I've just found a load of photos of Abrafract in the attic. Here's the links https://postimg.cc/2qqCnHcC https://postimg.cc/RNVhNTBZ https://postimg.cc/7GnPL5tz https://postimg.cc/SnYyMTtk https://postimg.cc/rKPVzXjf https://postimg.cc/3W9J5Dv5 https://postimg.cc/v4CZ2F64 https://postimg.cc/LYp6RtDR https://postimg.cc/JybMTyLF https://postimg.cc/DmfngyYC https://postimg.cc/y3NKYvZq

I'm not an ex employee but my dad was an accountant at Abrafract. Memories of the place: Going there as a child in the 1960's and being given sweets from Bassett's by Miss Millson one of the secretaries. My dad's treat to me was to give me sixpence to get a hot chocolate from the drink vending machine in the units to the left of the entrance. The smell of the place - hot refractory bricks have a very distinct and not unpleasant smell. Whenever I smell them now I am transported back in time. It was nearly always hot inside the factory. Sorry it's not much but it was over 50 years ago.

Guessing you've not shopped at Aldi much. Here's what I bought Garden Incinerator (which I needed) £10.00 Freesat HD receiver/dish etc £15.00 Camping mats £3.00 They were all very good and an excellent price. So yes - 'Good stuff' Have you had a bad experience buying from Aldi?

It was the ISS - it was to the west of Sheffield at that time/date and was visible for about 1-2 minutes. You can see it's path here: http://www.isstracker.com/historical Enter the following to see where it was: 2014-03-24 09:50:07-0000 Being to the West of the UK and in the morning it would have been strongly lit up by the sun - morning and evening are the best time to see it.

Their £15 HD-Freesat kits were great -dish, cables, reciever and satellite locator for the price of a satellite locator. You had to get there on the first day for the good stuff. I got there at 10.00am and already most of the good stuff had nearly run out, the next day all that was left was the rubbish.

Well I see that before the crime happened the police were informed . . who no doubt ignored it in case it made their crime figures look bad. Nowadays you're in a lose-lose situation with scummy kids. Report them to the police and you're ignored. Take them on yourself and you get stabbed or arrested. No surprise they're out of control, they're untouchable.

We could probably cure cancer in a year or two if only 85 people coughed up half their savings. The richest 85 people in the world are worth 1 trillion pounds. UK Cancer research spending is roughly 500 million per year. That means that if those 85 people gave away half their wealth (500 billion) we could have the equivalent of 1,000 years worth of UK cancer research money to crack the problem. I'd imagine that increasing the budget by 1,000 times would get some pretty fast results. But they probably would rather keep their cash than improve the lives of billions of people so I'm not too hopeful.

It doesn't sound like a rip-off to me. You would have to pay line rental (assuming you have a land-line phone) anyway so you're not really paying any more for that and I'm guessing the £60.00 is for the installation of a wireless router which sounds like a fair price if someone is going to come over, configure it and connect your laptop to it. The internet part is free. I certainly wouldn't turn it down. In fact I use plusnet - I've found them great and I get £6.00 a month off my bill forever because I've referred 6 people. A friend of mine actually gets paid to have Plusnet broadband because he's referred so many people, so every month he gets a direct debit into his account instead of having to pay them.

Shame about the place. I have happy childhood memories of Anniversary/Birthday meals there. Although I seem to recall that it was a shocking place for getting zapped by static electricity on all those brushed steel/aluminium(?) hand rails on the stairs. It seems a shocking waste of a fantastic location. I bet the view from the top floors is amazing.

So what was the incident?

Careful with what you say on here. Best thing is just to encourage your friend to report this if it's true.

The Masonic Chapel in the cathedral. The saints are all local bigwigs and businessmen from 19th century Sheffield and most of them are carrying various masonic symbols.

From the link below it looks like it doesn't matter. I bought an EOS1000D as my first DSLR and it was perfect for learning how to use an SLR. Really, it's the lens not the camera body that is the important thing. Personally I'd save money on the camera and spend the savings on a better lens. http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-600d-vs-Canon_EOS_550D

Well that still sounds very strange, I think there's more to this than meets the eye. Anyway just treat this as a lesson and do the following: Contact Paypal/Credit Card companies etc Delete your Facebook, like I said before it's an identity thief's paradise.

Sorry but it's a fact that most security breaches occur when other people have access to someone's computer. I worked in IT Security for 5 years. I understand however that this isn't what happened to you. That post was a reply to a different post, not yours. I find it a little hard to understand what happened in your particular case but from what I can make out it sounds as though someone came on chat and said they were a facebook employee and wanted your password, which you gave to them. You can't get someone's password just by having their email address.
