline past the Hallamshire, people would still face the same issue of getting from the stop/platform to wherever they’re going in the Hospital. We need to make the pedestrian, wheelchair, pushchair and cycling experience better around all the S10 hospitals. But tram expansion anywhere is pie in the sky. We can make bus services better right away if the will is there. Probably under a new government there will be more chance of this kind of thing. So how about we use the grassy area in front of the hospital to make a small bus interchange for services in both directions? Have lifts up from it straight into corridors serving the hospital. Enable the 120 and other services from town to turn directly in from the main road and loop back on to it again and on towards Fulwood. The tiny roundabout by the Medical School does this now for some buses, but invest in a bigger and better version that all buses can use.
  11. Noodlee Branch in Nottingham has same logo. So maybe a small chain. Looks good.
  12. If so that would be a useful addition if it’s any good and would do well. Sun House (I always think of Son House the blues man) by the post office does nice food and has a few tables and chairs but I don’t think of it as a restaurant.
  13. Irene - perhaps you could open one of your cash only bacon and egg kiosks down there? You could make a fortune from all those office workers. Sell small bottles of beer at £5 a pop and you can call it a cafe bar or artisan food 'kitchen'.
