From what I can see it was an American homeland security campaign to raise awareness about terrorists. Why it's on a Sheffield bus is beyond me. Unless its a publicity stunt for a film or something.

A cut down sim should work ( it did with mine) then I just plugged it into iTunes and it did the rest for me

Do you know what is upsetting about this thread? The fact that the OP could even think that the employer was making up wage slips when it looks like there are other issues that have little, if nothing, to do with the employer

Which issues the one where his employer was paying N.I contributions to a wrong NI number as a woman?

It's wrongly assumed by some people that if they are working then they will be paying stamp when it's not always the case and they only discover it when they need to fall back on their contributions.

They seem to still be sorting out the backlog from the errant postie, we just had a packet delivered for our neighbour who has since moved postmarked 11th April 2011.

Passed by today and I must say it is still looking good and ready for Spring (if it eventually comes). Noticed some new trees as well.

 

Well done to everyone involved in this project.

Yep and it's 5 years down the line, and they said it wouldn't last

It's also not unusual to be so busy that finishing on time isn't possible, hence you should thank any postie that works over as otherwise you wouldn't get any mail that day.

Unless its the postie about who this thread refers then you get nothing at all

The story is on the star web site.

Are you involved with the community group, or had any contact with them? I think that they would be interested to hear your experiences. The plan for an orchard is similar to one I have heard floated, although decontamination has also been mentioned. The associated cost of that could be substantial.

I'm not Pete, unfortunately new work takes e out of the area for most of the working week but I'm happy to share what I know if the organisers want to pm me.

It's not rumour btw, I had a very long and difficult battle to get that far with the council on this one when I was environmental projects officer for Hillsborough Forum, we really wanted to get this land back into use ASAP but the council put a stop on it.

Well when I had a meeting with the new allotments officer post clearance and the funding being 'reallocated' it was on a site visit where I put forward the proposition for a community orchard and growing space.

I was told under no circumstances would it be allowed due to the nature of what may cross over from soil to crop. Health and safety was the reason given. If my memory serves me well a figure of £14k was quoted to do the full analysis.

The allotments were taken back by the council around 2008 as part of a plan with the nhs. There was a £50k grant to create family food growing plots, these would be allocated to families with health issues where a more active lifestyle and healthier diet would be beneficial.

Contractors were brought in the clear the land and has been said they ploughed asbestos etc from old sheds into the soil. The £50k was then reallocated to the allotment project at parson cross park.

I had a meeting with the head of allotments at the time who advised me that the expense of testing for levels of contamination were too high to be paid for and as it stood the land was unfit for the purposes of food growing.

Edit to add: these allotments were not Covenanted plots they were faux allotments which it why they were allowed to be repossessed in the first place.

I don't know the ins and outs but it's took to be recycled and yes it's works out at around 5 pound per collection

You ought to find out where it goes and ask to see their waste carriers license

So you pay £5.50 per collection, where do they take your rubbish??

finally spoke to someone an environmental health. they have contacted the landowner and asked him to clear it up. they have got 28 days to sort it, if he doesnt do anything the council will clear it

 

lets see if it happens!!

If the landlord doesn't comply the council will remove it and bill him directly

It seems to be the thing to do these days take a traditional rural pubs and gentrify them for folk to drive out to of a weekend to have lunch.

I was out the other weekend and after a snowy walk arrived in the village, one pub boasted a welcome walkers sign - then instructed walkers to leave their boots in the porch outside. It was all restaurant wanna be food and plush carpets, whereas the pub over the road had a carpeted bar and a flag floored room, no pretences and they served a decent pint and some nice grub. Much more honest and welcoming.

I hate that country pubs seem to not want those folk using the countryside in them anymore and would rather go for the 4x4 family willing to spend £70 on crap food and 4 j2os before they tootle of back to the burbs.

does anyone know how i can find out who owns the wasteland on taplin road? i know there is title registery, which might have info on but you have to pay to get it.

 

since the council are so inept at being able to track the owner of this land then i will try to find out myself.

 

also i am thinking of just clearing the fly tip myself as i am sick to death of looking at it. the council have told me i will be trespassing if i do this?? is this true, even though its open land?

 

thanks

Yes it's trespass and to remove items from the land would be a theft as now they are there they are the sole property of the landowner

This is quite common already at many festivals; for example it has been done at Sheffield Gay Pride this way for many years...

I never buy beer with tokens at pride, I take a picnic .. Tyranna, this was in response to the poster talking about taking fake tenners

At least someone is trying.

 

But surely it would have just been better just to have a Tramlines stage or two in Hillsborough Park (it's very much on the tramlines of course, unlike Endcliffe Park), and have some proper (original) bands playing. Or put local bands on on a smaller scale like the Walkley Festival.

 

This looks a bit like another Sheftival waiting to happen to me.

From reading the blurb it's a private company who are touring putting this show on all over the country as a self contained event.

Edit : beer is to be bought via a token system apparently.

Does platform know about this event? fake festival in Hillsborough park

Just had a guy drop off flyers for this sheffield fake festival all going down in Hillsborough park this June.

Thought you might like to know

All structural changes has been made in 1993 when has been made main renovations (nearly half of the building has been down). Now we have done just interior changes - wall decoration, new furniture, carpets, lights, more open bar etc. It looks fresh and light and I think we managed to spoil oldest part with new extension.

 

You can find some pictures from 1993 renovation on Picture sheffield

 

About ghost...we hadn't pleasure to meet them yet, but previews couple from management company and most of the regular customer are saying that they are still here, so you never know if you are drinking your pint alone...

I've encountered the ghost when my sister was relief managing the queens head (pre 93) Aside from glasses moving about when our back was turned. We closed up one night turning everything off except the tap lights and went out for a late drink in a club. Came back and all the lights were on and the doors in the upstairs living had all been opened. I only stayed the one night

How kind of specsavers

If you have a freezer don't be afraid to buy food reduced because its close to or on its use by/best before date. Stick it straight in the freezer and it will be fine. This goes for bread, milk and cheese.

Morrisons dropped the ball and reduced a loads of butter to 35p a block. I have enough butter in my freezer now to last a good six months.

I've transferred money at the weekend when it's not banking hours and it went across immediately. I can't see why not
