My dad worked at hadfields in the garage he passed away in 1992 with lung cancer.When he was first diagnosed with cancer he asked the doctors if it was anything to do with him working with asbestos which he came into contact with all the time but they would'nt say if that was the cause.When he worked at Hadfields they had to have an x ray every year and i remember him saying they found a shadow on his lung and said he must have had pneumonia at some stage my dad thought this might have been the cancer starting the hospital gave him one year to live and he lasted one year after suffering a great deal of pain.We heard later that a couple more men from out of the garage died of cancer too all my dad wanted to know before he died was could it have been working in those conditions with the asbestos that caused his cancer hope this helps you.

Hi Ian hope you are well.My dad passed away in 92 but mum is still with us although she has got severe dementia she still remembers her days in Attercliffe. Say hi to Gary for me only I hav'nt seen him for a while,I still miss the Cliffe as they hold happy memories for me.

Done it thanks to everyone for the advice used Open Office now I have managed to do all my partner's accounts. ---------- Post added 27-08-2013 at 11:24 ---------- Oh by the way I used Apache

Thanks to both of you yes the girl on the other end of the phone was no help at all she was more interested in selling me something. ---------- Post added 22-08-2013 at 16:15 ---------- Yes monkeygirl its a table I use I am not very experienced at the computer and what I did on my last one was to save the document then just changed the figures each year thats why I just wanted something free and easy to use.

i have got a mini mac and things are totally different to my last computer, I want to know which is the best free download for Office only every year I have to print out my husbands accounts which I used to do through Microsoft Office I have had a look and noticed there are a few free ones but I don't know which one is the best and safest for Mac.I rang the Apple store in Meadowhall but was told I can't get a free one I have to buy one of there's which I don't want to do surely there is a free one I wish I had'nt bought this Mac now as things are not as easy as I was told they would be.

I just want to thank Reward Recycling for the prompt removal of my MR2, they were such a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend them even though it upset me to see the car go the money I got for the car paid for the tax on my rover once again thank you ---------- Post added 11-08-2013 at 16:31 ---------- Sorry it is Rewarding Recycling

My mr2 has been on our drive now for a few years now after the head gasket went and we could not afford to have it repaired we are wanting to scrap it but we have been let down by one scrapyard they said they were coming Wednesday or Thursday morning but they never turned up I would just like someone reliable to pick it up also how much we would get for it it's a t bar h reg but as I said it has just been stuck on our drive so it's got lots of cobwebs on it

we have managed to book the Bowery the staff there were very helpfull so once again thanks everyone for the ideas oh and dawn josh we went past the church house at first we did'nt know it was a bar and restraunt until we got nearer it looks very nice inside x

thanks for the advice we enquired about the hop but they don't do saturday nights has anyone been in the Church house behind the cathedral i heard they have a private area

My son is 40 in May and he his coming over from Basingstoke for a get together and we are wanting to know if there is anywhere in the city centre that has a private area might be for about 20 to 30 people we are not bothered about food it will just be for his family and friends to get celebrate it will be for a saturday night just any advice will do at such short notice thanks.

Thanks Tripitaka looks like it was the same people who scammed us he chucked the gold chain on my knee and he showed me a card in his wallet with a picture on it plus as I said he was in a BMW looks like they are doing the rounds he looked so convincing at least we did'nt give him a lot of money but I still feel a fool for being taken in.

Thanks for all the positive feedback we stopped to help this man as we thought we were doing a good turn as for the chain we did'nt exept it for the value its just that the man said have that in return for the some money for some deisel. I knew it was not going to be worth anything because of the weight and it just had 18k stamped on the clasp I actually felt sorry for the man at a closer look the chain is just gold plated because a couple of the links were discoloured.If someone else flagged us down I would just be a little bit more carefull but we would still help if we had'nt been on the slip road we would have gone to the petrol station and fetched him some deisel

On our way to meadowhall going down the slip road onto the motorway from Chapeltown a smartly dressed man flagged us down he had the bonnet up on his BMW so we stopped to see what he wanted he asked if we speaked deutch or french we said no he said he only spoke a little english as he was german he said he had ran out of diesel and had no money on him only a visa card and that was'nt working he threw a gold chain on my knee and said could we give him some money in exchange for the chain alarm bells rang at first because looking at the chain there was no proper stamp on it but he sounded honest enough and he said he had to get to london my partner only had £20 on him so he said he would have that. I knew when we had gone on our way that we had been had by this man so if you are waved to by a well dressed man don't stop. we are left with a cheap piece of tat and a dent in our pride.

Our car was a 2001 ford fiesta, the lady from the hire car company came to collect us in a brand new fiesta so assumed this would be our hire car. When we got to the branch we were given a Hyundai i10 instead.

Yes as this all happened last March everything was sorted the car was deemed a right off and we got paid out for this so by April of last year we thought it was all settled which is when we returned the hire car so after a year it is still ongoing I am waiting to hear if I get any more phone calls in the next week thanks.
