As a pedestrian, it's really helpful - a crossing further up Crookes Rd near Crookesmoor Rd would also be useful. As a driver I've not tried accessing it coming from town since the new junction was put in, but I've accessed it from Fulwood way and it seemed fine.

My friend is in the Bach choir, they do one every year: http://sheffieldbachchoir.wordpress.com/65th-season-concerts/

Having seen today's entertainment news, I'm wondering if it might have been Ben. Nick Cotton would be a possibility given he's clearly not dead. But I think the focus on male characters may be a red herring and it could be a female character - Lauren or Whitney maybe?

Fusion cafe does a lot of gluten and dairy free options. Some chains also do OK - my friend who is both gluten and dairy free finds Pizza Express will cater to her needs.

Plus the delivery is quite steep so it can be a bit annoying (although my car is titchy so I have to have furniture delivered anyway). I do think we'd be in trouble if we ever did get an IKEA here, though. I mean, the Star relies on rumourmongering about IKEA for its front page several times a year. They're going to need something new to write about

Late to this thread, but sorry to hear of this - one of the first forummers I ever met and a genuinely great bloke who was a massive boost to this forum and city. RIP redrobbo.

It's generally a nice area, good schools AFAIK if you need that sort of thing, nice local shops, convenient location - I lived there as a student and would love to live there again.

I was about to post the same. Gutted - I love Williamsons. I don't especially object to a Sainsbury's in Broomhill, but I do object to them forcing out a long-established and very useful local shop in order to have a presence there - not least as the Spar is no doubt bound to close after a while of Sainsbury's trading, which will mean a significantly larger empty shop unit for no good reason.

There's also Girl Who Ate the World: http://girlwhoatetheworld.blogspot.co.uk/

Those laws seem to apply to every company except Sainsbury's and Tesco - possibly because they have 'Local', 'Extra' etc shops which might all be seen as 'different' to get round it.

Sainsbury's are getting as bad as Tesco - they have units in Crookes, on West Street, near Weston Park and now one at the university all within walking distance of Broomhill shops, they can't possibly need another one. The Spar and the 24-hour minimarket are more than enough for mini-supermarket type stores in Broomhill, and Williamson's is a wonderful shop which has served me well on many occasions. Why Sainsbury's don't just bid to take over the Spar if they're that desperate to move in I don't know.

Of course there are. One of my best friends has had three long-term relationships as an adult - a man for a couple of years, a woman for four-five years and is currently with a man she's been seeing for around six years. She's not at all flirty or promiscuous - she just fell in love with all of them for their personality and that went beyond the person's gender - and age in fact - her current partner is about eighteen years older, the other two were the same age as us.

They always have several gluten free cakes on offer, as well as gluten free meals. They're mainly open just in daytimes but have been trialling evening opening recently and I think they're hoping to make that a regular thing.
