  1. I saw the weeds being cleared this week. Does anybody have any news on the plot development?
  2. A couple of years later, after much hassle and numerous visits by Yorkshire Water, one guy said he would have a listen to the pipes to each house up the hill. 2 minutes and 2 houses later he found a leak turned off the water and the 'natural spring' on my property stopped.
  3. Some useful posts guys thanks a lot. I'm not sure what to do next. I have had a sample of the 'spring' water and a sample of my tap water analysed and they came out very similar. I was thinking of getting a 'known' spring or water source in the area done, as a comparison.
  4. Duplicate thread. See thread in Sheffield Discussions
  5. Sometime early last year a 'spring' (according to Yorks Water) appeared in my garden. It is putting out just over 2 litres of water per minute. The result is, the garden has become waterlogged and has sunk and slumped and is pushing over a retaining wall. Yorks water did tests and say it is a natural spring and/or due to a rising water table? (Hmm..) It is constant and does not vary with the season or rainfall. I would like to have some tests done and I need some spring water samples from the area for comparison. Preferably a known natural spring or water source with variable flow. Anyone know of any, in the area of Mona Road, Mona Ave, Melbourn Road, Townend Street, Leamington Street, Moor End Road, Hands Road, Springvale Road. Please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  7. Hi Neil, Thank you for your reply. I notice someone else has had similar problems on previous occasions. I'm happy to hear that you are 'constantly reviewing' the telephone system. Although in itself 'constantly reviewing' doesn't alter anything. I look forward to the 'constant reviewing' leading to some changes, e.g. more staff at busy times. Best wishes Trevdiet ps. I will be 'Constantly reviewing' this thread.
  8. Good point Willman. I will drop them a line. Anyone else encountered problems post a reply as it might be useful for reference.
  9. I tried to telephone Ponds Forge on Sunday morning (re family incident, as I needed to get a message to someone however that isn't really the point). On getting through, I received the recorded message saying they were busy and I was third in the queue, etc. I continued to hold, and hold, and hold........... for just over 16 minutes. The phone was answered (I could hear talking in the background) and then replaced after 1 second, meaning I had wasted 15 minutes and approx £4 (25p per min). I guess the receptionist was already rushed of their feet, busy with customers at the counter. Any replies from management regarding staffing levels and service would be received with interest.

  11. I don't know of any regular venues, however, I believe Dale Storr is playing tonight at the Shakespeare. He plays a vartiety of jazz/blues stuff. Well worth catching, if you get chance. http://www.shakespeares-sheffield.co.uk/gig-at-shakespeares-pub-sheffield

  13. I am a regular user of Pond's Forge I have been informed of at least 3 thefts from lockers in the last 2 weeks. 2 from the women's changing room and 1 from the men's. Looking through the Forum this has been happening for over 4 years......... and Sheffield International Venues appear to have taken no positive action in prevention at all. The lockers were forced (1 screwdriver found) and emptied completely, clothes, wallet car keys. It is expensive and real pain to organise new car keys/locks. The incidents have been reported to the police, however unfortunately (as reported previously in this forum), excuses have been made by Pond's Forge staff as to why they can't find the CCTV footage. Has anyone any knowledge of any further incidents? Has anyone any ideas on prevention and or getting Pond's Forge to show CCTV footage (if they actually have a working system).
