O/T Sheffield getting the glory again

[hotun]

Should be a referendum on wether the BBC should be publically funded,I know how I would vote.

As long as they end up getting HS2 then I'll let them off.
Wasn't Dunford Hadfields also in Rotherham, but MeadowHall is is Sheffield ?

My beef is the story is factually inaccurate.

[millmoormagic]

Yes, make it clear to you.

My point was back then there was no stigma attached to the Rotherham name, folks didn't avoid saying they lived or worked in Rotherham. Now they do.

I can't really see how I can make that any simpler for you.

But maybe you just don't want to see the point?

To be honest Grist, just re-read your original post and yeh, i read the context incorrectly, sorry for that old bean.

Fair enough

Just seen the report of this on BBC Yorkshire lunch time news.

No mention of Rotherham at all, the company MD even said that they had been working with Sheffield Council on the project.

Sheffield and South Yorkshire was mentioned numerous times but no Rotherham.

Have you guys got it wrong and the site is actually in Sheffield?

The McLaren facility might just be over the border.

Advanced manufacturing park
Brunel way
Rotherham.

University of Sheffield advanced manufacturing research centre , this is why Sheffield gets mentioned like I've already said.

I think the misleading points are, Sheffield phone numbers used within the Rotherham boundary, and the Sheffield Postcode, which actually covers all S Yorks except Donny, and Donnies goes to the East coast, Grimsby has a DN code. Rotherham and West Bromich are the 2 biggest areas not to have their own post codes. Shouldn't Rotherham Council(sigh) be more active in this mistake that's forever repeated? Maybe they ought to push for our own identity, i.e. post code?
The Rotherham boundary in the Waverly area reaches as far as the railway line, or used to.

The phone numbers relate to which exchange you are connected too. If you use BT you get a Sheffield number and if you use Virgin they give you a Rotherham number. All of the Waverley estate and the AMP are in Rotherham the sign to show you are entering Sheffield is just before the Handsworth turn off on the Parkway. I know these bits of info as I live on the Waverley estate.
