If anybody can help please call 07780864759 Many thanks James

Should diesel vehicles be banned from the city centre?
JIMMY8008 replied to Bigthumb's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Where is the £3.50 or £4.50 parking signs? I have had a look on the NCP website - Wellington Street does look quite cheap I didn't know about this one, will give it a go next time. Why is this so cheap and Q park so expensive? Also I think Doncaster is well equal to what Sheffield has to offer. You certainly can not compare Manchester and Sheffield different league all together but yep I pay £5 to park there!! ---------- Post added 18-04-2017 at 22:25 ---------- Which are the inner ring road car parks that are £2 per day? ---------- Post added 18-04-2017 at 22:31 ---------- Infuriates you!! :-) Apologies for having an opinion lol I didn't know about the Wellington Street car park prices, which brings me on to another issue if Sheffield has all this what appears to be competitively priced parking - Why doesn't Sheffield Council use some BID Money and advertise it??? Then they may get more visitors like me in to Sheffield a lot more regularly!! -
Have you been to Sheffield Costco?
JIMMY8008 replied to MARY POPPINS's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
The last time I went in to Costco they only accepted Cash or Debit Cards which I always found rather strange when such large transactions were taking place. Debit Card fees are now being charged as a percentage the same as Credit Cards, so with the massive turnover of Costco they should get very good rates on both payment methods. -

Parking £3 all day in Doncaster 20 mins from my house same time in to Sheffield, Meadowhall Free, Barnsley £2 4 hours, Rotherham Free 2 Hours, Manchester £5 all day. Sheffield £7.50 to £20.00 per day - Why so much? I admit I could park free on Effingham Road if I want all the windows smashed!!! Some minor roads have and side streets have improved - but they randomly missed side streets and have a long long way to go with main roads round here. Have you tried driving Deerlands Avenue, Yew Lane or Wordsworth Avenue recently? -
Sometime back the self service till at Asda Chaucer short changed me £2! The assistant said oh it happens all the time it will have run out of change! Then left the till open for the next customer, without refilling the change and went off doing something else.

If Sheffield starts charging for my (not that old) diesel car I won't be visiting again. In fact i'm wrong!!! charge £30 per day for all cars then I won't have to put up with the pain in the back side that driving in Sheffield really is - constant stop start driving, traffic lights turn red as soon as they see motion, roads are in terrible condition and not improving, parking charges are extortionate and the much reduced public transport system is shocking and again expensive!! If Sheffield starts charging the City Center as we know or like it will go bankrupt. -
Hello I'm building quite a long fence up the garden and will need between 75 & 150 19mm x 100mm x 1800mm treated rough sawn fence lats. Although I am looking for a good price I do want wood that will last and look good. Can anybody recommend a good timber merchants or supplier to use? Any advice appreciated. Many Thanks J

Wentworth Garden Centre - dog attack 28/02
JIMMY8008 replied to Victoria1867's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I was there too on Sunday, it was one hell of an attack. I did see the dog that was attacked afterwards on our way out, it had quite a large neck wound with just flesh showing, but it seamed ok was on a lead and walking, definitely needed to see a vet for the wound. The other dog looked to be some sort of Staffy. I think the owner had a kid in a pram too. Very scary if the dog can snap just like that for no reason. J -
Article in the Star saying bus drivers may go on strike over pay!! http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/outraged-south-yorkshire-bus-drivers-in-strike-threat-1-7166010 First must be raking the money in at the moment - they were mega efficient in putting fares up as the cost of fuel went up but since the fuel price dropped a few months ago it has been mega quiet. I have not seen many price cuts!!!!!!

Crystal Peaks - A parking nightmare
JIMMY8008 replied to sedith's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Mosborough Parkway should have been dual carriageway throughout from day one and later through Renishaw to the M1, the council must have had an idea how many houses they may build and the types! most of these houses in the Townships can accommodate 1 if not 2 or more cars! -

I would have said Grahams Tyres or Hawleys but they are closed today, maybe only National Tyres or Kwik fit open today!

JIMMY8008 replied to sedith's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Crystal Peaks now have some of the biggest retail names in the country, it is no longer the community shopping center it used to be when it opened, people will travel from much further to visit, not providing parking is a massive massive failure. & regarding the tram been nearby - not an option if you intend doing the weekly shop at Sainsburys! -
Matrix message on parkway tonight
JIMMY8008 replied to WasThatWise's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
This Council needs a right kick up the back side!!!!! so incompetent it's unreal. Wait until you all receive your new Council Tax bills in the next week or so! Your in for a surprise. but at least you can see where some of the savings have been re spent or at least if you drive on the Parkway!!! -
Crystal Peaks - A parking nightmare
JIMMY8008 replied to sedith's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I made the decision never to go back there 3 years ago, I got totally stuck in gridlock for well over an hour, I complained to the shopping center as it was down to bad organisation with no marshaling. I never received any sort of reply. Terrible place if your driving even trying to drive past it! They must lose millions in lost revenue just because people can't get in!!! J -
2 Tesco stores in Sheffield closing
JIMMY8008 replied to Zinger549's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Shame to hear the Woodseats one is closing I used to go in there 30 year ago, it's been there forever. I suppose it's progress hope the staff all find other jobs quickly. Also Tesco has brought this on itself with the difference in pricing between Metro, Express & Extra. Asda wins everytime. -
