  1. Bearing in mind what they've done to the Page Hall area yes it does!
  2. Well I live about 10 mins walk from Page Hall and the people who have moved in look very similar to the Slovakian Roma who live in that area. They also speak with Eastern European accents. But It is a tad presumptuous of me and I could be wrong. Thanks to everyone else for your input. It's appreciated!
  3. Last week in the afternoon an alarm on an empty house that is up for sale on my street started ringing. I had a look through my window to see if everything was okay and I saw an estate agent (I recognise him as he's been back and forth to the house before showing people around) with what looked like a Pakistani couple. The man was wearing a suit and the woman was wearing a saree and head scarf. It looked liked they'd tried to enter the house but forgot it was alarmed. The estate agent was on his mobile presumably getting the alarm code. He then went back into the house to turn off the alarm. After doing that he gave the couple the keys and then drove away and they went inside the house and I didn't think much more about it. But then the next day I saw about 15 plus Roma going back and forth to this house with mattresses and various bits of furniture and I would say at least two Roma families have now moved in but at no point have I seen anyone wearing anything other than the usual track suits and leggings etc. I decided to phone the estate agent as the for sale sign was still up just to check if it had been sold - it had. So I presume the people who were given the keys are the same people that have moved in. So my questions is: Why are Roma gypsies pretending to be Pakistanis to buy property? Surely the estate agents/house owners aren't bothered who buys their property as long as they have the money to pay for it?
  4. Petition signed - Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

  6. Well said Sue! I couldn't agree more with you. We had Andy fit us a kitchen in July and and he did a fantastic job! I can't recommend him enough! Not only is his workmanship first class but he's he's also very friendly and accommodating. Don't hesitate, give him a call! http://www.andrewhalljoinery.co.uk/index.html
  7. I've heard a couple over the last two weeks. One about 3.30am and the other was sometime after 4am. They were both pretty loud and with blackbirds making most of the noise.
  8. You might want to pay a visit to the Shetland Islands http://fair-isle.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/henry-waxwings-hand-feeding-again.html http://fair-isle.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/waxwings-oct-25th-2010-day-well-always.html
  9. Glad you like them! I just wish that I could have got a bit closer to them. But I should just be greatful that I managed to find them at all
  10. Managed to get some pics of waxwings around Norfolk bridge on Attercliffe road today. There were about 30 plus waxwings, 29 redwings and 6 blackbirds all picking berries of the various rowan trees.

  12. Just in case anyone is interested there's a twitter feed dedicated to waxwing spotting in and around the UK: https://twitter.com/WaxwingsUK People are posting some great pics on there! Below are a few examples (the last pic was taken in Sheffield). https://twitter.com/kasmunro/status/269801142656065536/photo/1 https://twitter.com/RSPB_OldMoor/status/269160362488782848/photo/1
  13. Spotted a large group of waxwings (60+) at 8am eating berries on trees between Europcar national car hire building and the carpark on corporation street (just below west bar roundabout). They were quite tame as I got within about 5ft of them whilst they were feeding. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me as I was on my way to town to do my weekly shop. They eventually flew off towards Neepsend/Shirecliffe.
  14. Excellent! I've been looking out for these as well. Thanks for the update
  15. Well thank you Sir, Very much appreciated!
  16. Hi Ryedo, I've just been checking out your Flickr site and you've taken some beautiful pictures!
  17. If they're polite & helpful I'll tip them. But it also depends on how much money I have on me at the time. But I usually give them two or three quid.
  18. Earlier this year there was an interesting debate on BBC's the big question about halal & kosher meat which some of you might find interesting:
  19. I watched an interview with the ex MI5/MI6 agent & novelist John Le Carré where he talks about various banks and their money laundering that some of you might find interesting. Interview starts at 3.24mins and he starts talking about money laundering at 8.22mins. The article that he refers to is here: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/13/opinion/13mazur.html?pagewanted=all
  20. Hi gamela, Go to the sheff library site (link below) and select 'H' in the keyword explorer. A scrolling selection menu will appear under the keyword explorer lising all of the areas in Sheffield begining with H. Now just scroll to 'Hunstsmans Garden School' and then Select 'search' and and new page will appear with 7 images of Huntsmans Gardens. I would have posted the pics here but the library websites strictly forbids it. All the best to everyone that use to live in Attercliffe. I was born there in 1965 and moved to Pitsmoor in the late 70's http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php PS. You can do the same type of search for Shirland Lane (there are about 16 pics)
  21. If you get blackbirds in your garden they'll appreciate fruit.
  22. Here we go: http://www.mr-vinyl.co.uk/acatalog/SC0005.html
  23. Here's a couple of clips just in case you're interested. Unfortunately I can't find the full feature. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-15794229 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00m147y
  24. From what I can tell it looks as if a lorry carrying hazardous waste has broken down opposite Firshill school.
  25. I didn't give it a second thought to see if he'd done any other videos. Thanks for pointing that out! I'll definately checkout the pennine way series Cheers Buggz
