  1. I hope UKIP do win the Clacton by-election. Somehow I do not think they will win many seats in the General election. However when I ask people who voted for UKIP MEPs they are adamant they will vote for them in next years General Elections, so hopefully I may be wrong.

     

    Also people who have never voted UKIP before say they have been sickened by what has happened in Rotherham all because people felt it was not politically correct to speak about it and they are disgusted that the politicians and police closed their eyes to the situation.

  2. I find Galloway an absolutely repulsive individual, but I can't advocate what happened to him.

     

    The way to defeat Galloway is through debate and the election box, using violence to make a political point is the thin end of the wedge.

    Like you I find Galloway repulsive. I would love to see him removed from parliament. How can he be removed from parliament if he has a safe seat? Who are the people who have voted for him, is it the ethnic minority? However I must be honest I do not understand politics to well.

  3. I moved to Newcastle about 9 months ago. I lived at Grenoside for 19 years and I do miss the area. I think Sheffield is a very green city and I did not realise this until I moved. There is a lot of fine people who live in Sheffield. However I had to live in my late mum's house on the Parson Cross estate after she died for a year. I think it was one of the worst parts of Parson Cross, the antisocial behaviour was terrible. There was a programme on television about policing Sheffield and it showed you Parson Cross and the antisocial behaviour that the police had to deal with. I certainly do not miss that area where I lived. In the programme the commentator said Parson Cross is a predominately white area, I'm not to sure about that when I last looked around the area.

  4. It's been 20 years now. If Ben is still alive, he's probably settled in the life of whoever he has become. Finding out that he was snatched from his mother at a young age would just cause major upheaval and trauma to him. I really don't see the point. I can understand why his mother isn't giving up though, I guess I would do the same in her situation. Did she ever have any other children?

     

    I think she had a daughter, who is a few years younger than Ben.

  5. My 80 year old mother went into Hadfield 4 for bedrest 3 years ago. She had 2 falls on that ward which killed her. I had to spend a full day at the coroner's office. The consultant, matron, sister and nurses who were on duty also had to attend the coroner's court. I still say to this day that there was something very wrong with one of the nurses who was on duty when my mum had these falls, and it will haunt me for the rest of my life.

  6. Keep free bus travel for disabled people. But not for pensioners. If a student can't travel for free to do study and better themselves, why should a pensioner travel free to go to the market or whatever they do. In my opinion pensioners have a privileged position in society because they vote. It's time for more fairness.

     

    I wonder how many of these pensioners were in the second world war. They certainly were not in a privileged position then. If it was not for some of these pensioner students probably would not be here today.

  7. I have just moved from Sheffield to Newcastle. I feel they have got the concession passes right here. Pensioners are allowed to use their passes in line with the rest of the country after 9.30 am in the week and all day at weekends. However if they have an early morning hospital appointment and they show the letter to the bus driver they can travel in the week before 9.30 without having to pay. Disabled concession passes are the same as pensioners if they are not working. If they do have a job they have to apply to the council for a pass to let them travel before 9.30 am. I think the council have got it right here.

  8. Riverside fish and chips in Hillsborough the best ever

     

    I second that. Just moved to Newcastle upon Tyne. I have not found a decent fish and chip shop here. How I miss the Riverside fish and chips. The chips, fish and fish cakes were lovely. Also the price was really good. I have not found any fish and chip shop here as cheap as the Riverside or as nice. I don't think I will.

  9. Heres some of Elect apprentices of the 60s I remember. Graham Fieldsend he was severely injured when he fell from a crane and survived ,we both got married on the same day.

    Pat Molloney, Mick Gill, Stuart Elliot, Stuart Casson, Chris Mullins, Les Cousins. Dave Asquith. and I think biker is Stuart B. We had a lot more apps than that but my memories a bit fuzzy now, we worked in some unpleasant conditions but we did have a lorra fun tho.

     

    Do you know if Stuart Casson was related to Henry Casson. Henry Casson died in an accident at Brown Bayleys. I think it happened in 1974.
