It's a group of lads from further up the hill.. race around on bikes all night long, cutting through the traffic lights at Sainsbury's like lunatics. I've never seen one in a helmet or even sat down on the ruddy things. They then proceed to loop around the Leppings Lane estate all night long. Doing my head in now in this area - it's getting worse. Just wish I could afford to move.

brilliant - there's an option!

Does the university offer some sort of car park scheme? The other does if you live a reasonable distance away.

2 lads knocking on doors milkmen s5 area

We have milk delivered from McQueens Dairy. Two men knocked on my door... can't fault their service and prices! -
I remember this well. Always made me chuckle. Was quite amusing looking around and seeing very confused people who didn't recognise his voice and wondered why on earth they'd changed it. I've met him a couple of times in groups and at the football. Nice guy, didn't want to stand out; he was quite happy in a group talking rather than being loud and "famous."

The IKEA in Sheffield thread

All this fuss over some flat pack furniture I don't think people realise there was one down the road in Notts and one up in Leeds before! -

Admins - sorry if in the wrong place! This is my amazing Dad. Rival Sheffield fans unite in raising awareness of prostate cancer Both Owls and Blades fans will be hoping to get one over their fiercest rivals across the city on Sunday. But not Wednesdayite Bill Wood and his Unitedite friend Gary Birch, who won’t care about the score in the 128th Steel City derby. The two men from opposing sides of the footballing city were diagnosed with prostate cancer within months of each other and their bond won’t be divided by the derby clash. After a five-and-half-year wait the time has come again for banter, jibes and the steely determination to secure the bragging rights – but football is taking a back seat for these two mates. The pair, who have both now had surgery to remove their prostates, are keen to speak about the danger signs. They said this game means more to them than any other, but in a different way. Bill, aged 65, from Holmesfield, said: “It’s not about the score; it’s about being at the game when I didn’t know if I would be able to before. “That may sound dramatic to some people but to be diagnosed with cancer is a real shock; your entire world is turned upside down. Everything seems to stop – work, family, social life – all because of the word ‘cancer’. Unitedite Gary, 56, said: “If you’d asked me a year ago if I wanted to have my photo in the derby programme talking about my illness I would have told you that there was more chance of me buying a season ticket at Hillsborough. “But if Bill and I can convince one man reading this to go to get checked, it’s worth it. “We stand at opposite sides of the ground as rivals, but we’ll always be on the same team. We’re cancer survivors. “We owe thanks to the amazing healthcare professionals who operated on us and cared for us. “We owe a lot to our family and friends who have stuck by us and encouraged us. “Please use our story today as an example, and a reason to get checked and keep on top of regular appointments. We’ve been lucky, some aren’t as fortunate.” Bill said:“As I take to my seat in the North stand, I’ll just be Bill the Wednesdayite again. “I’ll cheer, I’ll shout, I’ll clap and I’ll sing. That’s something I didn’t know if I’d be able to do just a few months ago. “I’m eternally grateful to our healthcare system and to Prostate Cancer UK for supporting me, and my family, through this.” Gary is getting on his bike for the Grand Depart Classic in June to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.

Woman jailed for 4 years for hit and run death.

I was so shocked to see this. I know Eric's wife, Karen, and saw how much heartache this woman caused her and her family. Their world will never be the same again. I don't understand how a re-offender isn't sent straight back down ?! I thought that was the entire point?! -

Milk deliveries, city centre
Victoria1867 replied to Grahamfff's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
So did we but we were more than happy to order from an independent again rather than mass-produced rubbish. -
How strange that's happened as it's closed down..

Milk deliveries, city centre
Victoria1867 replied to Grahamfff's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
McQueens seem to deliver ours late on a Sunday evening now, meaning the milk is out all night. We went to put the bin out at about 11:30pm one evening and the next morning's milk was already there.. -
Crumbs, will sort tomorrow! ---------- Post added 16-08-2017 at 11:19 ---------- Where do I look online? You'd think after a mass mail-out they'd have a button that says "Complete your household enquiry form" !

:hihi: Also got one of these. Our information hasn't changed.. do we need to send it back again?!
