Ball public house, Ecclesfield village

[lakerman 16]

Went past the Ball last week and noticed it was all boarded up again. I was told today that it is now going to be a Tesco store. Another pub gone to the wall. Anyone heard any different?

Can't say I do BUT I know one thing one would have to walk miles now days for a "pub crawl" which is very sad.

Which is healthier: a pub or a supermarket?

 

People become alcoholics and obese. Both major problems for the NHS.

 

As for benefits to the community ...... you tell me.

Very few alcoholics are obese Obesity is by shopping for bad stuff at supermarkets and eating at fast food outlets. Bigger strain on the health care system:P I am neither alcoholic or obese by the way lol

From my memories of the Ball, it must be a small Tesco's going up. Are they taking the chippy and the betting shop as well ? :hihi:

Jesus wept.

 

More chance an alcoholic using a supermarket than a pub.

More of an "urban village" now as Parson Cross/Shiregreen have encroached.

the snobs of Grenoside claim to live in a village, despite living across the road from Foxhill.

Why do they need a Tesco? There's a Co-op across the road and a Morrisons around the corner.

Why, 'cos Tessa wants to take over the world of course!

 

She'll close down the Co-op and Morrions within weeks.
