Even nicer and in the same kind of vicinity, Harthill, Todwick, Ulley, maybe Whiston. All good access to the M1.
Have you checked what the commute is like on the motorway to Nottingham though, I've done it before and my assessment would be dreadful.
It's a pretty awkward position you've got there if you both have to be in the office 5 days/week, Bradford and Nottingham, ouch.
Its also a hellish drive to Bradford using both the M1 and M62. Probably better off buying in Leeds and training it to Nottingham!

Not necessarily lazy. Young kids in bed, cant drive, too drunk, disabled, too busy etc etc

Anybody know any history to this old house overlooking Agden reservoir?
You just get a glimpse of it on the hillside through the trees when driving along Mortimer Rd between Strines & Midhopestones.

I'll get some stick for this but the M1 side of the city is not where the areas it sounds like you are looking for are sited. Generally- this has been said many times - if you look at the city on a map, the area between 7&10 o'clock houses the most desirable postcodes- S10,S11,S17 and close to. This is generally seen as where the 'professionals' live. Unfortunately for you, its the opposite side of town for the M1 & getting to & from the M1 at rush hour from the western suburbs isn't much fun, although I did it for a few years and you kind of get used to it.
The areas you have mentioned are OK, but I wouldn't class them as suburbs of Sheffield and it might be pushing it to say they were 'middle class'.

Listed as offers around 200-210 and the owner had an offer of 222k which presumably they hadn't accepted as they were showing you around?? Bluffing I say. What area?

Great news apart from to those losing their jobs.
Lets hope a few more close.
At the end of the day, a new tenant will take the shops and probably create new jobs to replace the ones that were lost

Surely the whole point of sport is that it is competitive? Kids need to learn how to deal with not winning (try harder) and how to win graciously, otherwise when the get out into the world which like it or not is competitive they will not be well equipped to cope.

I don't imagine they do think its recyclable, but the less scrupulous would just hide them in the brown or blue bins to save a trip to the dump

Seriously, what are people like?
To be fair, if you have 2 children in nappies generating say 70 nappies a week - takes up a lot of space in the black bin- especially if you miss the fortnightly bin collection and have a months worth stored up! pooooooo

The label asks to "check local recycling" as regards the top.
Have done, with (in my case) the Chesterfield authorities advising that the tops are not able to be recycled, and so are thrown in the ordinary bin.
I bet firing your boiler up to do this negates any environmental benefit of recycling the bottle!

Standard practice to protect their own interests. Its to be expected.

There are no 2+ bed houses or flats suitable/available??

Imagine the environmental cost of putting Glastonbury (or any big festival) on..
All the infrastructure shipped to the site for 3 days, then shipped back
200,000 people driving to the site and back
1000's of acts jetting in from all around the world for a one hour set.
All for a bit of hedonistic entertainment for us selfish humans...
It would be interesting to know the carbon emissions one Glastonbury Festival creates...
Amazing festival though!

It sounds like Bolton/Pompeo convinced him he should launch a strike and calmer heads pointed out it was actually a really stupid idea and got him to stop it at the last moment.
Whether the whole thing was planned or not I think this is good tactics on Trumps part. It would certainly have got Irans leader sweating more than just a threat of possible action, and Trump comes out of it looking like he cares about Iranian lives. Irans leader needs to be overthrown by the people of Iran who I gather arent happy with the regime mainly because it is responsible for the sanctions that is causing mass hardship to the people. The everyday Iranian would give up the nuclear program tomorrow to get back to enjoying a good standard of living.

My mum always says that only people with a limited vocabulary swear. There will be the odd exception to every rule though I suppose

Yes obviously they were behind the media campaign, but the media didnt just act as a channel for paid promotion (ads etc), and how did he get a slot on prime time BBC? I didnt think you could buy BBC airtime?

Cant educate thickos with a speed limit sign. I was always taught not to drive at such a speed where you wouldnt be able to stop in the space of the clear road ahead of you. On a bend the amount of clear road reduces- one reason any half decent drives slows down for a corner.
The car embedded in the bushes the other day was a BMW. Need I say more 🤐

I think the media sometimes try to persuade us something is popular (or otherwise) in order to try to make it popular (or otherwise). I suppose that is promotion disguised as news- misrepresenting the interests of everyday people.
I remember when One Direction split up we were bombarded with news of how Harry Styles was the next Robbie Williams. He even somehow got a heavily promoted one hour slot on the BBC at prime time despite having only released a couple of unmemorable songs. In this case the public didn't buy it and the media must have eventually realised it was flogging a dead horse. News of Harry suddenly all but disappeared.
Sometimes it seems a case of getting so called celebrities forced down our throats until we actually begin to think they are celebrities that we just hadnt realised were celebrities.

1 minute ago, Top Cats Hat said:You get what you pay for with a wooden shed (although it sounds like you have neglected yours 😉)
They do need to be looked after. I paint mine with Wickes own shed and fence paint every two years, replaced the crap shed felt with real roofing felt and it stands on bricks so doesn’t sit in water during the rainy season.
It is now 21 years old and looks like new, 😀
Yea I inherited this one when I bought the house. Going by the 'improvements' the previous owners did to the house, the shed is bound to be a bargain basement job.
Which is why I want a metal shed. I don't have the time or inclination to be faffing around painting a shed every couple of years! 😉
-
Most online shed suppliers provide an installation service on delivery as an optional extra.
I'm looking for a metal shed. They last forever (well some come with 20yr guarantee) and some look quite nice. My 4 or 5 year old wooden shed has plants growing through the slats, the roof already leaks, is rotten and is ready for the skip.

the attacks on the tankers is "almost certainly" Iran, oh ok Jeremy thats good enough evidence to warrant an invasion on a sovereign country and years of yet another expensive war, lots of our own soldiers deaths, massacring of thousands of civillians, and terrorists back on our streets.

He claims he's a Sheffielder but pronounces Tongue, as TUNGUE , that's by the way, but he's full of sexual innuendos, anyone else would be told about it.
I agree he comes across as an old perv! Often talks about 'boobs' and sounds leery over female guests/colleagues
Advice - Relocating To Sheffield

Of course it wont. Prices might be higher though.
As Sheffield has twice the population of Derby, although the average wage is lower, there will be more people earning above the average wage than in Derby- probably the reason for the (alleged) higher house prices in the better areas.
