New station for t' Monorail. 

Still not available for bookings...

Went to see the newly reformed Crookes Brass Band play testerday at Wesley Hall in Crookes yesterday. Was a fantastic performance. Highly entertaining and a good range of music was played. They're looking to do more performances in the near future. I'd highly recommend going to see them if you get the opportunity.  They're also looking for new members of all abilities to join them...

Maybe one of theses high paid executives could explain how 73 homes built on Arbourthorne  have cost the council over 15 million pounds . 

Where did you find out this information?

Thing is that top execs could quite easily go into the private sector and earn a lot more than £250k. We need quality running this fine city and have to pay accordingly.  I know tradesmen earning £200k a year with nothing like the levels of responsibility of people like KJ.

Does anyone know of any child friendly Indian restaurants with high chairs in Sheffield? Me and the missus are wanting to go out for a curry Saturday tea time with our 2 year old daughter. TIA

Not been for a while but I seem to remember that Akbars in West One have some high chairs. They're open early doors from 5pm too. 

My mate and stepdaughter both had theirs sorted here.

and who cares?

 

i'm Sheffield throughbred but this means nothing 

 

if anything relish its a poison 

I care. I regard Hendo's as part of Sheffields fabric and part of our culture. I think it's tremendous that the building has been restored to its former glory.  And Hendo's relish is just the best too...I've introduced people all over the world to it and they love it too. 

Looks tremendous... a big part of Sheffields history and culture. 

Give me London Road/ Abbeydale Road any time of day.  Better boozers and better restaurants IMO although I do quite like Mount Lebanon and Maveli.

True. One pub in Blackpool called Ma Kelly's on the South Shore  charge £1.80 a pint for John Smith's, Fosters, Strongbow. Yet other pubs  charge  anything from £3.25 to £6.50 a pint! 

I wouldn't pay a quid a pint for any of that rubbish.  Absolutely yuk. Rather pay £5/pint and have a decent pint than 3 pints of cheap, tasteless nastiness, but each to their own.

There are still too many pubs for the few that can afford to use them, the price of a pint used to well within the reach off  the working man (sorry ladies, I can’t recall the female equivalent). 🍺

My missus drinks pints...

Just been sent this article off Facebook.... after 2 disappointing curries this weekend near Bradford, I'm definitely off there next weekend...

Beloved Indian restaurant, Manzil Spice - Bar & Restaurant, located on Ecclesall Road has undergone a significant transformation since November 2023 with new management and a team of chefs from a renowned restaurant that some of you will be familiar with, Mangla, which sadly closed its doors in 2022.

"We are thrilled to welcome such talented chefs to our team. Their wealth of experience and passion for Indian cuisine perfectly aligns with our vision to reclaim our status as a culinary landmark in the city. The high ratings on Google reviews and TripAdvisor are a testament to the exceptional dining experience we are providing and in response to the overwhelming success, we have decided to extend our opening hours and are now open on Mondays."

The curry house was on Spital Hill for almost 40 years and built up a huge following for its traditional Indian and Kashmiri dishes which you can now enjoy at Manzil Spice. From their signature aromatic lamb and chicken handi, prepared with a traditional Balti recipe, to their Manzil Mix Platter and house specialties like the creamy butter chicken and fiery chicken jalfrezi. There is something for everybody.

The change comes as a breath of fresh air for patrons who have long cherished the authentic homemade flavours and ambiance of Mangla. "I have fond memories of dining at Mangal, and I can't wait to see what the chefs have in store for us," remarked a longtime customer.

What about this little imp(?) hidden in a tree in the Winter Gardens — seems to freak everyone out when they see it!

 

 

 

This little imp has moved.... maybe a new hunt the imp game devised by the staff...

You'll never know whether or not that's true though will you?  Children and grandchildren can be a pain at times but to know and care for someone far more than you care for yourself is an incredible gift.

Nah, not for me at all. This world isn't a nice place and it will only get worse. I also prefer to work less hours and travel. 

I fathered none. Best decision I ever made.

Does anyone know if they are still open on sharow vale road!

I’ve noticed a new place on ecelsfield road with similar name 

I might be wrong, but I think they now only do takeaways.

If it costs him £2 in petrol there and back to the rank and £1 overhead costs (maintenance, insurance etc) plus 10% VAT that's £3.30. £7-£3.30 = £3.70 profit. That's not bad for 10 minutes' work. It's the equivalent of £22.20 per hour, almost double minimum wage. 

When you're self employed £22.20 per hour isn't enough, even if you got a guaranteed 8 hours at that rate. You've got to cover sickness, van, fuel, holidays, pension, tools, clothes, accountants etc. I know cleaners who charge more than that... and rightly so. As a tradesman,  I'd look at minimum of £250/day and ideally £300-£400 / day. The minimum wage shouldn't be used as a barometer for good pay... it isn't.  It's an absolute minimum and most people will need support from the state if they are living on that sort of money.

Primark do Greggs branded clothing.

I've got some Greggs Crocs. My mates son bought 'em for me as a joke. But they're brilliant. Super comfy, ideal for the beach and weigh nothing in your suitcase.  My missus can't stand the sight of them but I wear them frequently. 

Maybe Green King or Spoons need to sort a strategic partnership involving a micropub in every branch of Greggs so they've got the entire golden Mile including the Moor sorted. Some reyt pint of Ruddles/sausage roll combo deals on offer.
