It's a granny flat Or for those with long memories, that's where they keep the bank manager.

Mike's website is one where a ten minute view turns into a couple of entertaining hours. I've had the pleasure of attending his talks and the Tour of Attercliffe he organised using an old double decker Sheffield bus.

I noticed on the BBC Look North coverage on Thursday there were several palestinian flags in evidence.

Is that a drink like lemonade served in Padders's Bar?

Surely a phone call to the remaining Wickes store could clarify the matter?

Is posting links anything to do with mail order sausages?

I was given a Premium Bond application form for one birthday.

You young uns don't know you're born. When I was young we had two flavours, plain and also some very salty ones that were blue in colour.

Has anyone seen Cadbury's Cream Eggs yet?

Preston North End have announced that interim boss Mike Marsh has stepped down from his role following Saturday's defeat at the hands of Swansea City. It comes after former manager Ryan Lowe confirmed that he was leaving the club after the opening game of the Championship season.

Did you remember that Heineken refreshes the red lights other beers cannot reach?

I think the club have more pressing needs: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5687056/2024/08/09/hillsborough-disturbing-safety-issues/

Is it between Trinity United Reformed Church (Ecclesall Road) and Meersbrook Park Church (Chesterfield Rod)

It made you realise just how good the London Opening Ceremony was. I know the French have been worried about things in the river but tonight showed a lot of it on the river.

It's tonight (and next Sunday) according to the BBC website.

Many years ago, before the Yorkshire Penny Bank took it over, the site was occupied by the Albany Temperance Hotel.

I've not reads the whole of this thread, so I hope I'm not duplicating something already said. If it's possible to walk into a gun shop and come out with a high powered rifle capable of hitting a target X metres away, then surely that should be the minimum radius of security. The most powerful weapon 's range should determine the security zone. A few years ago I bought the Sam Bourne paperback "To Kill the President" - almost a manual for assassins.

July 5th 1902 was the start of a sporting event in Sheffield. It was the first (of three!) days of a cricket Test match between England and Australia at Bramall Lane. Bramall Lane is one of two venues in the country to have hosted an FA Cup Final and a Test Match. It was in the next couple of years that Yorkshire Cricket Club moved north to Leeds and so that ground became the HQ of Yorkshire Cricket with a few crumbs tossed our way with matches at Bramall Lane (until the decision was taken to convert to a football stadium) and later at Abbeydale. Australia won by 143 runs, by the way.

There's a report of it being on the agenda for a Council meeting next Tuesday.

Today is July 1st, the anniversary of the first day of the Somme slaughter in 1916. Pause for a moment to remember those who gave their today for our tomorrow. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

I'm not going to name names regarding those teachers I remember, but one thing that struck me was how the old teachers in the 1960s, those females approaching retirement age seemed so much older than 60. As one who will never see 60 again, they looked a lot older than I feel today. I suppose this could be explained by the fact they lived through two World Wars, possibly losing people dear to them.

Part of the problem is the higher energy costs, add to that the recent break in and vandalism. together with a less than sparkling season. But the pies are good.

Stolen watches are nothing to do with the plight of Stocksbridge Park Steels.

I don't think that's known as yet. Initially an office will be needed. This could be anywhere. When the company moves to Sheffield, then I would imagine an industrial unit would make a suitable base with room for rehearsal space, costume making and set construction. At this point somewhere with office space would be needed. There would be no need for audience room. Only some space big enough to hold the stage and the orchestra, with dressing rooms for performers.
