I've not heard this but it certainly doesn't apply to Adsa. I wish it did as I can't get to shops. Just had my very small grocery order delivered. At least half of what I wanted was unavailable.

In 50-odd years of buying insurance policies, I don't recall ever coming across the phrase. -
Double Glazed Windows Help / Companies
kaleidoscope replied to haddy's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
This link may help you to go about finding someone. https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/double-glazing/article/how-to-buy-double-glazing/your-rights-when-buying-double-glazing You will need to scroll down till you get to the section headed: How to resolve problems with a double glazing company -
Probably a typographical error. For "refectory" try reading "rectory".

The Bus route section in Rotherham Hospital
kaleidoscope replied to alankearn's topic in General Discussions
You could also use the barrier car park to drop off patients. There is no charge for the first 30 minutes of parking. However, I realise you are probably just wanting to save time; i.e. the hassle of having to mess around with the ticket machine and barriers. -
Better still, drop British Gas and get a service contract with a local company. I did this about 20 years ago and I'm still with the same company. Better service and cheaper. Incidentally "Which?" say that the majority of people will save money not having a contract at all and just paying for any breakdowns and an annual service.

The assessment is only intended to check whether or not you are fit enough to undergo the surgery and there are usually checks to make sure you will not transfer infection to the hospital.

Concessionary bus pass use before 9.30 a.m..
kaleidoscope replied to florence kat's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Thanks for the information, busdriver1. I would not wish to cause problems for transport employees. I suppose he should have charged me the fare to White Lane where I should have got off the tram and back on, continuing to town using my bus pass. Note to self: must remember if there is a next time. -

kaleidoscope replied to florence kat's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Travelling to Sheffield from Halfway on the tram, I got on at about 9.15 am. The conductor looked up where the tram would be on the route by 9.30 according to the timetable and charged me for that part of the journey only, i.e. £1.60 to White Lane. -
Rendezvous was there in the 1940s, as was Greenstreets Chemist and Credlands Garage. On the same side of the road to the right of the chemist I remember a fruit and vegetable shop, then a grocery shop and an insurance office and lastly, a bank (Trustee Savings?). Beyond the bank was St Patrick's School and then St Patrick's Church.

I received the same information in an email from a friend in Canada on 20 May. I wonder if we both know the same person or maybe it's just a coincidence.

Sheffield Shops That Are Now Extinct !!
kaleidoscope replied to Solution's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
A department store I believe no-one has mentioned so far was Proctors on Fargate. It was next to the old Cole Brothers store. I believe there was also a jewellery store called Ciro, probably also on Fargate. It sprang up later in Cockaynes, which later became Schofields. -

Yes. We have taken TVs to the Crystal Peaks branch of BHF. -
You definitely do in Wales so I would imagine it would be the same here.

If you have ever wanted to learn to play the game of crown green bowls, now is your opportunity to learn at no cost to yourself. Coaching is available for beginners of all ages on Saturday mornings between 10.00 a.m. and 12.00 noon throughout the summer bowling season. The lessons take place at Todwick Bowling Green, at the far end of the Recreation Ground on Goosecarr Lane, S26 1JH, and the first session begins on Saturday, 30 May 2015 and continues each Saturday until mid-September. Make sure you are there by 10.00 a.m. on your first visit. Bowls can be borrowed free of charge. You will need to wear flat shoes as no heels are allowed on the green. The only thing you will need to pay for is tea or coffee and biscuits at 25 pence. Please come along. We would love to meet you.
