Hi, Jean Poole was my mum. She passed away in June this year. Why are you looking for her?

What's the worst place you have been on holiday abroad
Diddles replied to daftlad's topic in General Discussions
The worst holiday i've ever had was in Dacia in Corfu. The beach (?) consisted of nothing but pebbles and cigarette ends, the apartment (?) was situated in the middle of some fields, we were surrounded by chickens, cockerels, goats etc and there was no street lighting (luckily we had been advised to take a torch). We had to hire 2 fans so that we could breathe at night (we daren't leave the windows open cos of the mozzies), and i got bitten to death by the bloody things and ended up at the medical centre. Never ever again. Also, I'd just like to say that i love Malta and am thinking of going there again later this year. -
The new wind turbines, to the East of Sheffield.
Diddles replied to megalithic's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
The huge turbine at the B&Q distribution centre terrifies me, I have to put the sun visor down whenever i drive past so I can't see the big swishy arms! (going cold just talking about it) -

Plane round handsworth at night?
Diddles replied to Sarahford's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Five pages of posts and I'm still no wiser as to what the plane was flying round for!! It stopped me from getting to sleep in Mosborough last night, and I've felt rubbish all day at work today, so will whoever it is please go and fly somewhere else tonight as I'm working tomorrow too. -
YOUR favourite things about Sheffield
Diddles replied to ASheffielder's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
the road out..... -
they have put up my retirement age twice which now means I can't retire until I'm 66 - it should have been 64 which was bad enough, but then they decided to up the retirement age early which means that I got clobbered twice.

Just wanted to say a big 'thank you' to Avante Removals for an excellent job when we moved house last Friday - you guys were great and made a stressful day a lot easier. Cheers!

Which Estate Agents should we use?
Diddles replied to Purplething's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
To be honest we've had no problems with Haybrooks at Gleadless. We got a valuation from them which was what we were expecting, and they got us quite a few viewings within the first 2 days, and the house was sold within 5 days. They do seem to shift a lot of houses in our area. -
You could hire them out as scarecrows - make a bit of money out of them both

A couple who live near to us have just paid £12,000 to have solar panels installed. It's going to take a good few years before they start to make any profit from them

Poor little fishes in Crystal Peaks
Diddles replied to girlyblonde's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Personally I can't think of anything worse than putting my feet in a tank full of fish - yuk, it makes me cringe! -
Yes that is true, when I sat my 'O' Levels in 1970 they were indeed graded with numbers, as above. OMG, it was a long time ago!!

Norton Anti-Virus was invented in Norton, Sheffield
Diddles replied to LibertyBell's topic in I'm Bored!
Google Maps thinks that everywhere in Sheffield is in Norton - oh no that's true!! -
Is it possible to book a holiday abroad the day before you go?
Diddles replied to iphonelover's topic in General Discussions
My husband and I did it a few years ago. We were due to have a week in our caravan at Skegvegas and the weather was awful, so we had a look on teletext, phoned up and booked a week in Majorca, leaving the next day. We picked up our tickets at the airport and had a brill holiday with 90 degrees temp every day! -
Which dry complete dog food do you use?
Diddles replied to diamond123's topic in Sheffield Pet Owners
Our pooches have James Wellbeloved, another top quality dry complete dog food - costs around £7.50 - £8.00 per 2kg bag depending on where you get it from -
Strange happenings in the Castle Market.
Diddles replied to cuttsie's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I think they must be the same people who we saw at Rivelin Valley last weekend - but they were horizontal rather than vertical. -
Strange happenings in the Castle Market.
Diddles replied to cuttsie's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Don't forget that the ruins of Sheffield Castle are underneath the market - maybe something to do with that? -
Our Cairn Terrier is obsessed with the adverts on TV - he'll even come running in from the garden to watch them. He knows every advert that has a dog in it, and even growls at Churchill (oh yes!) Also since the Libyan saga started, he's decided that he doesn't like the foreign correspondents who report on it on the BBC, and he howls at them too. He's a strange animal!
