I have just had my motor mower serviced by a chap who lives in Totley - brilliant, better than when it was new. He calls himself the ' Mower Mender ' 0114 2366958 or 0781 2211149.

Just had some, ( a lot ) of fencing done today by Paul Day. Brilliant, tidy & well priced.

Further to last mail. Job completed by Paul Day. Very good, tidy &, dont tell him, but a very good price !!!

Just having ( as I type) a very large fence fitted by Paul Day, so far very impressed !!

Charisma Blinds, a Sheffield based family business. We found them to be reliable and very competitive. charisma-blinds.com

Pretty sure the top went some time ago, the bar is more or less as it was but finished off better. The makeover has been done well because the character of the pub has not changed but there were things that needed sorting. A good excuse to try it !!

Karen Lake. More music to come I think .

The Crown had its official opening last night. They had a buffet and good music. It is now back to its full glory, a great local. Tony and Julie deserve it to do well, and I have no business interest in the pub by the way. Just give it a try, the food is great too !

Went in last night, very nice and food should be back on Friday next. Good luck to Tony and Julie.

Has anyone booked a holiday with Olympic recently. They seem to be swapping and changing flights and not informing customers until the last min. Any info. ?

Did Mr. Wall teach you by any chance ?

When Phil ran the Crown last year, it was at its best. Punch drove him out with high rents etc. The woman who took it over, a real wast of space, lasted about a month. Someone is moving in now, so lets hope they keep it as a ' proper pub ' or they will be finished in another month ! I hope it works 'cos I want my local back.

There is activity at the Crown. Lets hope they are better than the last one that lasted a week !! Cant wait.

Went in the other night and was very impressed. Now the Crown has gone downhill after Phil left, the Cross is now a firm favorite .

Mikey, did you read the notice on the window. What a load of .....

About 8.30 pm. Just heard that its closed down. AGAIN. Punch should appreciate a good landlord when they have one, like Phil.

Well, I went down last night to give it a try, and guess what, IT WAS SHUT !! What a waste of a great Pub. Bring back Phil.

The Crown at Totley was, repeat was, a great little pub. Phil, who has run it for the last year turned it round and made it into one of the most welcoming, friendly pubs I have known. Sadly, Punch Inns had other ideas and forced him out by charging over the top rent etc. etc. The old story.

Very sad to hear that Phil has had to leave the Crown. He did a great job and worked his socks off ! It sounds as if it is going downhill fast. Time will tell.

Charisma Blinds in Sheffield are brilliant. We have tried others but they are the best.

CHARISMA BLINDS at Heeley, family business. Brilliant.

Fantastic, well done Phil. The Crown rocks !!!

Good luck Phil, cant give our name but you know us. Be in Thursday all being well

WE used a local company, Charisma Blinds. Much better choice of fabrics than hillarys and better service to.

We have used Charisma Blinds. Great job. Good reliable firm.
