What - there’s people making business owners pay for protection on Ecclesall Road?

The only “decline” is the general fading out of the traditional high street - which is happening everywhere and Ecclesall Road is doing a lot better than other areas in that regard. so there probably are a few more empty shops - as retailers don’t want to pay high rents/rates when they can flog it you direct from a warehouse in donny. there’s still loads going on around there and on Sharrowvale road behind it though. Think it’s one of the least of the cities worries to be honest.

don’t get it - it’s a busy thoroughfare because there’s a lot around there and it’s the main route out to some big suburbs. it’s also got loads of well used shops and bars and restaurants . What is the problem?

From childhood to late 20s seemed steady away. the last 15 years seems like about 3 years in my head. find it a bit frightening at times - feels like sand running out of an egg timer.

Just found a star article saying it’s changing hands.

Been shut for at least a week now - no activity inside. Anyone know what’s happening with it?

Like a lot of things / it was sold on convenience for the customer - pretty cool if you just needed some chewing gum or a paper. but that wasn’t the real reason - they wanted you to do some of the work they would normally have to pay someone for - for free. So the thin end of the wedge became a job for you to do in pretty much every mini supermarket in the country and a good proportion of the larger ones also.

What happened that was so bad and how many different t social workers were involved ?

😆😆😆😆

What a stupid comment.

Each to their own but i find it hard work these days. lots of posts just arguing over media stories designed to make people argue. bit tiresome.

The score line flattered? I don’t know what game you were watching. wednesday had 30 attempts at goal in 90mins. Plymouth had 5 (of which was 1 was on target). Wednesday completely dominated throughout - the score line flattered Plymouth if anything.

it’s hard work if you’re in that frame of mind. i struggle a lot with mental health - nothing too serious but i worry and whittle and overthink. if I do something completely different to my normal routine sometimes when I’m doing that I find myself thinking “what have you been worrying about you daft get” maybe just do something you’ve thought about doing and not done - a visit somewhere - a film - a walk somewhere. I know none of that’s a permanent fix or owt but might take edge off.

St Vincent Catholic Church in crookes is relatively new
