« on: October 12, 2017, 10:19:24 PM »
O' dear North Derbyshire voted for this Tory what can I say?

A guy who *fluffed* up Westminster car parking a no one who replaced a much liked Labour MP a likable lady who one felt comfortable with  . A guy who talks who fails to do the walk O' dear North East Derbyshire has lost its way remember the miners strike of 1984/85 the batons were at hand the death of the community  but hey the grass is greener on the other side or is it? I despair my heart goes out to the net generation who will have the shop doorways to call home.

I can't but help notice more young people on the streets has Universal Cerbit is rolled out in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire but hey ho the older end still vote Tory still thinking they are better than Labour Party.  Its clear that their is a generational spilt will bring down the country. Look around you Chesterfield is dead the market is struggling the workers are struggling to pay their bills the factories and pits are closed.but yet a certain generation blames the younger generation for it look around but hey ho that's too easy !

General Discussion / Are you ready? Niche nightclub is back!
« on: November 10, 2016, 09:58:09 PM »
The Sheffield nightclub which was home to Bassline , Underground Speed music but also had the reputation for drugs and shootings is to reopen on Walker Street near the Wicker. The  owner of Tank nightclub Steven Baxendale was the owner of Niche on Sidney Street, Baxendale opened his first club in 1992  in an old cutlery works the club played underground rave music that later developed into music with an heavy bassline beat Jamie Duggan and Andy Spoff  were the most notable DJ' s at the club. The Sidney Street club was closed down in 2005 after an major Police raid based on alleged drug dealings at the club though the raid failed to find any drugs on the customers. The club later tried to reopen at Charter Square in 2009 but again the problems that beset the old club came back the last straw been an drive by shooting . Baxendale closed the club in 2010 under council and Police pressure he later moved to Spain .

Fast forward Baxendale had an club down Attercliffe after returning from Spain sold this brought Tank now Niche is set to open in January 2017 .  Will this work music tastes change all the time Bassline music is seldom played, will the old problems return? This is club number three - club two was at Eyre Street lasted a few months hence it gets forgotten it will be interesting to see what happens.

General Discussion / Is Marks and Spencer set to follow BHS?
« on: November 10, 2016, 07:19:23 PM »
Marks and Spencer a well known high street store that first opened in 1884 founded by two brothers their business grew from an market stall into an well known brand. Over the years their business relied on middle class customers for business St Michael's range was the by word for luxery goods.

But in recent years have seen their main custom base the middle class cut back on their spending clothing sales have dropped dramatically M&S then they tried to break into the food market with high end goods and foods in attempt to woe back the middle class but this didn't stop the decline . M&S have already closed some of their stores though out the country in the early 2000s many changes have been tired like getting in well known designers for an more up to date clothing also changing the company management all in vain. M&S have recently rolled out as ' Simply Range' goods which in reality is the same has Tesco's ' Everyday Range' but still profits fall.

Now M&S are planning to close 60 stores and make smaller stores into food only shops they face an uphill struggle has Aldi and Lidi dominant the food market can M&S survive in this economic climate or will they join the likes of BHS?

The other day I went though Vicar Lane as I was passing what was Morrison's old shop noticed a guy opening the doors and the electric shutter going up. Expecting to see nothing but emptiness was amazed to see counters, shelving units , cupboards and towards the back possibly fridges even shopping baskets awaiting for their next customer. The only thing missing was staff and food when Morrison's left they must have taken very little with them anyone heard anything or was the guy simply checking the shop?

If you were travelling quite a fair distance say for example Chesterfield to Mansfield in an taxi as an example can you negotiate a price before hand than having an metered journey?

Chesterfield Discussion / From banking to the Holy spirit
« on: October 30, 2016, 02:36:54 PM »
The Grace Chapel has moved from Markham Road to the former Yorkshire Penny Bank in the New Square what an contrast . The Grace Chapel was used for Chesterfield's food bank and Iv been told the former Square and Compass pub on West Bars has been used has an food bank too. Noticed on an recent visit someone is living in the door way of the closed Pacific pub on Church Lane and tale tale signs of rough sleepers around the town. Its the same in Barnsley .

Just over were I'm am we had high winds , hail stones , lighting, going dark to the point the street lamps came on early. Then suddenly the sky came light and blue sky's appeared again as if nothing had happened. My partner was driving home she said she had the radio on but the signal cut out until the sky cleared. A part tornado was seen above Sheffield, Iv seen something like that a few years ago strange sight.

General Discussion / Grammar Schools new policy on bringing them back.
« on: September 12, 2016, 06:38:48 PM »
The government are planning to bring back Grammar schools perhaps a test similar to the 11+ could make a come back too. I personally think its a step back in education and creates a two class system of the ' bright' and ' no hope ' cases instead of equal and advancement chances that will be denied under these plans. It is an flawed idea it never worked before too me this confirms that Theresa May is at heart a Thatcherite and endorse its values . Education should be about opportunity and enbetterment and to give a child a chance  not put under pressure to pass a test that will impact on their education.

Chesterfield Discussion / Opposition to demolition plans on Sheffield Road.
« on: September 10, 2016, 06:29:51 PM »
Another Whit Moor related news . Lidi are wanting to make their car park bigger this will involve the demolition of two shops on Sheffield Road and two semi houses on the road before before reaching Lidi. The semis are next to the main car park entrance . However some locals are not convinced that Lidi needs the extra car parking space and questions the effect of the demolition will have on local business and how the area will look after the demolition. Their are two planning notices and one about the opposition to the plans. Sometimes we pop in Lidi on my way to Newbold can't say ever had an issue with getting a car parking space and its quite big unless we miss peak time so can't really say if this scheme is needed?
