Zarniwoop Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It's simple, they knew that they would be working on Thornsett road, but not being clairvoyent they didn't know an ambulance would be needed on the other road. We used to get people on here complaing about council gritting and saying a private company could do a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzijlstra Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 My thoughts are with the homeless at this time This is a lovely charity and the socks really are great: https://pairyoursocks.co.uk/ donating to the Archer project directly is a good way of helping as well.

hackey lad Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Ah yes... that famous lack of interest in the safety and wellbeing of children that was the 1970s. It brings a tear of nostalgia to the eye so it does. :huh::huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naive Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 That tweet is just daft - why would it be a bad thing to keep access available to areas where work is being undertaken? The stuck ambulance is just being used as a daft comparison. The bad thing is the prioritisation of the profits of Amey over the smooth running of the rest of the city. This council are becoming a disgrace with their Amey arse licking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 For years, I can remember the winter threads always having a heavy jokey/sarcastic slant, and were a brilliant, engaging and therapeutic read. Yes, some of the posts were very informative and helpful, which is great but the really important stuff always went in a sticky, so it didn't get missed. I wanted to post on this thread very early this morning but was put off by the post saying the thread should be left for information purposes only. This has never been the case before, it seems quite a big change in policy that has existed for years on this forum. Sheffield people are sarcastic, it's part of the way of life here, and countless past threads are a beautiful testament to that. If we can't have a laugh about things in this thread and have to go to the 'joke' section to do that, then, seriously, it's spoiling what has been the nature of this forum for years. It certainly put me off posting hours ago. I'd have probably have made a dozen posts in this thread today by now, in previous years. Agreed. In times past I would spend two or three hours per evening browsing the forum. The wit and sarcasm was great entertainment. These days I look in...and have gone again in less than ten minutes.

Funky_Gibbon Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) :huh::huh: Just pointing out that just because things worked a certain way in the 70s or earlier when you were kids doesn't mean that those things were right or are how things should work now. It was getting very Four Yorkshiremen in here. And to make my post vaguely on topic, the gritters have been out and about in Wincobank in the past few hours. At 10pm last night the roads (including Jenkin Road) were sheets of ice and snow. They now appear to be clear, even the side roads. Good job gritters! And according to Travel South Yorkshire buses should be running up the hill and on those side roads again in the morning. Edit: And 3 hours later the roads are covered again. Damn you snow!
