What is worse is shops that charge you 50 pence to spend your own money.

This is what happens in nature,we all need foood,what did you have for dinner last night?

I hate having music imposed on me whether I want to listen or not. We even have it imposed on us in our local Drs surgery,to me it is no better than having a day out ruined by other people playing their ghetto blasters. Please,turn it off!!!!

S**thole,but people ok.

I live Sheffield 2,and have nothing but praise for our binmen. They usually turn up on time,and this month delivered me a new blue bin without me having to ask. Lets face it,they do a sh**y job in all weathers cleaning up our waste. Well done chaps and a big thankyou from a grateful customer.

I always use City Cabs and have never had less than the best service.

Lots of praise for the staff at the CO OP on Northern Ave,they have cleared a huge area of snow in front of the shop and beyond. Well done and thank you. Ps where are the ploughs?,this is a busy bus route.

You could try the old method of stretching shoes,stuff them a tightly as you can with slightly damp newspaper and leave for a week or so. Works for me every time as I have one foot larger than the other.

We moved to Garland way August 1974 to Garland Way,no proper roads/pavements ect,got through three pushchairs in six months due to pushing it round on rough ground. Absolutely hated it and swapped to old Mosborough within six months,my tatty old furniture just didn't look right in a brand new house.

I used to believe that life was a bowl of cherries,now know that it is a bucket of c**p.

Also free is freebmd for births marriages and deaths.

Does anyone know where to get clothes printed?

Yes,my oh didn't throw me out when he noticed the vintage sewing machine that I have just aquired,one of many cluttering the house.

Try Sheffield Records online,or Sheffield Indexers,give as much info as you can,year of birth,parents names,married name ect. There maybe someone on there who could help. Both sites are free,by the way.

I'm no expert but you could try the land registry office.

When we were kids in the fifties,we hardly saw our Dad in the week as he worked shifts on the coalface. Come Friday evening however,the camping gear was piled into the car and we went to our favourite campsite in Youlgreave. It was just a farmers cow pasture with no amenities except a cold tap in the farmyard,but we loved it as there was a pond to mess about in all day . This occupied most weekends from early spring to late autumn,we were hardy then. I can't remember winter except that there always seemed to be snow to play in. Can you imagine modern kids putting up without all their electrical doodads to occupy them?

String him up with what?

Tis the one at Denby Dale,I bought four wooden fold up garden chairs the other week for £12 each.

Alco,I think I love you,I havn't had such a good laugh in ages.

Well excuse me for getting it wrong,is't there always at least one nit picker having to make clever remarks , as a matter of fact I could tell the shareholders that they don't get any prophet out of me because I stopped using their horrible 'service' about five years ago.

Alco,I can't imagine that your mind is EVER vacant.

The council are forever trying to get us to leave our cars at home and use public transport. Perhaps if they were made to stand for half an hour on East Bank Rd in February with an icy blast coming,uninterupted from Totley moor, they would do something about our appalling bus 'service', we would use it more

Alcobog,I wish that I lived in your mind,it sounds magical.

You can't train a cat to do what he dos'nt want to do, you shout him for dinner he will appear probably when he hears the tin opener. You know what they say,dogs have owners,cats have staff.

We have throws on everything,scratching posts everywhere,coconut mats in front of every door,and guess what, my cats still destroy everything,we call it customising. So my advise is.either resign yourself to the fact that you can't have a posh house AND a cat,or find it a new home,but please don't come to me,I have six cooking fats already. I love them like children really,honest!
