Well said It's a case of do as I say, not as I do If gay people want to get married, then why shouldn't they be allowed? Gay marriages would probably last longer than straight marriages anyway. It's straight people that have gay children!

I agree with a lot of what's been said on here and from people who vote Tory or Labour. Both parties have damaged this country, neither party follow through with what they say they're going to change

Am I missing something here? I thought that 'Sport Relief' should go to sport facilities here in the UK not for giving to Africa to solve their health problems? This Country already gives a huge amount of money to overseas aid and has Red Nose Day for these charities. The money doesn't get to the people that need it anyway - their government spends it.

Camping around Sheffield with kids
kirstenswift replied to chattajobman's topic in Sheffield Camping & Caravanning
I would recommend 'Orchard Park' at Tuxford, its a family friendly site. Its a quiet site (ie no entertainment) but has a lovely orchard for kids to play hide and seek in and ride bikes around. They let u pick apples, pears and plums when they're in season. -

Where and how much for ring resizing??
kirstenswift replied to sophiie's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
have u tried P A Jewellery in Walkley? They make all their own jewellery on site and will make u a custom piece if u cant see something u want. I'm sure I only paid £15 to get my gold ring altered. -

Generally if a child is born at the beginning of a school year they start in September and if they're younger start in January. The school I work at have started taking the younger children in September if the parents want their children to start sooner. My advice would be to speak to the school about your concerns. If there is a problem they will work with you to help your child. -
My father and father in law worked in the steel industry in Sheffield and both were made redundant in their 50's. My dad inparticular found it hard to find employment after that. He had a few temporary jobs before finding a permanent job in another smaller steel works in Sheffield. He finally retired at 60 due to health problems. My father in law went on to work at various temp agencies. He's a highly skilled plater and helped build the roof for the National Centre for Pop Music in Patternoster Row.

Advice needed - where to avoid living in Sheffield
kirstenswift replied to longlegs's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I've lived in Crookes, Crosspool and Fulwood; all are nice areas and are on a good bus route past the uni. Tapton secondary is a short walk from either the 51 or 60 bus stop. Lydgate middle is also on the 51 bus route. Crookes is the cheaper area to live and Fulwood the dearest. S10 postcode is one of the most affluent areas. -
British Gas = Am I right or Wrong

We have an online account (online tariffs are cheaper). But someone still comes around annually to read our meters. -
Hedge hopping was great fun lol:hihi:

Wardsend Cemetery - again
kirstenswift replied to WednesdayMad's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Good idea. That would keep them busy for a long time. Walkley cemetery desperately needs doing too -
I got fond memories of growing up on Crookes in the 70s and 80s. The best times were sledging on a huge plastic sheet my dad got me from work, we used to start right at the top of the Bolehills and go all the way down to the road at the bottom. In summer we used to grass sledge in cardboard boxes, lol.

I went past a couple of weeks ago to see where my great grandparents lived, they lived at No 2 Clematis Road, which if you look on Google Earth was one of the last houses to be demolished.

Any Ancestors of Percy Stanley (1892)
kirstenswift replied to elainel's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
If only Robert Winstanley got his act together when he registered my great grandfather and gave him his proper name of Winstanley and not Stanley! There are a lot of Stanleys out there with the wrong surname. It all adds to the confusion. Families are great, even better when sober. Bless em.
