ROK 57A isn't a number plate that seems to exist.

 

So you probably saw 'Cheeky Monkey'

I only said it resembled that

So a few weeks ago I'm driving through High Green when coming towards me comes a white Ferrari with a number plate resembling ROK 57A (ROK STAR) putting 2+2 together I came to the conclusion it was one of the Arctic Monkeys but does anyone know which monkey I almost saw?

Not sure it was that as this was in the early hours

Thank you. I have also been told by somebody that knows the current owner and its reported to be haunted with some very perculiar activities happening in there if you believe in that kind of thing.

Did anybody else hear the gunshots in the midlle of the night (1st -2nd July 16)

Sounded like it was from the Foxhill area, 2 shots in quick succession about 4 times.

This one

Just curious what the local mood is.

Does anyone know the story behind this building?

Its back up for sale again for £425k and im sure it was for sale 6 months ago for over £625k. It looks amazing inside but the huge price drop makes me curious.

Is it haunted perhaps?

Apparently its common knowledge who is doing it but nobody there is brave enough to speak out

Yes but motorists frequently find themselves in the wrong lane and have to change, I don't see why moving lanes there would be considered illegal in the eyes of the law as long as the maneuvre is performed safely.

I'm not sure why you are concerned about somebody colliding with you along that stretch of road. Have you had or seen any near misses?

Had one today as it happens

Not really if you know how to drive

Why would someone go into the right of you? If memory serves aren't there 2 lanes, the late "left turner" on Derek Dooley way would be joining the outside lane of Savile Street?

As far as im aware theres no such thing as a late left turner lane, if you turn left there and hit me its your fault

If memory serves the middle lane has a straight ahead arrow painted on it by the left turn so no but many do.

That right, the "middle lane" has an arrow painted on the floor straight forward. Surely just the left lane is for heading up towards attercliffe?

I always go in the left lane then keep right as it bears left left but often wondered whose to blame if someone goes into the right hand side of me.

I searched but couldnt find another thread on this, my apologies if there is one.

My opinion is that on the side heading out of town towards the sheffield parkway if i wanted to turn left towards attercliffe i should get in the left lane. I couldnt stay in the now middle lane and then turn left nearer to the motorbike shop like many i see doing could i??

Just seen it driven very quickly and very badly around the Wooley Wood School area. I dont think id want it back after seeing it being driven like that.

Thank you

I did wonder !

No this was much heavier work than road works

I was awake in the early hours of last night and could hear loud industrial type banging some distance away. Intermittant bangs about 2 seconds apart then quiet for a while then again and so on....

Im in Grenoside and i know noise at night can carry far and wondered if anybody knows what it is?

Keep an eye out for this Yamaha grizzly quad (now found in Longley)

Still outstanding are a Yamaha TTR 125 and An aluminium Santacruz Nomad downhill mountain bike in white, stolen around 4.30 am this morning from his house in Grenosde

Thanks

E 220 d AMG Line

E class AMG PCP £400/month

Deposit £6500

That's over 3 years. Doesn't state mileage, but I assume 10k/annum.

 

Purchase 1 year old 250 AMG or 300 AMG, autotrader price £25k

3 years later - sale price (based on 4 year old today) £12k (could argue about this I expect).

Cost of borrowing the 25k on a 3 year personal loan is a total of £27,585

So, cost to own it outright for 3 years, £15.5k

 

Cost to lease it for 3 years £14400 and £6500, >£20k...

 

Leasing probably includes a few things like servicing that private ownership doesn't. But there's a 4.5k difference in favour of owning that I can see... So unless the service cost is very high I can't see how it wins...

So the monthly cost is £10 more. But you're not working out the total cost are you.

With the purchased car, at some point you own it outright and it has residual value. With a leased car that is never the vase.

No MOT would apply for 2 years to a 1 year old car... As would manufacturers warranty. RAC is a legitimate cost to include in the comparison, and servicing and insurance anything else...

 

Maybe you got a great deal, I've just never been able to make it add up when I've looked.

I got a very good deal. £900 deposit then 24 x £309.00

Id never ever buy my own new car again. Always lease.

I got an E class AMG Line for less than £300 a month 24 month contract. Mercedes Sheffiedl couldnt get near that price.

Looking forward to getting next years Porsche

Remedy234,

 

Am I right in assuming that part of PAT Testing includes a "Flash Test" ?.

The reason I ask is the following. When I taught C+G 236 Part 3 ; I had to deliver

some lesson on Overvoltage Transients -and the effect on electrical equipment and circuit breakers, and how "solid earthing" helped reduce the detrimental effects of transients.

Are such consideration outside of the parameters of ordinary PAT Testing ?

If my memory serves me correctly (without reaching for my old lecture notes ) transients

can be a real source of danger and damage to electrical equipment.

I do recall having to gen up on MICC and how transients actually punctured the copper

sheathing ,and broke down the insulation and caused short circuits and earth faults.

Hi No the flash test hasnt been in the Code of Practice for some years now. For sensitive items such as IT equipment a 200mAmp test is usually used.

PAT Testing is a recognised way to show that you are complying with the electricity at works regulations. People will alway bleat on about

"license to print money" etc until they get an electric shock or something catches fire.

I used to PAT Test and you would be suprised how many itmes do fail the test but look perfectly fine.

Thank you.

I want to buy it.

I know its not really sheffield as its an SK postcode but i wondered if anybody knew anything about the large boarded up house next to the lake near Chapel en le Frith and Sparrowpit?

Its been like it for a while now.
