Thanks everyone, that's exactly what I was looking for. Based on these posts and the current online deals I'm going to try Ocado first, then maybe Tesco next week. I'll stay clear of Asda. For other's reference, a few have deals on first time deliveries, e.g. £15 off a £60 shop (tesco), or £20 off an £80 shop (Ocado, sounds worth it for the year's worth of free midweek deliveries you also get). Waitrose don't start discounting until you get to £100, and tbh I've never spent more than £65 on a weekly shop ever. Thanks again everyone

Thanks for the responses. There are many ways I could have gone about looking for an answer, and this is the one I chose - this way I might hear about an option I hadn't previously considered. Thanks for the good info, fredsredhat.

Hi all. I'm about to use supermarket home delivery for the first time as I have sustained an injury that prevents me from being able to walk without crutches. A forum search only turned up old threads relating to specific supermarkets. I would like to hear from people who have used any supermarket home delivery service in the Abbeydale/Netheredge area. I understand this might start an opinions war... I only need to know if they will carry the delivery up into the kitchen of my first floor flat; please only respond if you are certain they can offer this service. Reasonably priced and punctual would be nice extras Thanks.

Yup, looks like it. I think they took it too far away for it to be a prank, and the footpeg was hinged upwards so I don't reckon they got it started at all and just gave up. That or maybe tried to sell it to the guy down there who does bikes and trikes - I'm planning to go and ask him if someone approached him. Anyways - with my excess up at a third of the bike's value, I'm just glad to have her back. Yep, a chain is already on it's way to me...

Thanks Doom Bringer - I had my van stolen in Crookes earlier this year and found her four streets over after we went out looking. Kelham Mills is a direct and all downhill destination from where the bike went missing on Sunday, so in future yes - I think I'll take the idea of finding things in the immediate area more seriously Some really disappear in the back of a truck, but not all of 'em!

Babybel - thanks for your help, much appreciated Happy days for me - I told a friend yesterday about the theft, and he told a friend who he went to lunch with; lo and behold said friend told him there was a bike just like mine that had been parked outside his flat at Kelham Mills for the last three days! I managed to sort it out and recovered her myself last night - she was upright and totally unharmed Thanks everyone who looked out for her.

***NOW RECOVERED*** Hi all, Had my bike pinched sometime between 3pm Sunday 22nd and 9pm Monday 23rd July, from the pedestrian part of portobello road just off Mappin street. CCTV shows me parking up but then the camera was turned away. Tramlines was going on so there were plenty of people about, just wondering if anyone saw anything? The bike is red with a grey and orange stripe on the tank, twin chromed exhausts each side of the back wheel, a green dragon on a dragon rally sticker on the tank, square headlight. It's a 1990 bike in good nick but she needed a clean! Any help appreciated, police notified etc. Thanks for looking.

I know it sounds daft, but my Mum once phoned me to tell me the sound on her laptop had stopped working. After half an hour of trying various things, we discovered the problem was that she'd plugged her Skype microphone into the headphones port! Good luck with it

I read this post earlier today, and then read this on the news: "bbc.co.uk/news/business-12934140" you'll have to put the "www" bit in, because I'm too fresh a member to be allowed a weblink

That's a very good point. I'm a 29 year old engineering student (did a foundation year), and I really hate the few 1h40m lectures we get - you retain a lot less in the long run than you can from the 50m lectures. When I read the discussion title, my instinct was to say hell no - 1h40m? That's way too long for kids to focus on something constructive. I still think so for any dry academic subject, but I totally agree that it has to be horses for courses. Having said that, I can't think of too many instances where a 1h40m lecture is going to be better than a 50m.
