Yes you can buy a phone for a tenner but how much is the monthly contract/internet charges etc? Not everyone, especially those on a limited income, can afford it.

I also receive text reminders etc but the point I'm making is that not everyone has a mobile or the internet. ---------- Post added 14-01-2018 at 00:14 ---------- Providing you have the knowledge, inclination and of course the cash to keep up with technology.

Not everyone has or uses text or Email how about ESP?

As far as I know the carrier bag charge for all shops is being discussed, it's not yet mandatory. As for the credit card charge businesses will still make the charge under the guise of "Service or admin" fees.

It's not just a recent problem. A few years ago I received a letter confirming my cataract removal the day after I'd had the operation. I think they use 2nd class or pony express.

So you had to dismantle this argument last year? Who the hell are you and why is it preposterous? No explanation just a preposterous comment.

I wonder how many of the protesters have cut down a perfectly healthy tree just because they simply have to have a real Christmas tree to decorate their homes?

20 limit where I live, it's a cul-de-sac.

Sadly Cyclone, they won't make their feelings known. They will still vote them back in.

Good idea about getting out of the contract sadly SCC don't have a conscience, nothing will change because our arrogant council will NEVER admit they got it wrong.

Politicians today, especially Labour, have mostly never worked outside politics. They have come through through university and the student union. They have no experience in the business world which is why real and experienced business people and wide boys run rings around them and tie them in knots, such as holding them to ludicrous 25 year contacts. Politicians both local and national are totally out of their depth.

I don't bother with the Star much nowadays. Repetitive news items. I used to like to read the comments to stories and letters but the fruitcakes and loonies took it over an spoiled it. Now you can only comment through Facebook, I don't use Facebook etc so I no longer bother with it.

Just curious, are these closures affecting Asda as there is only one exit onto Handsworth Road?

Planner1, in your fantasy council Lala land maybe, to the rest of us it's appalling, it's a pleasant walk on a nice day providing you are able to walk ok. I can't do it and need to be picked up. I agree the station is a beautiful building but it has been ruined by the "Planners" poor access and that concrete and water monstrosity.

I'm just answering the attacks on me or am I only allowed to "Debate" if you and Daven agree? But, as you say, to get back on topic. It doesn't matter what anyone says about access to the station. The council, planners, rail company and Uncle Tom Cobley and all, they will never admit they have got it wrong. Sheffield station has a beautiful facade but access is appalling and is a poor advert and welcome to visitors to our city. Our leaders should be ashamed.

Be assured that I am not at all unhappy or spoiling for an argument. I am commenting on his posts on this topic not others he made. As you are a fan of Daven, I'll bow to his and your superior knowledge and understanding. And you accuse me of not understanding debate even though neither of you know anything about me and refuse to see my point of view.

Daven, Thank you for your assesment of my communication skills. I can assure you that I am neither aggressive or arrogant, just annoyed at your sanctimonious comment. You clearly said that people are "lazy and have apoplexy if they are not dropped at the door" I'm simply trying to make the point that not all disabilities are visible/physical. Not everyone can pull a suitcase from the Q Park then across the station, I couldn't. May I suggest that you are the one that needs to take a deep breath and think before posting your narrow minded comments.

I think you should wind your neck in and calm down dear. I was making a point which obviously you can't or won't accept or understand. Maybe I know more about it than you think.

Maybe they know what their legs are for but are unable to walk too far dragging a suitcase or perhaps their legs aren't the problem. I hope you are never in that position.

If it's the programme I saw I believe it was several parking notices that was ignored not just one. That's why the fines and charges were so high.

I agree completely, it must be obvious to a blind man that when a breakdown/accident can bring the whole city to a standstill there is something seriously wrong with the layout, management and planning of our roads. This keeps happening but the planners will not acknowledge there is a problem and that they have got it wrong.

EccoNoob. I was just stating what happened to me. I'm quite aware of the reasons but thought it so obvious that it wasn't necessary to explain. You obviously didn't agree hence your sanctimonious condescending reply.

I went to a show at the Lyceum a few years ago and was charged £12 for 3 hours in this car park. Never again. Its a pity because its's ideally placed.

The fireworks marked the end of the annual "Owls in the Park" in Hillsborough Park. I believe the event was moved to later in the year to coincide with 150th anniversary of the founding of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club which is today 4th September. Happy Birthday Sheffield Wednesday.

Says it all about Sheffield doesn't it?
