  1. Sounds like Aston, Swallownest, Waverley, Sothall, Beighton etc would make the most sense
  2. Judging by the number of 'Attic rooms for storage' which are clearly used as bedrooms in Estate Agents descriptions, it seems to be a way of getting it done while bypassing all the building regs.
  3. Better off somewhere like Owlthorpe, Beighton, Sothall All on the Tram network and what i would consider 'nice' areas Plus you're close to Crystal Peaks / Drakehouse for shopping etc
  4. More staff than customers in the Drakehouse store, shouldn't come as a surprise really
  5. Will make no difference, especially at this time of year.
  6. In the short term, I reckon they should demolish it and have it as a large open paved area. It sits in the middle (literally) of most of the Heart of the city projects, and lets be honest - I doubt they find any retail use for that building.
  7. Currys are normally pretty good on resolving issues with Ebay purchases Clearly they've made a **** up, i'm sure they'll send you a replacement without too much hassle
  8. Finally someone has seen sense. Never understood why they didn't include that link road in the first place, will make a massive difference,
  9. I find it hard to fathom the changes to the West Bar roundabout. The traffic has always been mad coming down Tenter street and feeding on to the roundabout. It's always been the case that this roundabout in particular, is dangerous for cyclists to cross, not helped by idiots using the left turn lane to go straight across and down Corporation street. My desk used to look over the roundabout, and I've seen countless incidents of cyclists being hit by cars when trying to cross it. Do the council really think their 'Dutch Style' plan is going to help the situation where the roundabout is always (more or less) a free for all. If they really want to change that roundabout, how about making it one lane coming up to the roundabout and two lanes going across it from Tenter street.
  10. I assume the new limit is also for air quality reasons. They're about to build yet more houses on the field next to Morrisons, not sure i'd enjoy living in a house that backs directly onto the Parkway!
  11. I live there, no issues, IMO a good area. But like everywhere, some parts are nicer than others
  12. Rather they spent the ££££££ they intend to throw at this at something useful, like a tram up to the Hallamshire
  13. The whole scheme is an embarrassment, it's not solving anything. How will that improve traffic heading up the A628 through Hollingworth or Tintwistle. If they can't do it right first time, why even bother doing it at all
  14. They can loiter for hours, whereas the helicopter had to go and refuel regularly. Good to see a police presence back in the sky. Since SYP did away with their helicopter, I've hardly seen once since
  15. You're lucky they spotted it at this stage - My solicitor discovered a similar issue after we had completed ! I owned the front half of the house and the bottom half of the garden - but nothing in between. All was sorted after about 18 months, with the crown and LR deciding amongst themselves that i could have full title (rather than the adverse possession that looked likely)
  16. Park Drive is fine, only a few not so nice parts and they're not around there
  17. Or perhaps those people sitting in their cars arrived early for an appointment, for exactly the reason you're unhappy about. If i have to go to the Hallamshire or Northern, i give myself 90 mins extra factoring in parking problems. If i get lucky and find a space straight away, i'd be sat in my car as well.
  18. Unfortunately the garage walls form the property line on two sides. If I went for a pitched roof, parts of it would be overhanging their land!
  19. So, there seems to be 3 different roofing options that people talk about these daysFibreglassRubber (EPDM)Mineral feltSo what's the best way to go for a 40m^2 flat roof? I'd have preferred to replace it entirely with a pitched roof, but due to my garages proximity to the boundary that's not an option.I'm assuming that half of the boards will need replacing as well, thanks to the persistent leak that i can't stop no matter how many different repair liquids i put up there!Anyone had their roof replaced recently, so i can get an idea of cost and options?
  20. Found a GTX960 for not a lot of money. Benchmarks suggest it's similar in performance to a 1050ti - time will tell Thanks for the input!
  21. Was hoping for something with slightly more grunt like a 1050ti or a GTX 970 Probably delusional though to expect to find them for < £100 !
  22. Thought i'd put this out there I'm well out of touch with PC components these days, but what's the current thinking on sub £100 GPU's? Building a replacement machine for my son, and he likes to do mild gaming on it (Fortnite) - but by the looks of it (and presumably thanks to bitcoin mining), prices on even older cards seem to be stupid! Was expecting to find to find something like a 1050ti for less than a hundred quid - seems i was deluded! Thoughts?
  23. More likely means that nobody is prepared to lend a mortgage on it - is it of non standard construction ?
  24. I've seen a few (in various states of disassembly) advertised for sale on Facebook! And there was at least one on the back of a scrap wagon i spotted the other day.
