I used to go way back in the 70s when Mrs Lord used to run it. My aunt also played a big part there too.

Thank you for that... I've just read through it all. My email from Yahoo also has a link in it so I'll be deleting it too. I've tried doing what sgtkate suggests but it's still in foreign language. Also cleared the cache and browsing history but still foreign language. So I've typed ' Yahoo UK mail ' and it brings the login page up in English so fingers crossed. Thank you to everyone of you whose helped me.

Hi I've been using yahoo mail accounts for a few years now but just lately when I sign with my e-mail address and password it's asking me for them in a foreign language. I've received an email yesterday from Yahoo about a data breach in December 2016. I changed my passwords then and it's asking me to do it again. Plus I'm getting hundreds of not nice spam emails. I'm sorry if you're having difficulty understanding this but I'm not that good at explaining things when it comes to technical stuff. But if anyone can offer me any advice that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions. I'll give them a look over on the internet.

Hi I'm looking to buy a smallish car to get me to work and back and was wondering if anyone can recommend any decent car sales in Sheffield or surrounding areas. I've seen a few used car sales and had a look but to be honest the cars for sale are rubbish. Either high mileage or a mess inside..full of rust ...short mot etc. Now I know I'm not going to get a new car for what I'm planning on spending but I would like something half decent. If anyone can recommend somewhere I'd be most grateful. Thank you.

We have one of these types of window cleaners but to be honest I much prefer the old style window cleaners. They would wipe all your frames and sills etc . This new one we have now leaves our Windows wet through so they dry all dirty looking and his brush has marked our front and back doors. And I'm charged £6 for the privelege!! Just my opinion though.

There are some nasty people about arent there? This is how we aquired a stray cat. Well I'm saying stray...she was 'owned' by a family until they got themselves a dog, then they outed the cat. Couple of years later they moved and left behind the cat. I have 3 of my own cats, but when you've got a hungry wet cold cat on your doorstep what do you do? My cats were like yours, they would not take to her, spitting, hissing growling etc etc. Eventually one dreadful winters night she came in. I kept a close eye on mine so they didnt over power her. And now 12 years later, they all live in the house together, they dont get along, but they tolerate each other. They all seem happy and content, there is the odd spit and hiss and growl and a tap of their paw, but nothing major. We too rang around the various animal charities to see if they could take her and they all had waiting lists, which we did put her name onto. They told me we would be waiting a long time and her name did come up, I think it was around 3-4 months after, but by this time, we had got attached to her and couldnt let her go. But I know we made the right choice for her. She is such a lovely little cat bless her and the last visit to the vet place her around 19-20yr old so shes doing just fine. I cant suggest what you can do, thats got to be your decision but I wish you well and hope you manage to find a loving permanent home for this poor little cat.

Hi..I have 4 cats all in good health, all in their later years, one being nearly 20years old. My beautiful male cat has recently not been eating as much as he normally does, but still kept eating just smaller portions. The weight over the last 2-3 months is coming off him, but as he is happy and himself I put it down to him getting on a bit. He appears fine in himself, drinking, going to the loo etc etc perfectly normal. I noticed on Monday his gums seemed to be a bit yellow, so I took him to the vet and she said he was jaundiced, she examined him and he wasnt in any pain whilst she was doing this. She said she would do some blood tests to try to determine the cause of the jaundice but quoted me a price I cannot afford at this moment. So I asked for an alternative approach. Anyhow, she gave me some antibiotics and a liver supplement for his liver and we have to go back in a few days time. Since he as been taking the antibiotics his appetite has returned and I now cant fill him bless him. He is still yellow. I have googled jaundice in cats and frightened myself to death, as per usual. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a cat with jaundice and how they treat it etc etc...Like I said earlier, he is his normal self, I've had cats for over 30years but never one to have this problem. Any advise would be of great help....Thanks....

Happy New Year to everyone. ..I hope 2015 brings my family lots of happiness and laughter and love and good health. .. ...and it's bringing us another new grandchild. ..

We had a gritting lorry come down our road at lunchtime today with a plough on the front. He didn't use the plough or grit the road. ..just drove down the road. .where's the sense in that.

We saw a guy doing this dressed as Yoda in Whitby a few weeks ago... group of teenage girls came across him and they were screaming and freaking out...

I've recently let my hair dye grow out..to reveal white hair which I've had since my teens...thats why I dyed it in the first place. ..went to the hairdresser and was charged the oap rate. ...I'm now considering dying it again. ....now that made me feel old....wouldn't mind but I'm no where near being an oap! !

Thanks for your help ..The exhaust place never mentioned about turning it off to be honest. ..and I didn't think to ask either. ..but again. .thanks for your help.

Thanks for your info. All I know is that the first place said it was showing on the scanning machine as the cat was faulty. We dont have any of the signs of a faulty cat with the car. This place turned the light off...within 3 days it came back on...we then went to the exhaust place..the emissions test they did was done 3 days before the scan....they didnt tell me if it was a current fault..they just said not to spend a lot of money..especially on the cat..because it might not cure the problem, as they had known that happen in the past, so thats when they referred me to another place to get the codes and to pinpoint the exact fault....they said...they didnt turn the light off so its still on...but the car is running fine...it doesnt stall..misfire..not using a lot of petrol..at the moment anyway....so maybe like you said...see how it goes for a while....

I put that because of what the garage told us...not what you said...read my post properly before you jump in and start name calling

What you on about..good luck with your thick attitude?

Yeh the light came on 3 days after the first scan...the exhaust centre told us not to replace the cat or the sensor until we had had the car scanned with a machine that will read our car....as just because it brought those faults up on their machine..doesnt mean to say its them at fault...

Both places said it didnt bring any codes up...and I was stood at the side of the guy doing the scan at the exhaust place so I saw what it said...just the cat below threshold and camshaft position sensor...but no codes....we were told that the place where I rang would have the appropriate software on their equipment for our car????? whatever that means....

Hi Does anyone know of anywhere that can do a diagnostic test on our car and be able to pinpoint exactly whats wrong with it? We have bought a little Rover 25 3 weeks ago..only had it a week and the engine management light came on...we had it scanned and it brought up a faulty catalyctic converter...took it to an exhaust centre to check emissions and its passed all the checks they did on it...so they said it wouldnt be the cat at fault, they advised us to book it in with them as they had two scanning machines and one would definately pick the correct fault up...3 days later took the car into them for them to tell me they only have one machine capable of 'reading' our car...this brought up the cat was working below threshold and the camshaft position sensor....they told me to take it to a place who were very good at diagnosing problems...I telephoned them for them to say they only deal with HGV's...but they can do the car but they then said they couldnt guarantee picking the correct fault up but not to replace the cat or camshaft sensor as it probably wouldnt cure the fault...????????????..we've paid out for two scans on this car.....we dont want to spend too much money on it as like I said before..we've only had it for 3 weeks...we've googled about the cat failing and the symptoms they are showing for a faulty cat..we dont have...not one symptom...the car is running absolutely fine...it isnt using petrol excessively...running smooth..so we are now at a loss as to what to do next... If anyone knows of a decent place that will scan it for us but could guarantee that their equipment will definately pinpoint the fault on the car...we'd be very grateful if you would let us know.... Thanks....

Ah is it...bless her....hope someone comes forward with some info as to the whereabouts of the car then....glad it isnt another accident...

Just been to collect my son from work and Normanton hill is closed again..Police at Hollinsend rd and Linley Lane. ..Hppe its not another accident. ..

So sorry for your loss..you have my condolences and sympathy. I had a very similar experience regarding the care staff at the home my mom was in. Its four years ago now, she had only been there for two months, in that short space of time they managed to severely overdose her on medication and then tried to blame another home, where she had been placed temporarily. I only picked up on it by sheer luck. My mom was placed into adult safeguarding measures and the home got a 'slap on the wrist' and told not to do it again. But going back to my Mom, the home rang me to say my mom wasnt well and had collapsed, I told them to phone an ambulance and was on my way, I was only 10mins away from the home. I set off in the car when I got another call saying she was in the ambulance and to go straight to the Northern, which we did. We waited 3/4 of an hour for my mom to come by ambulance. When they finally fetched us in, they told me she was dead. She had been unwell in the morning, but the staff still showered her, dressed her and walked her into the dining room for breakfast,my mom had alzheimers so she would find it very hard to try to tell them how she was feeling. When a carer got her to the dining room, she was sick, so they walked her back to her room, where halfway down the corridor she collapsed. The home said she was still alive and talking to them when the ambulance arrived. I made a formal complaint and had all the info etc from the ambulance service, minute by minute account of the call made etc etc, and my mom actually died on the floor of the corridor in the home, but the manager of the home insisted she was still alive and talking to them. I believed the ambulance service. I could have been with my mom when she died. the ambulance service said she was crying, very agitated and disorientated bless her. I was not best pleased with the home let me tell you. I did go to the hearing where they got a slap on the wrist, where the care home manager seemed to find it funny cos she kept laughing at me...I really could have laid into her.. So nothing surprised me with care homes, I lost my faith there and then I'm afraid.. I am so so sorry for you in the situation you have been put in with your Nan, and I hope in time, you can come to terms with what has happened....

Hi I have, 3 weeks ago, bought some venus flytrap seeds complete with pot, soil seeds etc...I did what it told me to do on the packet and sure enough within a week 3 little shoots started growing. The thing is, they dont look like miniature venus flytrap plants to me. I have googled images of seedlings but mine look nothing like the ones on the internet. Can anyone tell me what they are supposed to look like please..These are just 3/4" stems with leaves, round green leaves, just two, and now there are two new tiny leaves growing in between the two already there...sorry not to be more specific..you can tell I dont garden...but just wanted to have a go see if I could grow these lovely little plants...I cant put a photo on as I cant work out how to do that either...sorry.... Thanks.....

I saw a snake slithering across the road where the scrap yard is and the train track runs across the road at Beighton about 4years ago now...I was stunned to see a snake on the road and was driving at the time so I couldnt stop to take a photo of it on my mobile phone....when I got home I rang my husband and told him about it...and all he did was laugh..he thought I had been drinking....not seen one since....

No thats right I agree...I dont know for sure...but I know my husband and I trust him....he aint got the time to cheat bless him..his job entails him working extremely long hours...and yes..hes definately working....hes shattered all the time...so thats not a good combination if youre going to cheat...
