  1. Do you therefore assume that because Jeremy Clarkson allegedly bopped someone that everyone at the BBC is a thug.
  2. Hey that's a nice list. Starts with the Alexandra. Isn't that student flats. Whats the beer like in the cannon these days Get to Liverpool and try the Fly in the Loaf, the Baltic Fleet, The Philharmonic, The Dispensary Ye Cracke, The Grapes, The Roscoe Head, Thomas Rigby's. Loads more proper city centre traditional boozers. Not a list of closed down places and out of town dispensers of Carling. They even have a pub with a listed gents toilet. Sheffield has some great pubs but they are at Kelham Island or at Heeley or Crookes. They aren't in the city center.
  3. I think the BBC has shot itself in the foot here. If I were Clarkson and had offers from Sky, chanel4 and ITV as it seems he has. Then i'd be grabbing one of those as soon as possible. If the BBC does sack him he has less bargaining power with those 3. Therefore the BBC is pushing him into jumping ship by delaying matters. It also seems clear the james may and richard hammond have set there store by sticking with him. So i would expect a series is not far away presented by the Top Gear lads but on a different chanel. Who wouldn't want them on board when it is one of the few programmes on the beeb that makes a proffit. £50million if the reports are to be beleived.
  4. No. The Moor is full of poundshops. There were pubs and restaurants there a few years ago. They closed down and moved elsewhere. if you go to Liverpool for instance the city centre has dozens of pubs, cafes and restaurants. Sheffield is different because someone doesn't want people in the city centre at night.
  5. As someone said earlier. Ecclesall Road and London Road are booming EVERY night. The Moor is a ghost town every night. If the only attraction Sheffield has is a couple of roads full of drunken students it isn't going to attract in folk other than drunken students. If you want to see a lively city centre take a look at Liverpool and weep. That is how to revive a city. Having folk on a forum trying to deny Sheffield's centre is dying is like trying to claim our roads don't have pot holes. ---------- Post added 17-03-2015 at 13:14 ---------- Clearly no point in having a discussion with someone as blinkered as you clearly are.
  6. [quote=Cyclone;10937255 Drink driving. Nice. I believe it is only a problem if the person driving the car has drunk a few. It is far prefereable to getting on the last bus home when most of the other passengers are leggless. You still haven't come up with any solution to reversing the decline in the city centre. I never thought you would. ---------- Post added 17-03-2015 at 11:31 ---------- You shouldn't confuse a few folk who have a lot of time on their hands during the day with a concensus of opinion. The city centre is dead most evenings and in decline during daylight hours. The council's answer is to fill all the empty lots with student accomodation. That says it all. I've not changed my mind about there being nowhere decent to eat and drink. Unlike you I am capable of making a point and moving on. It is just one of many factors that deter me from visiting the city centre.
  7. What a strange world you inhabit. In the real world most cars have 5 seats. But you do make a very good case for avoiding the city centre as well as public transport.
  8. Is it possible that not everyone needs to get hammered in order to have a drink? I think our Friday night was pretty typical of several million folk. A large group of folk met at a pub having driven there in several cars. We had a bite to eat and a few drinks a late night coffee and then went home. Not in the city centre, but a nice suburban pub with a free car park.
  9. You proved nothing other than to yourself. Who takes the car when they want a drink? Judging by the car parks of pubs rather a lot of folk. I certainly do. You don't have to eat in multiple places to need to shift a car. You merely need to be shopping in various locations and eating and or drinking in another. Like popping down to the law courts then buying a jacket on the Moor. Then wondering where the hell you would get a decent pint and a rump steak. Here's a very simple question. Would folk be more likely to drive from Totley to use Da Da Bar if they had to pay £6 to park or if parking was free?
  10. And there was I thinking the idea was to reverse the decline in the city centre.
  11. So what you are saying is that not only do you have to pay to park. It is also necessary to keep moving your car and paying again to take in the various options. I can do that out of town without the engineered traffic chaos or the parking charges. It isn't really an incentive to folks to use the city centre which continues into further decline.
  12. I was in the city centre last weekend for the Continental Market. But I don't go there too often because there is little temptation. The city centre is dying because increasing numbers of folk don't go there anymore. Perhaps the inquisitors would be better served by asking folk who don't go there any more than the sycophants who do. ---------- Post added 16-03-2015 at 23:44 ---------- That's about it.
  13. Pubs on the main shopping stretch. Liverpool, York, Manchester. Chesterfield too if you want local competition. But then I could drive just to Crystal Peaks, park for nothing. Do my shopping in the dry, take a first class coffee and cake in the M&S, complete my banking, even pop into the market, post my letters and have my hair and nails done. All without getting wet. On the way home I could pop into the Inn at Troway and again park for free, have a first class meal with a lovely glass of Jaipur. Or I could go into the centre of Sheffield and pay to park and get wet. If they want to reverse the decine of the city centre they need to entice folks in there. Just telling folk they are wrong isn't going to cut it, but it does seem to be the only strategy I've come across. That and telling motorists they are required to use public transport.
  14. And the pedestrianised bits are under cover. ---------- Post added 16-03-2015 at 19:41 ---------- I thought the problem was that folk went round the ring road and spent there money elsewhere. Didn't anyone tell you the idea is to bring folk into the city centre to spend there money?
