I've never been in a Gregg's.

I can't understand these hatred laws, I only hate one person and he's English and  white, the rest Immigrants included I just don't like so why is dislike and hate bundled up into one

Vet all prospective tenants, it doesn't work thinking bad tenants will learn from good tenants.

I heard the the Tridents blue paper touch paper got wet !

Don't accept anymore Channel immigrants crossings.

His manager once approached me for information on historic areas of Sheffield, for ideas for new songs for an album he was making.

I just cannot understand the cod lips,face piercing, multiple tattoos on their chests and necks. I know it's their decision but do they think of how they will look in old age, I known I shouldn't but I avoid them in shops.

Never rated him as a singer

Thank you for your responses.

 

I have been sending emails to our MP since 2021, her officer would tell me every time that it would be passed on to the council who would then call me after a couple of weeks to pick it up but the same lack of actions would happen. The last response I got from the MP office after I begged them to do something about it was the following on Sept 2022: 

 

"Good Morning,

Thank you for your email.

I am sorry to hear that you are still experiencing these ongoing issues. I understand this is frustrating for you.

I must explain to you that G***, as with any MP, has no power over local Councils. MPs are elected to represent their constituents in Parliament and hold the Government to account on national issues. Therefore, whilst we can contact the Council on behalf of constituents and try to push for resolutions in cases like yours, we are not in a position to instruct the Council or manage complaints about or for them. 

However, you do have 3 local Councillors who are also elected representatives, and they may be better suited to help you with this. A councillor's primary role is to represent their ward and the people who live in it. Councillors provide a bridge between the community and the council."

 

I had already contacted my local councillor so many times and every time, she would promise to get back to me after speaking to the office manager but at no point have I ever gotten a response back from her. I personally have requested to speak to a manager so many times but still yet to receive a call.

 

I tried to raise the issue to the ombudsman but I couldn't do so because I have no long ongoing complaint reference number due to the council consistently closing them down with my permission.

 

It's literally torture, as it's affecting our sleep, work, even coming back home from work trying to relax and watch TV but the constant loud music ringing in your ears.

I know exactly how you feel, the council denied getting any reports from me covering over eighteen months of incident until we told them how come we have them on a floppy disk I'm now holding, reaction was instant, on we've found them. Still nothing was done, during the time we endured her, four close neighbours near her moved out again council disregarded their complaints too.

That’s a really sad story hope you’re happy now vmam. 

We both loved our maisonette and we loved Gleadless Valley until the council ruined it. We now live in a two bed bungalow ten miles away, brilliant neighbours, no out of control children and teenagers, no out of control dogs at the side of what we reluctantly left it's like heaven, I forgot to mention our nuisance neighbour used to pour buckets of urine off her veranda and down on to ours,  you can imagine the smell of stale urine, reported it to council, two women came out one went to try to speak to the neighbour and the other stepped on to our veranda, the snell was still strong then the official uttered these words " I can't smell anything as I have a cold" they went, we never had any feed back , we asked for our veranda to be steamed cleaned, no response after three requests, so we cleaned it ourselves.

We had the same problem for over twenty years, we filled in diaries only to be told after three years we should be using official diaries, three years wasted there.  The nuisance tenant above us flooded our bedroom over twelve times twice on the same evening, no compensation or help from the council. Sheffield had constant rows with a progression of boyfriends, she was a drug user, she stopped up all night she also kept her toddler up with her, we had a recorder installed and it did record her washing machine going after three A.M, when the council listened to the recording we were amazed the council official said " it sounds like a car going past " 

Sheffield was arrested for threatening a woman with a twelve inch kitchen knife, result she was locked up but put on probation. I was quite obvious that the council were not going to do anything about her. In 2021 other council actions with other tenants gave us the push to leave our maisonette after 54 years. The council will not help anybody but themselves.

I lived at no. 5 Archdale Place in the early 50's and went to Standhouse school just up the road. Mr Rackham, Miss Lant are a couple of teachers I can recall. We sometimes used to listen to a radio program,, detective serial I think which was "piped" around the classrooms! Mr Rackham used to march us in military style from the playground into the school and always carried his cane , just in case! I seem to remember some buildings at the bottom of the rear playground which I think may have been air raid shelters?

Remember the upstaires Barber on Saturdays and the short back and sides. Fairleigh shops? Fishing pond and all that frogspawn. my two elder sisters used to scare me when we went on the Manor fields with Ghost stories about Mary Queen of Scots, Castle and secret tunnels.....

There was a guy who made paper Kites on Faileigh anyone remember him?

I was married in St Swithuns Church in 1968 I think it is no longer?

Is the School still there?

I well remember the kite man, wasn't it October / November time when he sold them? Fairleigh was part of my route to St Theresa's school.

His mother took the Coronation  Oath seriously in 1953 in which she made a pact with god which is why she never abdicated,  The very fact his mother conducted her duties for  the whole World to see two days before she died vindicates her decision not to abdicate.  

How can you make a pact with something you can't see ? Sheffield still suffered from old age.

My question is why is this animal still in the UK? 

Because this country is run by do-gooders, just look at most of the crimes that are committed here and decide for yourself just who's committing them.

Most people alive today have lived,gone to school with,worked with ,been served by,been treated by,been cared for by,had a taxi driven by first and second generation immigrants.

Irish,West Indians,Ugandan Indians,Jews,Pakistanis,Indians, and numerous others have arrived here over the last 70 years and largely assimilated into our country.

By all means let’s see the Government tackle illegal immigration (HaHa).but other than that get real

I've no truck to the people you mention If they work, it's the ones coming by the thousands with their hands out, just for the record I had a Pakistani friend at school from Lahore, I've worked with Arabs from Aden, Egypt, Jamaicans, Italians, Irish and Poles and everyone were hard workers, l got on with everyone of them.

I've collected a few more of The Pride Of Eckington's classics for your edification:

 

 

Anyone who is arrested from any foreign country should be deported...without a trial.

 

I use the local taxi firm in Eckington, all local drivers and I can talk to the drivers without having to listen to eastern music or not understanding what they are saying.

 

What do you refuse to watch on tv - adverts showing hardly any white actors.

 

Sat outside Sainsbury's door was a middle eastern man begging for money, just why do the authorities allow these people spoil a once decent area.

 

Should heterosexuals march to show how proud we are?

 

When labour came to my door canvassing for votes, I asked why only immigrants were getting all the empty properties, I told him I didn't want to live in an African village.

 

We lived in the same council Maisonette for fifty four years, it was brilliant then the council put Immigrants in 16 of the 20 Maisonettes, rubbish everywhere, grassed areas dug up to plant corn, cooking on the pavement.

 

Hedgehogs...I'm sick of them, they crap all over the lawn and if you tread in it without seeing it, it ends up on the carpet in the house.

 

I've never used or had a wallet...I never carry more than a tenner as I never want to buy anything that costs over a tenner.

Fame at last, if you have trolled through posts it shows your bleeding heart, don't comment unless you have lived among immigrants.

I'm in the same frame mind, there's no respite from these cooking programmes, Saturday and Sunday too, " Celebrity Prisoners : How to cook a cake with a file inside" I'm waiting for that one. All the utensils are brand new the " celebrities?" look as though they exist on going out for meals or takeaways.

You've been conned.  Don't listen to so much Tory propaganda and then only believe a quarter of what they tell you.

If it was only £1,000 I'd still stop it.

The answer is simple stop throwing money at boat people, don't give them anything free accomodation, mobile phones, iPads or money but give all the money saved, billions,  it to our cash strapped councils 

Vera started off as a decent series, sadly the wokes spoilt it, young detective with half an arm abs part of Vera's team, would that really happen ? filling it with black actors, last night was a case in point, I've never seen so many men working in a chip shop, usually it's the owner and the rest are women and the large black man working there, never seen that in my life. No research done.

Fools and horses is being shown all day every weekend, just to much.

Did they have a daughter called  Jean ?

The police, the council and the media are all scared to death to be called racist but it's ok to let our young girls be raped by Asian men, criminals from Europe are also backed away from, lawyers that cry out racism and human rights need to be cured, anyone who is arrested from any foreign country should be reported with or without a trial.

Has anyone else noticed a particular increase in barber shops around the city? For example, in Crosspool, there are now 2, 3 on Crookes and 5 in Broomhill, as well as several popping up around the city centre, such as the top of Church Street and on Leopold Street. Barber's shops are great, it's nice that men have an outlet just as us ladies have outlets with salons. I am however puzzled why there are so many sprouting up so close to each other. What's more, some of them never seem to have any customers but have very expensive looking fittings. I have seen commentary elsewhere in the country about affluent towns and villages having a plethora of barber's shops sprouting up yet sat empty with expensive cars parked outside. What's everyone else's thoughts? 

It's same in Eckington, within 100 yards there's around five barbershops with no customers. Don't the police find this strange ?

I asked my wife to get two watches fitted with new batteries, this was while she was at Crystal Peaks this morning, she went to the stall close to the escalator, she gave the two watches to the saleswoman, one an Seconda which cost around £30, for a battery my wife was quoted £26 and the other one , a Rotary, this cost me £100 and the saleswomen quoted for a new battery £35, my wife did say that both quotes were to expensive, the assistant then said for the price " we clean the watch and it's guaranteed" for what it was guaranteed for who knows, my wife declined both prices and went into the market at the Peaks and got both watches fitted with new batteries for £4 each.

A new video has  been released celebrating one of Sheffields greatest treasures follow the link below

You should try to look and the fantastic carving on the pearl scales, the executor of the work got paid a fantastic fee for his masterpiece, over a £1,000 which was an absolute fortune.
