Has anyone lost a cockatiel around the Handsworth area? PM me if you have

We are conducting a funeral tomorrow of a massive Owls fan called Chris Cooper who sadly passed away aged just 57. At Saturday's SWFC v FULHAM match, the family are asking if everyone would join in a minutes applause for Chris in the 57th minute. If you or anyone you know is attending the game, please join in and make it a special occasion for Chris's family. Thanks all.

Ring Kevin at Abbey Lane Removals for a quote. He is very reliable, well priced and a nice bloke 07906 494617 or 01246 622299 used him several times

Kids football is crazy these days. They come up with all these ideas on how to make the England football team, possible world champions, to me they need to start with these youngsters. My idea is that there are no leagues or results until they are at under 16 age group, this gives the coaches a chance to COACH the game of football, without worrying about winning the league or cup. I coach Handsworth under 11s (a club where, unfortunately, winning does matter) my philosophy is to help develop the kids into better footballers, not to bludgeon teams into a 37-0 defeat. If my team look like getting a high score, I suggest, rather than going for goals, they are better off trying to keep the ball and move it quickly, no one from either side takes anything from a 37-0 game and shame on the opposition manager for allowing it to get to that score. Unfortunately whilst we have leagues and managers/parents who insist on winning at all costs, this sort of thing will continue to happen.

We've used Martyn Brown Services before, he was excellent for us.07853075887. Tell him Knighty asked you to call.

I have a lot of contact with care homes due to my work. It is a little longer to travel to it, but I have always been impressed with 'The Glen' on Abbeydale Road South.

Thanks guys, some good advice in there (perhaps give stevroberts idea a miss though) I like the partnership idea mlfc

Was it Frank Ball?

Hi All. I'm looking for some feedback from folk if you don't mind. I very recently set up my own Funeral Directors at Handsworth. Advertising is obviously quite a sensitive thing for a funeral home, I have done some bits on the free sites, in fact I've placed one on the business pages on here and have a facebook page and website, also I have paid to advertise in a couple of magazines locally. Before I spend vast amounts on things like the Sheffield Star and the Yellow pages, I am asking, are these the sort of places you would look, to find such a service??

You could maybe go down to the Dog & Partridge or The Grapes on Trippet Lane in town, they are both full of the Irish, always great places to be.

Does anyone know a good place to get atraditional Turkish Shave in Sheffield please?

Thanks for the info undertaker, although with a name like that I thought you would be well in the know. John Heaths must be doing really well for themselves if they are opening up another branch. With all their branches now they must be carrying out well over a thousand funerals a year in the City. That's big money because I know from experience that they really know how to charge. Good luck to them I say, if they can get away with high charges and people will pay a premium then they will surely continue to grow and expand throughout the City and maybe even beyond. I am a big fan of the one at Wadsley Bridge.

Just heard that John Heaths may be closing down at Pitsmoor and moving their whole operation to the High Greave, could be another rumour though

Not to sure, but undertaker could well be right on this one, I have also heard that it is John Heath & Son who have bought it, but the person who told me this seems to think that they are being backed by the Dignity Group (Don't know how true this is, but it is happening a lot where a supposed family owned business is actually owned by a multi-national, the undertaker gave the classic example when mentioning John Fairest being owned by the national co-op). Anyway whoever buys it I wish them good luck because I know the area round the building has had problems with gangs of youths and drug addicts over the last few months.
