I've never been unable to get a seat but I suppose if you are paying for the redesign and extra staff to be seating Nazis let's go.

The cafe seating is not a design it is a hopeless mess.

Why shouldn't people use the cafe area for group meets? How is that any different than using a pub or an individual cafe? Are you suggesting they should hold the moor market cafe to a higher standard than anywhere else?

 

You would only alienate even more people from the market if you start kicking people out for staying too long or not buying anything.

So would you like to comment on the customer who wishes to use the cafe area to dine , looks around, finds all the space taken by non users , then decides to go else where.

The cafe should have their own designated areas,.

I have visited the new Market today and to be honest it is a joke.

The cafe area [although rammed]is a joke with people sat around using it as a public meeting area,.

There seems to be groups of regulars who pull tables together so as to create their own little clubs ,these clubs are often without any noticeable food intake or drinks..

Some of the tables have a cup of well drunk tea customer who seems to spend hours taking up space while spending nothing whatsoever.

The customer who wishes to dine and spend looks around and decides it is a waste of time and goes else where.

The cafes should have their own areas so as to get rid off the people who are useing the Market as a social club.

The butchers are doing great business if you can actually get to them as the walkway to their frontage is jammed ,this is due to the designers placing the stalls to near to the opposite [often unused ] stalls.

The empty units seem to be growing by the day and are a turn off to the casual observer .

The BBC apparently thinks it deserves number one spot on their news bulletins.

Never mind what happening in the real world.

The junior doctors strike and the governments stance was way down the list.

As is the third World war looming in the middle East.

Whats the best cream for treating sadle sore, Ive tried savlon , but it just dries up and leaves me with chapps

Fiary Jack, You will climb Blake Street in ten seconds flat:hihi:

There was a young barmaid there whose parents had the Prince of Wales on Division Street

I think that the Prince is now called the Parrot and Frog . I remember when it had a glass panel in the bar room floor the lads used to beg the landlord to go and change the barrels for him:hihi:

The old Land lord was a guy called les.

I have been told that a delegation from Sheffield Wednesday F.C. have recently given the site a look over.

Its reached the depths this morning with Chairman Foster being egged on by a load of loons .

The high point so far is how much to spend on Valentine day.

where's the dog lead.

We must get out before Germany starts the campaign to get the Turks in ,That will be the end of Europe any way.

Great post!

 

One of our locals, the Carleton never advertised in the Star.

 

We knew what was playing by word of mouth.

The Carlton on the Arbourthorne was known as little Chicago as it usually showed gangster films staring Edward G Robinson, Humphrey Bogart or Spencer Tracy .

Well you've surpassed yourself this time Zakes mate, you've obviously got too much spare time on your hands!!. My Aunt/Uncle/Cousin used to live in the house to the right of the gap you're describing. The grassed area was where I used to play (with Anita Davies, Kath Elshaw etc). The land has shire brook running down it (which I assume you're already aware of from your anecdote) and I assume it was left like this to denote the old boundary between Derbyshire & Yorkshire. I spent many hours in that stream as a kid (and in the grass when it was long as well!). Not sure if its still like that as I moved away from Sheff donkeys years ago. Happy days.

I always thought the boundary was just across the road from the Red Lion at Town End .Town End is the clue.

Go to Spire at Chesterfield no rip of prices .pay on the day and if you ampt got it tell them before hand they will come to some compromise .

The animal comes first as was the case when Mctagatt had his surgery on London Road.

Perhaps we can start a new religion ,first of all we need a new prophet who preaches love and tolerance to all [inc those who do not believe] perhaps the late John Lennon or even Terry Wogan would do ,we can make up miracles and other dogooder things about them as we write the new scriptures [start date 1964 ish].

We can build new places of worship that will incorporate free love to all along with the provision that all meetings will be attended without clothes [both sexes].

The new buildings will not have steeples or minarets so as to say look at me aren't I grand ,but pub type signs that depict a verse or two from Dylan Thomas or Tommy Cooper [so as no one knows what the hell, oops!! they are on about] same as the bible and the Koran today .

We could start this religion tomorrow on the Town Hall steps where we can choose new disciples to write the new scriptures .

Hope this dun't sound daft .

I have had mine since 1974 and never won a carrot ,I s[pent £75 and it was them or a Cortina ,should have bought the Cortina.

I have just got in from golf, sat down with G@T ,turned on the goggle box and there it is again.

Another soap with a lady giving birth complete with screams, shouts , moans and the local busy body holding her hand while looking for the arrival of the arrival in graphic detail .

This is a daily occurrence from Emmerdale to Coronation St when it seems as though the whole cast joins in to welcome the new comer with no detail spared to the unsuspecting viewer.

I mean it can,t be that hard can it!. its happening every second all around the World , in the time I have typed this there are probably enough baby's born to fill all the empty stalls on the Moor Market ten times over.

And why all the screaming and shouting ,its enough for us lads to have to hear all about it for the next ten.twenty or thirty years without having to put up with all the historic s involved .

A day on the furnaces at the English Steel Corporation or down the pit with a pick and shovel now that would make ones eyes water would it not and without the sound effects.

I think many people on here get some perverse pleasure out of things failing, I've never understood it either.

Just take a look at the P.D.S.A posts in the pets section you may then see some perverse pleasure.

Is it possible to install Windows 10 on a older Apple Mac please.

Rubbish. I walk past the Archer Project HQ almost every day and never had any bother from any of the ladies or gents. They can be rowdy but don't trouble anyone.

Agree, I also think that they could teach a lot of folk on how to love and share with each other.

The Milton on Milton Street ,any one got a photo of the pub please.

Cycling is forbidden in all Sheffield parks by virtue of a byelaw, updated in 1966 and 1971 to ban jetex style model planes (remember them?) but actually based on a much older byelaw.

 

 

Found this on the council web site

 

https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/out--about/parks-woodlands--countryside/all-about-us/byelaws.html

 

I’m told its simply too much hassle and expense to remove the byelaw to allow legal cycling, although I seem to remember the ConDem collation were trying to make this process easier. The council now turn a blind eye to safe cycling in parks.

 

The route through Bingham park is different as it was created with a TRO (traffic regulation order) and is part of the Peak District anniversary route, supposedly a gold standard route (really?) from Sheffield Station to Hope Valley.

 

A TRO was to be issued for the Meersbrook park route back when the council was Lib Dem (I think) but I it never happened.

In the 1960's I along with a couple of hundred more used to enter cycle road racing events in Norfolk Park so the bylaw was not enforced at that time.

The P.D.S.A Should be appealing to press to help.

It seems as though people have stopped giving that is why I posted this on the Sheffield discussions thread as it would have reached more posters on the forum ., perhaps the mods will rethink and return it to that section.

As to the press they are more interested in immigration and its problems ,animal welfare is way down the list.

Problem with the PDSA is it's being abused it's full of council estate chavs with their staffy's

 

They don't work a day in their lives and then expect someone else to pay when their dog falls ill as well.

It is the animals that people care about and not who owns them, or whatever back ground they may come from.

Because some one lives on a council estate does not mean that they are inferior to you or any one else for that matter .

I posted this in Sheffield discussions so as Sheffield people would be able to see just how desperate the situation is at the P.D.S.A.

Now that it has been moved to this section it is pretty pointless.

I was talking to a member of staff at the Sheffield P.D.S.A [People dispensary for sick animals] and was informed that the society has lost over 12 million pounds in donations over the last 12 months.

This means that the charity faces closure if that trend continues .

So come on Sheffielders start giving ,donating or leaving your estate to this wonderful charity as without it many animals will end up sick and uncared for or put down.

Maybe some of the multi millionaires in pop music ,royalty ,and other privileged positions will also donate a million or two [we can live in hope:rolleyes:.

You can ride the tram to near the top of Fitzwilliam Street and if your legs haven't lost the ability to walk, it's no more than five minutes to Moorfoot.

And going back with two bags, two kids ,a pram and gammy leg:mad:

I did, went in the day once, it was dead, also been a few times in the evening was pretty similar to a night out in Rotherham, take what you want from that.

Chesterfield is convenient for people in south Sheffield, the city centre is convenient for the whole city, (the clue is in the name).

 

The tram is within 500m of the Moor. 400m is acceptable recommended walking distance, its not exactly miles out is it.

Where about is that tram stop please.
