missflirtuk   10 #85 Posted June 28, 2011 I'm replying to the OP not you, they don't mention job losses, just empty buildings, which doesn't bother me. The city centre is full of chavs, smackheads, wasters etc, why should i care when the powers that be don't deal with such types, i never see these in Meadowhall, so i'm fine going there, thanks.  Edit: That was at mickey finn. Thank you but I am none of those you mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jpowls   10 #86 Posted June 28, 2011 So would have you gone down the road of further spending cuts, rather than the tax rises?  I accept the need to balance the books, but in order to do this, realistically, you have to ensure the economy carries on operating successfully. The VAT hike might increase tax revenues at one end, but it can significantly hit tax returns in another part of the economy.

Blue Moon   10 #88 Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Just read TJ Hughes are to file for administration. Not sure what the building was prior to TJs but its a big building that will join castle house in Sheffield empty buildings of shame.  I'm old enough to remember TJ Hughes when the place first opened as Walsh's - that's when the City had six great Department Stores... Most people were in employment back then and the City Centre was the place to go to do most shopping. It's a real shame what is happening...

laineyiow   10 #92 Posted June 28, 2011 I remember it as Rackhams when I moved to Sheffield in '81, maybe the House of Fraser after that ....?  I remember when it was Walsh's.  So many business going into administration. Does make you wonder where it will all end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

megalithic   10 #95 Posted June 28, 2011 Very apt username you have there...  I Buy clothes occassionally from TJ's, they're considerably cheaper and better quality than other High Street stores IMO. I also use their cafe for drinks, bit expensive but still a good quality cuppa in most cases.  Well don't take it out of me just because you can't afford Meadowhall.
