I think Jess Ennis and all of the Olympians are amazing role models!!

No float? This is sooooooo bad. It's the year 2012. Just because you do not have the exact change for the service does not mean you should not get the correct change in return! If they don't have the change they should not charge you! What's wrong for paying for the bus with a note occassionally? Busses need to get with the times!!

Have I missed something? They said they are going to take a statement next week, It's not like they said they are not going to be taking a statement at all! If someone else is covering their work whilst they are on A/L who is going to cover the person who's covering their works work?! They can't just drop everything else they are dealing with to attend every incident straight away! They have to prioritise

Hi, Marco's on Chesterfield Road...the prices are good and they do not charge corkage. I think Kito's (also on Chesterfield Road) allows BYO also.

Try your local corner shop/newsagents or storage companies such as Big Yellow sell them but they not cheap.

Was Fenwick Road just made up for the book then?

La Haine, 3 colours Trilogy, la appartment, Mesrine, The Ring. Anything with Vincent Cassell.

Thanks for the replies, The street names are supposed to refer to Sheffield but it was nearly 25 years ago so maybe those streets don't exist in Sheffield anymore or maybe they were made up for the book?

The book mentions the street names of Fenwick Road and Lester St but I've never hear of those road names in Sheffield?

I've just finished reading a book called 'Fiona's Story' a tragic story about a Sheffield teenager named Fiona Ivison. Fiona got involved in drugs and prostitution in the early 90's and died at the hands of a punter. It was a very sad story, I just wondered if anyone else had read the book?

On the £11 a day note....that's quite a lot of money for each person when you consider mum, dad and all the kids!!! Don't forget the housing benefit, council tax benefit, JSA, income support, free prescriptions, free legal aid the list is endless! I'd be quite upset if each member of my household spent £11 a day, its quite a lot.

I gave it a 4....there are much worse places to live both in the UK and abroad. I've not lived in Sheffield all my life but I like it here. Sometimes when I visit other cities I think they have a lot more going on. Sheffield city centre for shopping for example is absolutely rubbish! and if you work full time you need to leave early if you need to buy anything cos everything shuts up after 5! It's still a nice place tho, the people are nice and I generally don't feel intimidated on nights out for example whereas i've heard it can be pretty rough in some other cities on Fri/ Sat. On a negative tho Sheffield does seem quite deprived city and the violent crime is on the up

Is it even possible for a ramp to be installed at your Grandma's/nannan's house? I'm no expert but some properties are not suitable for a ramp. Those steps look very steep to install a ramp there would need to be enough distance available to accommodate the gradient of the ramp otherwise it will stretch onto the pavement or the road! The occupational therapist may have deemed your Grandma's property unsuitable for a ramp to be installed?

I can't speak for the Emo's but the goths and grungers grew up....we are still here but we now wear formal clothing and frequent the offices in which we work to earn a living. Boo

I would contact the RSPCA, Most people walk their dogs in the same area around the same time so it may be an idea to go back another day around that time. Hope your husband (and the dog!) are ok.

Try Golden Lee on Heeley / London Road....yummy!

You may already be aware but if you have a burglary the police can install or refer you to a scheme who can install security measures to your home and I believe this is free of charge. They will provide things like window locks etc. Contact the police or Sheffield City Council who may be able to advise. I think its called the Burglary Reduction Scheme.

Depending on where you planning to go out the Psalter Pub has rooms. I think the Jury Inn is supposed to be a good price and Travelodge and Ibis usually good prices.

Do we not already pay enough in council tax!!

I've been to one of those easy barber places before...they charged me about £6.50 I thought it would be cheeky to complain is it was still so cheap! but I know what you mean...they never advised me it would be more until after the cut.

There's a house on Rundle Road, Nether Edge which is well spooky!!! Graves Park near the church end and Bunting Nook...wouldn't wanna go down there on my own at night. I've heard a lot of stories about Lightwood are the public able to access for a lil peek? Also Attercliffe is very spooky even during the day!!

What ever happened to people doing things for themselves?? and the whole health and safety argument is the funniest of them all!! If I was so concerned about my own, family's, neighbours or whoever's health and safety then if possible I'd sort it out myself! Some people go on about this and that being a danger to them or their children or whoever but god forbid they do anything about it even if said task in hand could be easily carried out by the individual. Yes they must be so concerned. Hillarious!

I know I may be going off the point slightly but it really does make me laugh when UK citizens who refuse to work criticise people who move to the UK to work.

I do understand what you are saying however the way the system works if a property becomes empty such as this in Treeton everyone will have the chance to bid on it including you....that's fairness. Although you vacating 2 houses for this one does in principle make sense, social housing aims to address what people need. You will be able to bid like everyone else.

Why should the council give you this house just because you want it? what about the fact that there may be many other people that may want it too? If you want it bid like everyone else.
