  1. I'll eat my hat if they leave the place nice and tidy. Also it will be our council tax that will pay for any cleanup operation.
  2. I have 12 brand new 100W bayonet cap bulbs you can have for free.
  3. If he/she walks to the centre what does he/she do with his/her wheelchair:huh:
  4. Hi. I don't suppose you know the name of the boy second row from the back, third from the right in your photo http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/johnpm-bucket/media/bWVkaWFJZDoyNjMwNTAwNQ==/?ref= He looks a bit like my brother, he had hair that stuck up just like the lad in the picture. He went to Hucklow about that time. He was born in 1950.
  5. THIS is the old Chapeltown WMC. Looks a better building that the present one.
  6. Did you know that the Chinese shop used to be a cafe, It was "The Cosy Cafe" There is a picture of it HERE. ---------- Post added 10-09-2018 at 16:59 ---------- There's a picture of Chapeltown Garage HERE. ---------- Post added 10-09-2018 at 17:05 ---------- It's just on a Friday now and it's not worth a visit.
  7. This was posted on facebook by the seller Andy Blatch yesterday. "In case you were wondering Chapeltown Central Station which my family were selling went to auction today and sold for £395,000 which was £145,000 over the guide price. The new owners are looking at restoring to use as a wedding venue so watch this space" I do hope that is the case. It would be a great shame to see it flattened.
  8. Planning permission has already been granted to turn the first. second and third floors of the building in to four flats. See HERE. Planning permission for the bar and restaurant is still awaiting a decision. See HERE.
  9. I see one of the new shops in the old Royal Oak is an e-cigarette/ Vaping shop. That three now at Chapeltown.
  10. The old station is now up for sale https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-66757675.html I have heard that it going up for auction on 4 September.
  11. The court costs could be up to £3 million and it will be tv licence payers who will foot the bill.
  12. If the BBC appeal, will it be the licence fee payers who will foot the bill for that as well?
  13. Cliff has won his case https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44871799
  14. I'm sure I saw them in Hobbycraft at Meadowhall retail park last week.
  15. Cash on collection or, if you have to post an item don't use Paypal, only accept bank transfer. I have heard many stories about people claiming they never received the goods and then getting Paypal to reverse the payment. I have sold many things on Gumtree, many via post. I get asked all the time if I will accept Paypal and I always say I will only accept bank transfer. I then get proof of postage at the Post Office.
  16. We did the same after closing time at the pub, great days:D Some pictures of it HERE.
  17. I was sat in the x-ray department waiting area at the NGH on Friday morning at 11am and thought I would check out the free wifi. Connected straight away without have to give personal details. I did two speed tests on my phone and was very surprised with the results. Test 1...99.6Mbps download and 111Mbps upload. Test 2...97.9Mbps download and 75.2Mbps upload
  18. I have heard that the KFC (now closed) is to become a Costa.
  19. My sister had British Gas smart meters installed in December last year. In May this year she switched to Scottish Power, now the smart function doesn't work, she now sends readings in once a month. Why won't one companies smart meters work with all the other companies? Seems a bit like the old VHS v BETAMAX scenario.
  20. 118 118 charges £11.23 for a 90 second call to its service!!!!!! No wonder they can keep putting all those stupid adverts on the TV. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44473507
