So on the hottest day of the year, the heater was on full blast on the bus today!! Apparently they have to left on to keep the engines running:huh:

If the bus engine has an overheating problem having the heater switched on it helps the engine stay cool. The reason of this is because the cabin heater is using the engine high temperature to warm the air it sends in the cabin thus engine temperature drops due to the heat exchange.

Hi all.

 

Received something from ebay and I'm trying to return a parcel back to the seller. He said to cross out my name and address, and then to put his details in that place, saying 'return to sender'.

 

Done that, took it to post office, and they said they need a pre-paid return label on it. I said seller's willing to pay for returns postage and he said sorry, it's not going to go anywhere.

 

Is that right?

 

Thanks.

What the seller suggested is illegal. Speak to eBay and get the seller/ebay to send you a prepaid return label to send the parcel back to the seller at his own expence

+1 for Rick at Hawleys

There is a thread about this but it is 7 years old, been looking at going for a holiday but the big companies don't go there, has anyone been and what was it like?

The place is very beautiful and due to lack of funding by Turkey is still in it’s original natural form since early 70’s. The development of the North part of Cyprus is quite slow thus food, stuff and hotels are a lot cheaper. People are a bit undeveloped too compared to South but the place is really nice.

On a side note, Flight companies don’t fly there because the Northern part of Cyprus is illegally under Turkish control since 1974 (Turkey invated and occupied part of the island). Due to this no other countries recognise this part of the island as a legal land and thus it is illlegal to fly directly to that part of the island under human rights law. That’s why to get there you have to go through Turkey as is the only country (plus 1-2 more, friends of turkey who don’t mind not complying with human law) who recognises that part. Another option is to fly to South Cyprus and then cross the border to the North of the island if you want by showing your passport on the border.

Maybe the Greek Orthodox date for Bonfire Night?

That will be easter time.

They haven't been up much over a week, so if they are indeed speed cameras the first people to get done by them might not even have received a PCN yet.

I find it difficult to believe that the two camera points are between leisure centre and Shalesmoor circle. There at least 8-9 locations for people to drive off Penistone Road in between the two cameras.

Either ANPR cameras (two on the same stretch?) or just traffic flow control.

Some more are located further down at the Shalesmoor roundabout. I had a good look at them today while at the lights and they do look exactly the same as the SpeedSpike speed cameras.

 

It would not suprise me as that stretch is all 30mph and unless its in rush hours traffic pretty much everyone goes at least 40mph.

Them cameras cannot be for speed then.

If everybody is doing +40mph on that stretch then they will be on here moaning that they got a speed ticket etc.

Very curious to find out what they are as i use that road every day...

I think he would insist that he needs a look, that would be classed as an examination.

I go every 6 months , 5 mins it takes him £20 40p rip of I'm afraid.

You can ask them to extend the appointments to once every 12months if your teeth seem alright. You might even be able to extend it to 24 months but iam not sure on this.

... and your reason for just copying some news (days after the nationals) is?

up for discussion, obviously you do not realise the full extend of this, eventually you will understand.

CAA is working bringing all the people back to UK:

Hi, can anyone tell me if there are enforced cctv cameras on Duke Street? I accidentally went through the sign for taxis/buses etc. Doesn't seem to be a camera?

TIA

According to the council map: https://maps.sheffield.gov.uk/LocalViewExt/Sites/BusTramGates/

the camera on Duke Street is not enforced.

maybe is the Tramlines event from the Ponderosa park

Just passed through our garden on their way to who knows where!

Thanks for letting me know. I will keep an eye on them

No sign of any fire now. Can see that location from our landing window.

it was 1 hour ago fires don't usually last too long, especially if there is nothing up there left to burn

It looks like ski village is on fire again...

Hi today I had the fun of driving to Sheffield on my motorbike and sidecar, the time I'd finished going in and out of the pot holes thought I was going to be seasick. Anyway back to the taxi lane, went through Hiilsborough corner and up Langsett Road towards town what fun that was can't say. Got on to Infirmary Road trying avoid tram tracks and ended up going through taxi only route on to Penistone Road. Does anyone know how much the fine is for this serious crime.

Thanks

Al

Don't quote me on this but i believe there is no camera installed on that area for the taxi/bus only lane.

At the moment the council map that shows all the cameras is down but here is the link https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/home/travel-transport/bus-lanes-gates or https://maps.sheffield.gov.uk/LocalViewExt/Sites/BusTramGates/ if you want to check later on.

From personal experience, when you buy a house the previous owner is responsible to remove all the furniture etc before contract exchange unless stated on the contract.

Everything else that's left in the house belongs to you. You and the previous owner you should not exchange contracts if there are any outstanding actions.

In your case, if the previous owner put his signature to exchange contracts, he actually signed for you to own everything inside and outside the property. From the contracts exchange day, everything belongs to you.

The helicopter has been flying over the city centre for over 2 hours now.

 

There isnt any football today.

 

Any ideas?

It was flying stationary for a while above Weston Park

It might be coming from your AC pipework behind passenger's drawer (If you car has AC).

Hello

 

Just wondered if anyone could help?

 

Does anyone know if there are plans to expand the tram lines from Hillsborough to stocksbridge by going through middlewood rd north then up on to Manchester road ? Just with all the house building going on I guess that this may be a future development ?

 

Thanks

I personally cannot see this happening soon. There is a regular tramlink bus between Stocksbridge and Hillsborough. I just cannot see how they will justify the cost of a tramline between the two areas.

I sold an item for less than £20 (cash on collection only) on 21st Sept. to a buyer just outside Sheffield and he arranged to pick up following w/end but didn't turn up. Have sent several messages but no response.

 

Yesterday I opened an "unpaid item" case in order to secure a fee refund.

Today buyer paid by Paypal hence the case automatically closed.

I sent message saying he can withdraw from deal and I'll give him money back, although at this stage that might be awkward.

No response so far. All comms through ebay.

 

I think he found that I live further away than he thought.

 

Any ideas on the next move, anybody?

Keep the money, keep the goods. If the buyer doesn't collect in 45 days he will not be able to claim his money back and not be able to leave feedback.

Eventually he will realise this and he will turn up before them 45 days end.

any shops close to sheffield 5

 

where is the cheapest place to unlock a iphone 5

think currently on orange ee network

If you own the contract then EE will unlock it for £8.99 otherwise around £20 on eBay.

Any shop you go they will follow the same process through EE anyway plus their commission.

I lived in the area for 12 years and very rarely saw trouble.

I don't think so that an area changes when a crime happens. I cannot see how police or anybody else can have the control of what happens inside peoples houses.

There seems to be quite a bit of crime in Walkley these days. I certainly wouldn't want to be anywhere near Ruskin Park at night.

What makes you saying this?

Lol I thought the same about eBay I messaged a guy asking if there really worth that much and he said I'm no coin expert ..but there selling them on Gumtree and preloaded too so it makes you wonder if they are worth more than 2 quid

I believe they are just trying to build fake interest...
