  1. Here you go They are resident in Sheffield as well; I think sometimes seen round Nether Edge. See Also this link
  2. Well OP's Last Activity on the forum was; Yesterday @ 23:17, so it looks like he/she's not terribly bothered either; I guess I was wasting my time.
  3. The last time I used them they were still in Wombwell, so it's a while ago, but they did a cracking job on my old Ducati
  4. Are you sure you can't just buy replacement handles? Alternatively my preferred chromers are over in Mexborough https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=precision+chrome+plating+mexborough&npsic=0&rflfq=1&rlha=0&tbm=lcl&ved=0CCgQvS4wAGoVChMIqO7RsOqtyAIVA2sUCh1IagA9&rlfi=hd:;si:8952969673813178088
  5. These Lights? I must admit, I didn't know there was a camera there. Assuming there is to be a prosecution, the Registered Keeper will receive a letter within 14 calendar days of the alleged offence asking them to identify the driver. This must be replied to; if not, the penalty is quite severe. It may be combined with a letter offering a course, or offer of fixed penalty etc. if the RK is the driver. Assuming you are the keeper, and your address is correct on your V5C (Go and check it, if you are the RK); you should be able to rest easy after 14 days have passed if you've heard nothing. If you're sure there is a camera there, and you were definitely flashed, and the RK doesn't receive a letter, then it might be worth contacting the relevant body to endure that it hasn't got lost in the post; N.B. wait until the full 14 days are up. Don't believe everything you read on the internet, including my comments above, without verifying them yourself first; it could have been written by anyone, just like me . p.s. See Here for a list of Sheffield red light cameras.
  6. I know what you mean, but again the solution would need extra trained staff = more money. I suspect the "Booking In" isn't admin; more a staff and bed shortage in A&E, which in turn is partly caused by a bed shortage in the hospital, some of which is caused by patients waiting for prescriptions from the pharmacy before discharge etc etc. I've seen this quite a bit, admittedly at a different hospital in a different city (Stockport); My Dad has been a frequent visitor due to a heart complaint. The longest we've had to wait was 55 minutes after the 999 call following a suspected heart attack. This was after he had been discharged too soon, the previous day, due to a bed shortage. In this case the call handler didn't stay on the line as they expected a fast attendance. When I called back to see why no-one had arrived, I was just told that someone was on their way, but with no ETA. When I called back a second time, after 45 minutes, they got stroppy with me. Eventually some wonderful staff turned up from Glossop, quite a long way away, so they were unfamiliar with the area and couldn't find the address; they had been given wrong details. Fortunately it all worked out OK in the end. If someone had just been honest with me and said that there would be a major delay, I could have driven there myself in 10 minutes or less; obviously with a suspected MI the most important thing is to get a paramedic/doctor to the patient, hence not wanting to delay things by me providing the transport.
  7. There's a web site for it HERE The park is in Thorne, Doncaster I believe.
  8. Mighty Clean, if you are new to this forum, you might not realise that some folks who post here and claim to understand the law may be slightly mistaken in their views. I do accept that there are some valid points raised on this thread, but by no means all of them. I really would suggest that you re-visit post 16 on this thread. The folks over there (at least those with a with a high posting count) actually do understand what they are talking about. Look out for hcandersen, Mr Mustard, DancingDad, and Incandescent amongst others.
  9. As per Kidley's suggestion, head for THIS FORUM on Pepipoo, register with them and post up scanned copies of both sides of the tickets and any other correspondence. Make sure you anonymise them first by blanking out anything referring to your own personal details, registration, case numbers etc. You will likely receive help from genuine experts in the field.
  10. If they were at fault, surely you should be claiming off their insurance not yours, though you should tell your insurance company "for information only". You did exchange details with them I presume.
  11. Purely going by Google maps, between your route and the Snake, there's little in it distance wise, but via Castleton is about 15 minutes longer duration. I'd concur with that roughly, as I travel from S10 to Disley at least once a week, and that takes a tiny shade under the hour on a Saturday afternoon. There's less chance of getting stuck behind a wagon though if you go via Winnats, due to the weight restrictions, so it sometimes more or less balances out. And yes Jaylou, it is a fairly stress free drive. It also might give you more confidence in your night driving abilities; unlike the Snake, a mobile does seem to work all of the route if that's what's bothering you. (before some pea-brain jumps in, I'm not advocating using it whilst driving. ) Google Link but I think it's a bit optimistic on the travel times earlier on in the day.
  12. Whichever way you decide to commute, be it train, bus, or car, it's going to cost quite a bit per month. Why not invest a small proportion of that money with a good sympathetic driving instructor to give you some "after dark" driving lessons on unlit roads. Hopefully that will give you the confidence to drive over the Snake and enjoy it, just like the rest of us. (Watch the 50MPH speed limit though. :-) ) You'll be fine when you get used to it, but do research public transport as well for over the winter. Both Snake and Woodhead close due to snow from time to time; the ones who get caught out by the weather tend to be the over confident ones.
  13. Not just the Hallamshire. My Dad's had to wait for up to 1o hours or more at Stepping Hill. It seems to be a major issue in many hospitals sadly.
  14. I don't think the OP is in America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%27s_Law_Dictionary I should stick with a solicitor Fabgirl.
  15. Bilge, I was struggling myself, and am posting this on behalf of a friend; I'm not a member myself. David told me it is open from 10 am Sunday for the open day, but I'll try and get confirmation later. If you've got an interesting vehicle, I'm sure it would be welcome. It's the same weekend as Rotherham show, so it should make a full day out for anyone interested. I was out there yesterday evening; the entrance road isn't obvious, but continue up behind the car wash and it's the last building on the left, well beyond the Candlelight unit in the following link. Look out for the green tank engine in the distance. Google Street View Link If you do Facebook, they have a page HERE Which says they are providing, free transport from Rotherham Interchange, I assume in one of the old buses. ---------- Post added 12-09-2015 at 14:57 ---------- Just been informed open tomorrow 10.00>16.00
  16. If you've nothing on this weekend and have an interest in old vehicles, why not pop over to the South Yorkshire Transport Museum Open Day on Sunday 13th Sept. It's at; Unit 9 Waddington Way Aldwarke ROTHERHAM S65 3SH Google map Link; Quite near Parkgate retail park; https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/9+Waddington+Way,+Rotherham,+South+Yorkshire+S65+3SH/@53.4484583,-1.3368627,15.75z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x4879769784978a07:0x76eff5749435c06c _______
  17. Seems no-one hurt, though the police are looking for the driver; https://twitter.com/DerbyshireRPU/status/642025825827749888/photo/1
  18. Happy to assist. They seemed pleasant enough chaps; came round to give me a quote, but it never did appear.
  19. Is it these chaps? http://www.double-glazers.co.uk/yorkshire/sheffield/s-i-windows/
  20. Meksta, your inbox is full. I have the paper waiting for you as well as a PM ready to send when you've cleared your messages. I did try replying to the original thread, but the message board has just appended my reply to my last post rather than adding a new one and bringing it back up to the top of the the board again so you would notice it.
  21. 218 Google Maps, followed by Schedule explorer Which might actually be wrong Hulleys timetable shows as the 273/274/275
  22. I can supply a full copy of the Guardian, but some of the number puzzles will have been done; the main crossword's still untouched though. Available for collection in Crookes, or I might be able to drop it off if I'm out on the bike round your way if you PM me your address. ---------- Post added 06-09-2015 at 21:06 ---------- Meksta, your inbox is full.

  23. Which arguably shouldn't be posted on an open forum unless you've checked with him first, or he uses it publicly for his advertising.
