Oh dear, IDS putting his foot in it. Just like DC when he referred to the immigrants as a swarm. The press will be quick to latch onto this one

Actually, no, everybody does not do it. I hope you are proud of yourself RickyM and I hope your employer has seen this -
Can Sheffield support more asylum seekers?
tasha_78_1 replied to ryder8904's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Looking at the practicalities, there are not enough houses, there are not enough school places for the children already in the country, there are not enough hospital beds or care home places for the existing population. How will this be resolved? -

As a not long retired NHS employee ( in a position where I gave direct care to patients in a critical setting) can anyone tell me when employees such as me would be given the time to do these classes. During non-existent lunch breaks, which when they did exist are only 30 minutes? At the end of a shift, which should have been 8 hours, but often expanded to 9 or 10, and then I just wanted to go home, sleep and then return next day to do the same again? Sometimes, I didn`t even have time for a loo break! Sorry, but just not practical. It will never work. As for going to work when ill, we could have been half dying and still expected to come in to work -
Will you pay another 23p for farmers milk?
tasha_78_1 replied to TJC1's topic in General Discussions
This used to happen in the days of the milkmen who delivered to your door. It`s only become a problem since milk started to be sold in large quantities by supermarkets -
Sheffield Veterans/Armed Forces Day
tasha_78_1 replied to 19IDH's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
The last 3 years has always been held the week before the nationally recognised day -
there`s often space on the side roads around Bramall Lane and Go Outdoors on Hill Street, if you get there early enough

Sheffield Veterans/Armed Forces Day
tasha_78_1 replied to 19IDH's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Why should a national event be moved to make way for another local celebration. The National Armed Forces Day should be held on the National Day and other local events should move to make way for them. -
Sheffield Veterans/Armed Forces Day

It`s National Armed Forces Day today, June 27th. Can anyone tell me why Sheffield Armed Forces Day is held the week before the national day? -
Car parking around children's hospital

The cost of getting a taxi on a daily basis is not an option when your child is hospitalised for any length of time, especially if you do not live in Sheffield -
Sheffield Veterans/Armed Forces Day
tasha_78_1 replied to 19IDH's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
There was a good turnout of veterans and cadets for the Armed Forces Day parade on Saturday. However, public attendance was seriously lacking. We were even asked on the tram into town, why were we in uniform and wearing medals, what was happening today. Why am I surprised at the lack of publicity for the event. Nothing in the Star, nothing on Calendar or Look North and nothing on Radio Sheffield. Also, what a shame the Lord Mayor had obviously not even looked at his speech before that morning. Read out in a monotone voice, with a total lack of enthusiasm and compassion, and so quiet that those of us who were stood towards the back of the Peace Gardens could hear nothing but a mumbling. It was obviously not the fault of the PA system, as we could hear the other two speakers loud and clear. It`s such shame that a great day like this can not get the publicity and the audience it deserves. -
We go to Crete very regularly. Chilled and laid back places to stay are Paleochora (on the South West coast), accessed via Chania, which in itself is a great place to stay as long as you stay in the old town. Also Rethymno old town is very nice. If you really want to get away from it all, Loutro, or Chora Sfakion on the South West coast are great.You can`t get any of these places on a package, but it`s easy enough to book somewhere online. Ryanair do a good flight into Chania. (It`s a 3 hour bus ride from Iraklion)

A question regarding grenoside crematorium
tasha_78_1 replied to Allen's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
We have seen dogs being walked in Hutcliffe Wood, and dog mess at the base of the tree where we commemorate my parents. We have also seen walkers letting their dogs wee on the kerbs where memorial plaques are placed. Sorry to all those responsible dog owners, but I think dogs should not be allowed in these areas as you can`t stop a dog from doing what comes naturally. -
It should be the smoker who shouldnt stand next to me. Not the other way round.

Brain tumour 5 year old taken by parents
tasha_78_1 replied to taxman's topic in General Discussions
If the child had needed a life saving blood transfusion and the parents had refused, the hospital would have applied for him to be made a Ward of Court. This is almost always granted. Put yourself in their shoes, parents of a terminally ill child, what would you do? If you have never been in that situation, I don`t think you can pass judgement on them. -
Brain tumour 5 year old taken by parents

Those who have never been in the same position as the parents will never understand. I have been in that position, I understand what they did perfectly -
Brain tumour 5 year old taken by parents
tasha_78_1 replied to taxman's topic in General Discussions
This is a very sad story and to charge the parents with child abuse would be totally wrong. The boy is extremely ill. Parents of very sick children are desperate and do things that they would normally not do. They will be clutching at straws and will take any chance they can get if it may help their son. I truly feel for them in their predicament and hope they are found soon. What they need is sympathy and understanding, Bonzo77, not charging with a crime. -

There are toilets in M & S, Debenhams, John Lewis in the town centre. At Crystal Peaks there are toilets on the upper and lower levels. -

In there regularly and I`ve never seen any trouble. Have to agree about Sue and Murphy though. It was much better when they were in charge -
Try the Imperial War Museum, they helped me with a WW1 relative

Our cat Lucy escaped from her carrier box yesterday at Hackenthorpe. She was last seen around the Health Centre on Main Street. She is a small adult cat, black with 4 white paws, a white bib and white whiskers. She is very timid. If you see her please will you PM me. Thankyou
