  1. There's an interesting analysis of the recent Twittering about this topic here written by Marc Owen Jones I've posted it via thread reader, for those without a Twitter account https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1506210844190859265.html Opening Tweet, (the contents of which sadly don't surprise me at all.) "I have done an analysis of those responding to #NazaninZaghariRatcliffe's interview, specifically focusing on those calling her an 'ungrateful cow' for not showing enough deference or gratitude to the UK government. The Brexit partisanship on the topic is startling. Read on!"
  2. This is one of the better articles I've seen regarding offering aid. https://yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/refugees-how-can-we-help/?fbclid=IwAR0Ga7tiU88fH4e5IicAnsPnavjW8sk6Ns3VWMOli9vz3xucaD8Nne0O5eE The first link is particularly worth a read too. "If you are in doubt about the potential harm of unsolicited donations" https://logcluster.org/document/guidelines-unsolicited-bilateral-donations-ubds
  3. Anna, I wonder if you have seen this Twitter thread by Carole Cadwaladr, which may help answer some of your questions. Anyone interested needs to read it all, including the links and embedded articles. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1499482812889681921.html
  4. The concept of including the inner ring road within the scheme seems a little strange. How much pressure will that put on the smaller road just outside it, which were clearly not designed to carry through traffic?
  5. If it's of interest to anyone, I braved the Buxton weather and nipped up the hill to Totley Pike layby to catch a view as the train left Great Rocks Dale. I failed to catch it on any of the visits to Buxton station, but did manage some photos at Buxton sidings. There are pics on My Flickr Account (work backwards from this link), or on a Facebook album
  6. From the company website; "We travel through the East Midlands towards Sheffield and at Dore Junction we turn onto the beautiful Hope Valley for a journey through the stunningly beautiful Peak District National Park offering amazing views of Mam Tor and the surrounding moors, at Chinley we join the freight only line through Peak Forest as our engine works hard up the steep gradients to Buxton for an afternoon break of around three hours. The return journey takes a different route as we traverse the line through Dove Holes and Whaley Bridge to Stockport where we pass around the suburbs of Manchester before joining the Hope Valley line and retracing the outward journey through the Peak District." If anyone finds the timings, particularly for the Buxton end, please post them up.
  7. Annie, do you have a link anywhere for that comment please. It could clear up some queries over where I now live Thanks
  8. Extremely sorry to hear this news via another source. I feel privileged to have known her for 30 odd years, from the days way back at No.10.
  9. Arnold Laver might be worth a try. I've bought oak off then, and they did have other woods in stock at the time, though nothing like the range they used to carry. Their website claims Beech is available, but I guess may only be to order.
  10. Cheers for that, glad I re-visited this thread as I've an appointment next month and was planning on catching it.
  11. Alternatively, if you're mobile and coming from the right direction, park in the car park at Hillsborough Morrisons, and walk down to the bus stop outside B&Q, where the H1 passes every half hour. It's the ferry service bus between RHH & NGH; stops at the clock tower at NGH.
  12. I suspect that might depend on whether the P in PCN is for Penalty or Parking. 😉 Might be worth visiting Pepipoo or MSE and having a read of the appropriate board.
  13. Are you withing 10 miles of here https://www.gardenbuild.com/products/pea-gravel-10mm
  14. Only just spotted this thread as I've moved away from Sheffield. Would you mind dropping me a message with a rough price and size of offcut please, as I'm in the market for another small slice myself. I've previously used a company on Sheepbridge industrial estate, but the one you used might be easier. Which one was it? I know about, but haven't been to Designer Surfaces on Fawncett St as friend owns a business nearby. Thanks
  15. At first glance, I'd suggest you may have a problem disputing the ticket; It looks like Chesterfield allow free BB parking on the street but not carparks. That said, scan and host all documentation and post it on Pepipoo, where you will get a more comprehensive explanation of your options. Good Luck
  16. Did your plates start with M and end with S, if so, some have been found on Bolehill Rugby field, apparently, up near the road end. See Facebook "Crookes Community"
  17. Some years ago I bought a few Cortina bits from a chap in Sheffield, but I've lost his contact details due to a house move. The gent concerned had quite large stocks of old Mk 3 Cortina parts and lived over Shiregreen way somewhere. Does anyone have any thoughts please, but obviously please don't post his details on an open forum. I'm actually looking for an ignition barrel and key, but it's quite a specific style, not one of the reproductions readily available via ebay. I can supply photos, and further details, if anyone thinks they may be able to assist. Thanks
  18. That would depend if you want one to the North Sea, Irish Sea, Rother Valley boating lake or the canal system. Are you looking for a weighbridge? If so, try HERE

  20. Here you go, now made the Beeb https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-46193360

We supported an annual event called Matmi Jaloos in Sharrow. This was a religious march which took some time to pass through including blocking some parts of Abbeydale Road around 3pm. It was great to see how supportive people were in waiting, slowing down, giving us plenty of room so that the march passed safely for everyone. The type of work we love doing and it made me proud to come from South Yorkshire the way people behaved. Thank you- Inspector Fitzgibbons
  22. As mentioned previously, it's not a fine, rather it's a speculative invoice. That said, it's legal and winnable in County Court by Parking Eye in the absence of a viable defence, or the recipient ignoring all paperwork. They are one of the more litigious companies, so ignoring is a bad choice. First port of call would be the club.
