eastwestdivide Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) The South Yorkshire Police HQ is on Letsby Avenue in Sheffield. It's on some maps (including Google) as such (it's the operations complex rather than the HQ, near the ex-airport not far from Tinsley yards). Disappointingly, every time I've been over there, there's not been any street sign actually on the ground. And their own website http://www.southyorks.police.uk/content/collision-records omits it: When officers attend a road traffic collision they write-up the details and put them together with other relevant material into an official record. [/size] Insurers and solicitors can request to see a record that relates to their case by writing to: Accident Records Operations Complex Europa Link Sheffield S9 1XX Also, the Sheffield council planning map at https://planningapps.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/spatialDisplay.do?action=display&searchType=Application shows the road as Europa Link, as does the OS Maps app on my phone. Is it a map-maker's joke? Edited January 2, 2018 by eastwestdivide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a common call that went out on The Bill, when a copper saw a wanted offender across a busy street. Naturally he'd take off, but after managing to cross the road dodging traffic, a much older unfit copper (example PC Stamp) would successfully chase after a 20 year old, athletic black man!

If it's the Post Office itself, I can vouch for the sign's accuracy; I've lived nearby for about forty years, and the PO hasn't budged an inch in all that time.

RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted January 21, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2018 There was a German restaurant & cuckoo clock shop nearby by that has recently closed down. On the board outside, the type with the removable letters, it previously said 'Closed'. Now someone has added the letters 'Kaput' to it!
