  1. You don't need to go to one of those boothes anymore . If you apply online you just take a photo against a plain wall with your phone / i pad upload it and it almost instantly tells you whether its ok . i renewed mine on line in February, its a dead easy website to follow . Mine took 4 weeks to arrive
  2. Apple pay on your phone is the easiest way by a mile . No need to carry cash or a card. For many years i resisted, and used to curse students paying for rounds in crowded bars in town . Nowdays its the people with cash that slow things down at the bar.
  3. There is a guide , and its great for learning of new bars and events in the area . https://www.thisissheffield.com/kelham-island/
  4. I've always used Powertech down near the Rother Valley for all our tool repairs at work . They'll tell you whether its worth repairing if you're unsure . https://www.powertech-industrial.co.uk/
  5. We went at the weekend and had a few drinks sat outside in the sun . It was lovely . The service was faultless , and although i only briefly saw the inside it looked really nice . Certainly a great addition to the city center.
  6. And this my slant . I’ve got a car . Even if buses were free I would not use them . I don’t see why I should subsidise buses when I don’t use them .
  7. I’ve been a few times , it’s always been busy , so it’s proving to be a great addition to Sheffield social scene . Admittedly, it a little bit out on a limb in the location it’s in , but I keep seeing plans to redevelop that area so hopefully in a few years it might be complementing some nice new trendy bars .
  8. I stand by my statement . Taxpayers should not be paying for a prosecution. It should be the company itself . Pretty much like most fraudlant insurance claims are brought to court . Its not the police pressing the charges but a private investigation company .
  9. Not read all the pages on this , but this is my take . It’s clearly a con , yet this guy is getting plenty of media attention out of it , at the expense of a lot of bad publicity for Camelot . Yes it’s fraud , but I don’t think it’s the police or CPS should be wasting tax payers money on this taking him to court . For me , it’s Camelot that should be bringing a private prosecution to put an end to this saga and deter similar minded fraudsters in the future.
  10. I buy a lot online at metals 4u https://www.metals4u.co.uk/quick-shop/c1755/sheet/c1765?promo_name=quick_shop
  11. If you’re not a real ale person and just want to go round some decent busy bars . Try starting in All Bar about 6.30ish . Cross the road try any of the Leopold square bars imidiatley to the left . Cross the square and go in Cuckoo . From there Maida Vale . Bit of a walk then onto Division St . Go in Frog and Parrot , Old House (although I think it might have changed it’s name again ) Forum bar , and Green Room If you manage that lot , trust me you’ll have had a blummin good night
  12. Let’s hope it can attract shops to pull shoppers away from Meadowhall , Leeds and Manchester . In my opinion it’s vital we do, we don’t need any more Home Bargains, Poundland’s, and Pound Stretchers . We need to attract shoppers that will spend , stop in our hotels , use the restaurants and bars . Tell their friends and come back again.
  13. My reply is too late for today’s match . However for future reference try the new Sports bar in the Genting club. It’s got a massive main screen with incredible picture quality , plus numerous other screens .
  14. As the post above . I once went to a charity do in town that was a wine tasting evening . The guy who owns Mitchell’s was the guest speaker ( I think they also supplied the wine )he was fantastic , proper expert in the field , and a witty host
  15. If it's a funeral cortège you are allowed to ride motorcycle / scooters without a helmet on . It's meant to be showing respect for the deceased
  16. What a pathetic post . Talk about moaning for moanings sake. Sheffield council should be applauded for fighting its corner to get the station where we have . There was a great danger we could have missed out altogether which really would have made our great city a backwater village in generations to come.
  17. I've been several times and love the place .. The cocktails are fantastic , and the girls serving them friendly and very knowledgable about what's in them . The music is great , and set to just about the right volume , loud enough to enjoy it , but not too loud that you can't talk . To many bars are much of a muchness , this one certainly is different and I hope it becomes a success. It's certainly been busy every time I've been in so far.
  18. This is a long , long thread now. My take on this is that now Royal accent as been given the project is going to happen . Winge about the cost and benefits as much as you want , but it's a fact it will be built. The in fighting , the objections to various locations puts Sheffield in great danger of missing out altogether . If we don't get the station in the city centre it will be scandalous. The 4 th biggest city in England , with no airport and no HS2 seriously puts businesses off investing in the town centre and surrounding areas. In years to come we will see Leeds and Manchester prosper yet further at our expense.
  19. Totally agree with you pal . On a slightly different note I'm personally fed up with the aggressive begging for money that goes on in the city centre. It's a life style choice for most
  20. The lad who got sent down was Lee Belamy. It was about 1994 from memory .
  21. Yes the city desperately needs better quality hotels . im always suprised to hear of the difficulty our company as booking in our American visitors into hotels of the standard they expect . Use the money from the sale to build an iconic modern building on the vast building site that will soon be in the area where the Grovenor once stood.
  22. Anybody got any decent suggestions for watching the England game in town this Friday night. Common Room will be to busy , Walkabouts ok , but where else as got decent screens that will have it on ?
  23. If you like football , sport etc , Saturday afternoon in the Common Room on Division St is a good place to spend a few hours.
  24. I'm surprised nobody as mentioned the Soulfaces. I've seen them countless times performing in town. Excellent band http://www.soulfaces.co.uk/
