Brown Bear Sheffield City Centre - closed? Now re-opened.
philyyy replied to Audilad's topic in Going out in Sheffield
Not sure if there are two sentences here. Is this proper pub boring or your local with TVs etc boring? Some pubs in this city are getting things very right for their market i.e. they are packed and others I go in I just despair and wonder why they don;t see why it is empty. -
Food Recommendations on Ecclesall Road Please
philyyy replied to OliviaLouise's topic in Going out in Sheffield
Forgot about Ashoka, no issues there. Only been a couple of time but the food is decent. -

All Siam Thai restaurant is the only one I can recommend. In my view there's quite a bit of overpriced, under quality going on for food on that street. -

What makes a pub a "proper drinking pub" please? -
Dockless bike sharing scheme to launch in Sheffield
philyyy replied to WalkleyIan's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
No, I suspect it is potentially illegal (apparently police use discretion) to ride them on the pavement as with all bikes. They should be used on the road if ridden by an adult and are probably too big for must children anyway. -
It depends on the vegan but most will. For the OP, try Casa Mia at Nether Edge. Nice new Italian with a page of vegan options on the menu. Think the very new (opened today) Urbanita288 at 288 Abbeydale Road is meant to do vegan and gluten free stuff.

I don't think it should be ignored, by the way, I am just not sure what the answer is that doesn't cost money. The mess in my local park was sprayed pink last summer, with some bio-degradable chalk spary paint, and that seemed to highlight the problem literally and reduce it a tad too.

You have to catch people to prosecute people and spending masses of money looking for people seems self defeating. Am sure they could campaign to highlight the problem but anyone who doesn't already know that they should clean up their dog's doings probably isn't going to listen.

I won't be there but might be worth mentioning on their Facebook page "Sheffield Litter Pickers". -

Thank you. Apologies. Edited. -
OiSoi new ish restaurant- any forum folk been?
philyyy replied to TwoTrees's topic in Going out in Sheffield
I've heard very good reports too, it is a shame that, rather weirdly, none of their rice is gluten free. No idea what they do to it. -
Bed base dumped - what to do
philyyy replied to florence kat's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
It's an inefficient, overly complicated set up. -

Is that not a flaw in the system? If it was controlled by the council then they could charge (maybe not as much as a private contractor), make money and recycle a lot more than they do currently and a reduction in fly tipping would, to soe extent, occur as a consequence. -

Where do businesses take their rubbish if they don't take them to the tip? -
Mass Litter Pick Saturday the 3rd of March 1pm Firth Park
philyyy replied to philyyy's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
There will be lots of separate bags rather than a single big one. I don't think anyone who will be going is under any illusions about the task in hand. Feel free to join in. -
If anyone does want to raise the profile of the mess of the city, do a litter pick and some other activities linked to that, then The Sheffield Litter Picker Group is arranging an event for Keep Britain Tidy's Big Clean Up. They will meet at Firth Park Clocktower Pavillion, S5 6WS at 1pm on Saturday the 3rd of March. The first 100 helpers will be given a litter picker for keeps which aims to try and get more people picking where they live. They will proceed from there in various directions with the aim of being visible, tidying a decent sized area and getting some press coverage for their efforts.

I wouldn't consider it subsidising a business. Why should a business have to pay to get rid of rubbish if the council and its contractors ultimately dispose of it anyway. The reasons given above suggest why we should subsidise it even if that was the case. Why don't you ask the council via a freedom of Information request?

Yes, more needs to be done. It is one of the main reasons they proposed reducing the M1 to 50mph for the stretch that runs past the area. Not sure of any other proposals.

The Swim Inn appears closed - Now reopened
philyyy replied to kaytie's topic in Going out in Sheffield
I went just before Christmas for a comedy gig. There was about 14 of us in there, the comedy wasn't great but the venuw with the weird curtains and old school living room thing was interesting and I thought it worked well. Nice to see them trying to do some a little different even if no one else is quite sure what that is. I think venues can do whatever they want and don't need defining as a gig or comedy etc venue. -
The venue is now run as Pot, Kettle, Black. You will barely notice the difference.

Crystal Bar - reopened after NYE stabbings
philyyy replied to Bob Arctor's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
From what I know of the incident that got it closed there was very little the venue could have done so don't really see why it ahould be punished. Sadly there are a fair few tools in the world and these things happen. -
The carvery was what you'd expect for the price you paid. It was food, it was edible.

The 'Cowshed' on Ecclesall Rd, any opinions or experiences?
philyyy replied to AmberLeaf's topic in Going out in Sheffield
I'm not sure if you dislike pretentious people or undesirables or if you consider them to be one in the same. Service staff doing servicing seems like a decent plan to me. I'm lost.
