£4.5 million pound to build! you what? just heard that on Calendar, who paid this money?

Although it's nice to Sheffield on the first page of BBC News England there is a more in-depth article on South Yorkshire news (from the drop down menu on the right):

Why they create two articles I don't know but it is nice to see us on BBC News for something else than Burngreave gunnings.

is it, might have to tell my mum to have a go, but shes scared of heights!

saw it last night all light up as I drove into Sheffield - looked fantastic. The view from the top looks great - you can see for miles. For your £6.50 you go slowly round 3 times, so I don't think it's bad value. Just as long as it doesn't wobble I'll be fine.....

It should'nt wobble, there was a guy up a ladder with a big hammer yesterday afternoon hitting the structure in various places.

£6.50 for 13 minutes = £30 per hour! not cheap

Just think of all the trade it will bring to town!!

 

Oh - hang on a bit there's nowhere to park!
