HE was sitting on my chest, purring, his eyes boring into mine. It was 5.30am. We didn’t know but he had just over three hours of his happy carefree life remaining.

WHY is RMBC treating residents of Dinnington like mushrooms? Keeping them in the dark and feeding them etc etc.

A THOUGHT-provoking letter in last week pages led me on to one seen recently in the Mail, yes the Dave Mail, call Samaritans on xxxx.

I LIKE an amusing story so I enjoyed reading the Advertiser article entitled: “Solar bins not so smart after signalling failures”. These are the “bigbellies” — about five feet high and two feet square — that have appeared recently.

THIS week we saw an Easter medical miracle from Rother Valley MP, Alexander Stafford. He managed to stand up, without the benefit of a backbone, and speak in Parliament. His spineless defence of Boris Johnson was a piece of cringeworthy oratory that was worthy of an Oscars acceptance speech.

ANOTHER very varied Advertiser (March 17) but is Boris taking the “Mick” with the wrap around about levelling up when he and the rest of the freeloaders have just given themselves yet another thoroughly undeserved pay rise and are paying themselves £3,500 of our money for their energy bills?

THERE are some bits of news that stimulate a surprising amount of pub discussion; it gets quite heated at times. The news that the South Yorkshire Mayor’s staff are investigating “franchising” for bus services wasn’t one of those.

ALONG with, one imagines, most of your readers, I found the front page story last week beyond belief. I see that “Police are still investigating”, so are they waiting for the accused to go past a speed camera in excess of the speed limit?

THE scrapping of tariffs of up to 25 per cent on British and European steel exports to the USA is to be welcomed, and will hopefully benefit the future of our local Parkgate and Stocksbridge steelworks.

AN endangered species. I am referring to the increasingly diminishing sightings of the General Practitioner or GP. Prior to the pandemic this species was regularly sighted and even visited, but throughout the pandemic and since numbers appear to have decreased to such an extent that only phone calls are available.
