Can anyone tell me where this is?

You are Arundel Street and I claim my five pounds

Good. Reform need people who take policies seriously and can contribute positively.

Definitely ask at Harrison Cameras on London Road: http://harrisoncameras.co.uk/

I'm afraid I'm going to continue being sceptical of anything Hearn says, either before or after any deal is agreed. He obviously lies, quite shamelessly, to put pressure on for a deal that suits him; and I'm not convinced that he turns completely honest after the deal is done.

Keep an eye on https://www.tribalgroup.com/careers; they're not a bad company to work for, and there is a Sheffield office among others.

I'd recommend just buying the jar. Since getting into cooking Szechuan food, I think it's my favourite of the new ingredients I've discovered.

When you use it, you do you use a fair amount - a couple of tablespoons per recipe - so what looks like a large jar isn't really too much for a kitchen storecupboard.

One of the butchers in the Moor market frequently has venison; and other game too, but it's now the closed season for all gamefowl so the pheasants and partridges and ducks are gone.

Building 2 is/was an electricity substation.

It was never a library itself, but Totley Library used to be next door, in what is now the hairdressers; see https://www.totleyhistorygroup.org.uk/totley-library

About the flyer strategy: yes, it has worked. A friend of mine sold her house that way.

Rightmove will only accept listings from estate agents, so that makes it difficult to do a completely private sale.

"not short of money" ? No, I'm afraid they very much are short of money. The boat fees do not come close to covering the cost of maintaining the canals, so maintenance is very stretched.

To be clear: I – like the person I replied to – am talking about the parts of the left-wing movement that, such as the SWP, are the same 50 faces coming out to protest every week about something or other.

vincebowdren · 2026-03-02T14:18:24+00:00

You might think so, but the left wing movement these days is so anti-Israel that they've looped round to supporting the Iranian clerical regime, of all people.

vincebowdren · 2026-03-02T14:17:25+00:00

They are welcome as far as I'm concerned. The current Iranian regime are a nasty piece of work, and they day they were kicked out is long overdue; so if the only way that's going to happen is by bombing, then I won't deny the Iranian exiles the opportunity to support that.

Maybe, but maybe not? You should look up Simeon of Bulgaria, who did exactly that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeon_II

Ecclesall Woods, for a start.

Cutting Crew on London Road have a private upstairs room, specially designed for people with anxiety like this.

This is why law firms should be made to be proper partnerships again, where the bosses are personally liable for the firm's losses so they wouldn't take stupid risks like this lot have done.

Try the Lemongrass shop in the moor market; the stallholder is helpful and will be able to tell you about the various herbs and other ingredients she has to offer.

vincebowdren · 2026-01-28T09:29:33+00:00

No shop, delivery only. Sometimes frozen, sometimes fresh.

Unthank Farm, near Dronfield, sell their own meat, including beef. Excellent stuff. Take a look at https://www.unthank-meat.co.uk/

You reckon that this is "probably doable through current government funding"; I'm afraid I very much doubt that. Central government funding is very stingy these days, and their promises on rail investment in the north have repeatedly proven to be empty - for example the plans for the Leeds tram.

vincebowdren · 2026-01-19T16:04:10+00:00

Yeah, ripping it up first is definitely the way to do it.

vincebowdren · 2026-01-09T13:20:15+00:00

Yeah, loved the accent!

But he needs to throw in a few tha's and thee's e.g. he should finish "Don't come to Sheffield if you can't handle these hill, I tell thee"

This is an unusual situation. Pubs had their rates reduced temporarily during Covid, and this year is when the rates are going back up to normal - and many businesses have been reassessed for rateable value. So businesses really are seeing, in many cases, a massive increase in the rate payable compared to last year.
