I live on the Winn Estate (somebody has to). We have the STL bus and the tram. There's no direct regular bus into Hillsborough and town (there's a community one that goes a few times a day to Hillsborough if it's still running but it's not a direct route). The STL go to and from Middlewood Terminus to Stocksbridge and back. So, this bank holiday weekend.....Supertram works......no trams coming up past Shalesmoor. There will be no replacement buses for the 4 days of the work!!! Even more annoying ,for those who come from further up Middlewood Road towards Oughtibridge and for folks like me who have limited mobility, the STL will not be running into Hillsborough. This means unless you can walk to/from Leppings Lane there is nothing in the way of public transport on the Middlewood Road corridor going towards Hillsborough. Fourth biggest city in England running a beyond dire rural service. It stinks. I fail to understand how leaving an entire area of Sheffield without public transport for a few days is allowed. If Stagecoach can't make provision then why are they even allowed to operate???

I'm pretty sure the Albert Hall faithful will still sing it. They'll hold Zoom parties and all sing together. As an aside....there was a guest on the TV chat show earlier who had obviously just picked up on the "S" word....and that is why he wasn't happy that the song is allowed to be sung at all. He made the mistake of bringing Ireland into the equation - saying that what Northern Irishman would want to sing the National Anthem given the history. Mmmmm, wrong example to give. The presenter (Irish)....read the words to the Irish National Anthem which also contains the "S" word........and said that all National Anthems are patriotic to the cause - understandably. This is nothing but a diversionary tactic from the government to cover over the shoddy way they are dealing with the current situation.....oh look....there's a squirrel! SQUIRREL!

So what happens to those who live in the Oughtibridge/ Middlewood corridor? Once again we won't have a bus. Just a repeat of when the land slipped and the 57 was rerouted. Disgraceful really. Not everyone can walk the distance. 😐

They don't exactly make it easy finding 10p tickets do they??? Spent time wading through destinations, dates and times to get nowhere.

I've kept rats as pets in the past and one of the thing they love most is peanut butter (I kid you not).....bait with peanut butter on bread - I used to make mine tiny sandwiches (about an inch square). Pretty sure a trap baited with them will get you the result you need. :)

If you like this on piano....have a look at Cameron Carpenter Revolutionary Etude Chopin....and hear that difficult bit being played on organ pedals. That'll knock your socks off.

So all the previous happened in March 2018. It is now September and the place looks like its been wrecked and abandoned. Even the felled trees have sprouted shoots and there are new leaves. All extremely sad. Will it ever get finished or will it just become another of Sheffield's hideous eyesores.

Yes....tweeted...Private messaged....TWICE. He uses twitter a lot for all of his photo opportunities. I'm wondering if there is any more substance to the man other than the photos.

I was all ready to say YES to this new Mayor....thinking he might be the breath of fresh air this city needs BUT after contacting him on a matter I believe he could help with I don't even get an acknowledgement....nothing, nada, zilch. This guy put forward his agenda. The help needed was centred around an area of discrimination I believe he is passionate about. So, is this new guy just there for the photo opportunities???? In which case he is not much good to Sheffield at all. I must say I am disappointed....he could have responded with "I can't help you (but I know someone who can)"....or even a "Sod off". NOTHING. That silence speaks volumes about his real intent!

There'd be no fare dodging if they bought Jean back....she didn't take flack from anyone.

Sorry, the above post is still undergoing testing.

Or.....get rid of Microsoft and go over to Linux. No AntiVirus needed.

They're still being tested....just HOW LONG does it take to get the correct information on those boards? First post in this thread was April 2015

The amount of times I've tried to buy an old woman without any success. Thanks for the heads up....I'll get one from there

News right now. Three other blocks have combustible cladding. 600 blocks have similar cladding to Grenfell Tower. Councils have been told to send samples of any cladding for testing. Odd, considering a council spokeswoman said Sheffield Tower blocks were safe LAST WEEK. How did she know? On what evidence did she base her assurance? Or was she just spouting rubbish to deflect any concerns from residents??

The whole thing is politicised...by the very fact that those involved and those who lost their lives are living in a council block in a London borough who wishes that people like them were not there. Part of the reason for adding the cladding was because posher people who had to look at the tower as it was complained to the council that it was an eyesore. Do you think that this would have happened to a privately owned tower of flats where builders, contractors would have had to have kept to health and safety guidelines...and most definitely had to include a sprinkler system...or at least dry risers (that in this tower were removed during the refurbishment). Or do you want to live in a fluffy pink world where poor people don't exist?

She's also ordered a new carpet so anything that pinpoints the blame to the TMO can be swept under it. There will be no heads rolling, there will be no lessons learned. The block will be demolished.....and the land will be used for private development. My own view is that nothing short of a corporate manslaughter charge should come from this......but it won't.....will it.

Well...YES....QUITE. ---------- Post added 30-04-2017 at 21:59 ---------- Actually the Leeds one has been scrapped. It was supposed to be replaced with 2 services (5 and 70) covering the same routes...but they don't.

But Sheffield City Centre is a craphole....and just how do you get to the bottom of the Moor and back (so you can take "advantage" of the "wonderful" new market, Primark, T J Hughes and all the other "delightful" things it has to offer) from the Tram stops - I gave up trying to work it out when the Freebie ceased to be. Since then if I want a DECENT market or a DECENT shopping mall I'll go over to Doncaster. Sheffield City Centre is dead on it's feet.

Who cares why. Just EXTERMINATE them as you would any other filthy vermin.

Today's global developments! Are you kidding??? Who cares - when kids aren't safe from paedo's then there can be ONLY one course of action....ELIMINATE THEM. What would you do??? Invite them round and introduce them to your children? Or perhaps you are in favour of some form of rehabilitation......where they're given a new identity and put in places putting further children at risk? Yeah!!! That'll work won't it.

And then jump up and down on them just to make doubly sure they were extinct. ANY adult (no matter what religion, colour, creed or faith) who sexually abuses a child DESERVES the death penalty. Let the "deviants" all play with themselves. I don't give a flying ferret what they do to each other behind closed doors.....JUST DON'T INVOLVE CHILDREN IN YOUR SICK PERVERSIONS. (Edit: the flying ferret is saying "get me out of here too". These saddo's sicko's and phsyco's interfere with us animals too).

In the past couple of weeks I've "despatched" 35 of the little sods. They're only in my son's bedroom....which is only used when he visits. I've been catching about half a dozen a day in a clip top storage box which then gets popped into the freezer so they can have a deep sleep!!! If they were our native ladybirds I'd leave them be or let them go but these are the Asian Harlequin ladybirds (bigger than our usual ones)...and they are threatening our indigenous species. They're the ladybird equivalent of the grey squirrel!!!!

Internet with VM has been rubbish since June. Apparently they were doing work to increase the speed...and that finished on 21st September. The Internet is still slow...called out an engineer who said that the S5/S6 are now has a fault!!! This fault will result in slow speeds in the evenings/weekends and busy times (you know that time when we all want to use it!). I was told it will be lasting until the end of October. Now I have tweeted about it and got onto Virgin Media more than enough times and the best they can offer me in compensation is £7.50 per month discount (hardly a dent in what people pay per month is it). So....this thread is to encourage those with Virgin Media broadband in the areas of S5 and S6 to complain and ask for compensation. The more people who complain and they have to pay then they may be a bit quicker about resolving the problem. The fault is..... F004758778 - Reference Open Outage. Tonight my speed is not even 2mbps...when I pay for 50. Please test your broadband speed using the one by Ookla - the one Virgin Media recommends. If they can't provide the service....let's hit them in the wallet. Thanks.

No No No No No No No No No No No No there's no limit
