  1. I live pretty close to the border and regularly go outdoors in Derbyshire, don't even give it a second thought. It was handy before when Derbyshire was tier 2 and you could go for a pint without having to buy a meal.
  2. Most pavements aren't wide enough to keep 2m apart.
  3. It's hardly the narrowest of pavements. You could turn that argument on its head and say any pedestrians who can't navigate the path without getting too close to each other should get an appointment at specsavers.
  4. Not enough to warrant taking 2 yards of a busy road away no.
  5. To give more room on the pavement to pedestrians . In answer to your first question, I think they're ridiculous.
  6. Well I don't know for certain it could mean nothing but would suggest it's serious if they're still examining the scene.
  7. I've just been past and police are still blocking it off, it's at the top about 50 yards from the Redmires road junction. Heard a lot of sirens going past at around 3 o'clock so a few hours ago now. Caught a glimpse of officers in white overalls around the crashed car, which doesn't look good.
  8. Apparently a pub in Hunter's Bar, which I won't name, was asked to close by police that night. They didn't give a reason. If this was the reason why, then frankly I think it's apalling that a private event should lead to establishments having to close early, never mind those on the other side of the city.
  9. It will be a devastating blow to Sheffield if pf never reopens. There aint many places in the country who can boast of having an Olympic sized pool and attracting top athletes.
  10. I can't say I'd ever heard of this man who was apparently our "king" but going by the star you'd think he was known to half the city. Delusional comes to mind. I find it a bit disturbing that police feel the need to ask pubs to close because of a private funeral, especially when it includes pubs on the other side of the city.
  11. Went past several pubs that were closed well before 11 last weekend that are normally still busy at midnight. Since heard from a couple of people it was due to a funeral on the other side of Sheffield. Anyone corroborate this or was there something else going off? Don't get why a funeral would force a load of pubs to shutm
  12. Good news, saved for now. Application refused thanks to the chair after a tied vote.
  13. Why the hell would you subscribe to that rag?
  14. It's a catch 22, it was great location for me but I stopped going in there because nobody was looking after the beer, maybe because they were trying to keep costs down due to lack of custom. But if they had served better quality beer I would have kept going in and giving them my custom.
  15. Not good news I'm afraid, recommended for demolition - decision due next Tuesday 4th. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/politics/council/council-officers-recommend-historic-sheffield-pub-demolished-make-way-houses-2924753
  16. Wow, talk about sweeping statements
  17. Just a bit, the steel structures all buckled. All going to have to come down. Must have been one hell of a blaze to do that.
  18. It's not that far from the one a few weeks ago at Arthurs skips. Looked a big blaze from Penistone road.
  19. There was a load of police there this afternoon. Something seemed to have gone off as they seemed to be rushing around.
  20. Been past Waitrose a few times in recent weeks and seen them queuing all round the car park. Frankly think that so many people queuing to go into an overpriced supermarket is more baffling than queuing at McDs.
  21. Still closed off tonight by the looks of it.
