  1. All occupants of pursued car escape unharmed. Wait for the 2 year suspended jail sentence. Banned driving for 3 years...... time to impose minimum jail sentence... charge with manslaughter. Mind you prisons nowadays are like holiday camps!!
  2. Or if you fail go to another county and sit their test. Get your Rossendale Council plates and legally pick up fares in Sheffield. So Sheffield think you are not right yet other counties have easier tests and rules allow you once have plates can pick up fares in another county. Network Taxis have a lot of Lancashire plate taxis.
  3. Trying to deport someone who has made himself part of the community and paid his taxes. Sad sad .....
  4. Never say never. Drakehouse Retail Park had the bright idea (????) of allowing a Starbucks drive through in the middle of the car park creating less parking and more congestion.....
  5. The layout of the parking has not been thought out and is too tight. On the entrance at the end of the road you can’t turn left without cutting across to the other side and often there is traffic waiting to turn.
  6. Will the launch be cancelled tomorrow?? With no trams using the Cathedral points due to constant failures can’t see it happening. Would be the icing on the cake...... tens millions over budget and can’t even launch on time.
  7. Don’t forget the new car drop off charges!!! About £4 for 5 mins!!! Go by train
  8. The picket line quickly disappeared at depot, drove home at 2pm and they had gone. My missus caught a tram home to Malin and she said the picket line in town boarded the tram (they were striking against operating!!!) and got off at West St at 4pm asking each other which pub to go in to spend their picket line money. Sounds like the union aren’t too hot either!!!
  9. Paid....??? Use their hard earned dole money?? Better off investing in a razor, soap and some Daz. Next time you are waiting an hour for an ambulance because they are busy treating the spiced up scroats then remember them on your Xmas card list
  10. First they started smashing the lock/tracker off. But some were being stopped by Police as blatantly obvious had been misused. Now they are resorting to keep the lock on but disabling it so doesn’t look obvious. Often see them round town being ridden by the hoodie/trackie bottom scroats.
  11. After going to Nottingham Ikea for the last few years decided to try Sheffield Ikea today. Will be returning to Nottingham. At least there all on one level. Concrete floors cracking everywhere you look. At Nottingham you start at the entrance and work your way round to the end, Simple
  12. Their car parks are unique..... the Arundel Gate one where you drive down a slope to get in. Often on Hallam University open days a guy with a placard saying Uni parking is pointing down there. Only a bottom of slope at barriers do you get to see their rates which is impossible to turn around. Again on car park behind Argos on Angel St - you drive up the slope to get to see the fees and if someone gets behind you then you are screwed. Thats how they make their money. Always full because of contract heavily discounted parking and makes it profits from the gullible public.
  13. Problem is not just the rail. The points across system need replacing at another few million. The 25 original trams are failing fast due to age (hence all the failed tram tweets). Add another least £25 million for replacing the fleet...... Ok the government might bail them out for the rail but the other costs...... Look at Sheffield Airport, Don Valley..... Unless serious investment then back to ripping up the track and probably just keeping the Middlewood to Meadowhall line and the tram train.
  14. They are building the new library and health centre but haven't taken into account any parking which there is a severe lack of on Woodseats...... doh.... doesnt sound like Sheffield council From what I gather the doctors at bottom of Cobnar is stopping where it is and the medical centre is more of a Jordanthorpe type centre offering a range of services. Disability parking will be needed + staff parking. Give me a spare tenner and would bet on Gary Scotting selling the land to the council for a tidy profit so can be used as a carpark.
  15. Article in Rotherham Advertiser last week said Tram Train project being stopped by Govt as not financially viable??
  16. The only place I visited a few years back where there was no prices on the cars - just the monthly finance figure. The report on BBC says all staff made redundant, all warranties and break down policies void, £8 million loss last year and anyone who bought a car recently and got a problem will have to fund the repair themselves.
  17. Nothing to worry about - swirl marks are common: http://guidetodetailing.com/damage-repair/how-to-remove-swirl-marks/
  18. Valley Centertainment car park Nunnery Square Park and Ride car park Meadowhall car park............. they are all sites regularly used by the DVLA to search out untaxed vehicles. Makes sense, you can scan masses of cars in a short space of time. Even if its on private land a car needs have tax or be SORN'd. If you dont tax your car and dont declare it SORN then the DVLA will fine you. So in a private car park and your car doesn't have tax you will get clamped / removed to compound as you will have had to have physically driven it there. Trade plate rules are that they are to be used to move a car from a to b ie one dealership to another or on a test drive where the car returns to the dealership. Using it for shopping/personal use invalidates them as technically you are defrauding the govt of car tax. You are at risk of losing your trade plates if you pursue this too much. You paid £100 release fee and now the DVLA want to fine you for no car tax. Pay it as a dispute will make them ask more questions.
  19. Everyone is raising price. Benchmark in Sheffield is Asda Petrol at Moss Way, dropped to 102.9 and now 105.9. Tesco was 106.9 where I am and now 109.9. Some independants are charging 113.9 around us who were charging 106-107. So no its not just Morrisons but everyone as a whole.
  20. Simple mistake but also one you can help contribute to avoid. The 30% reduced stickers dont cover the barcode and sometimes they can be missed. Solution - put all your 30% reduced items at start of shopping and tell the operator. Solved - simples.
  21. Lindsay Coates gets my vote as well as Sally @ Taylor and Emmet. If you are going for a mortgage check the solicitor you want to use is on their panel as will save you time and money if they aren't.
  22. 2 weeks ago waited for 53 Bradway at 20.50 at bus station. Turned up with 53 Meadowhead. Passengers asking for Lowedges/Bradway were told by driver he was over his hours and Meadowhead was last stop. Passengers along the way got on and got off querying destination and had to wait 20- 30 mins in the dark for the next service, young girls etc. If that was my daughter I would have gone barmy at First. First response was driver was instructed to terminate early as over hours. They apologised as experiencing severe staff shortages and no spare driver was available but rest assured they said they are training up newbies at the moment..................
  23. May be connected but on Little Norton Lane just over the main road from Dyche Lane 3 cars had their windscreens put through overnight.
  24. The buyers of our house are using them. I would look at other solicitors
  25. For mobility its the form to fill in from the council. I went into Howden House and completed it there and then and they sent it off to be processed. This took about 3 weeks to get a authorisation letter in the post to take to bus interchange to issue a pass which in turn takes another week or so to come through. Still waiting from going in Tuesday to have mugshot taken.
