Phil probably signed a new lease last year so is unlikely to move. Althoug he has got a history of opening businesses with crap parking so who knows.

No wonder he's always so cheerful. Unlike you Graeme, with your US mall like parking. I never know which space to choose

Aye. Parking near the Edge not usually a problem but you need a degree in Parking Science to know where to park at the Works.

The bus, drops you right outside pretty much and then you can climb with a clean environmental conscience

Apparently it is Phil (heard from our friendly local Anti-terrorism bobby).

Doesn't change my opinion expressed earlier.

Good knowledge.

You said I was barking mad buying UKB too....

[a dense loner]

Picking up on Graeme's current opinion that Phil's business plan for the Abbeydale Theatre as a climbing wall is flawed ie Graeme doesn't always call it right

It is a bit late shark. You need your bed.

Whilst ukb might be considered a national treasure by some (including me) it does not have statutory rules about what you can and can not do to ukb. You might be sensible consulting the powers that be (ie us ukbers) about making changes to ukb but you don't have a statutory obligation to consult the powers that be, and ukbers do not charge you statutory fees to consult them and ukbers decisions are not legally binding.

Does ukb require planning consent to paint over a brick wall, the new owner of Abbeydale Picture House certainly does (see English Heritage website http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/your-property/planning-advice/what-can-i-do-with-my-listed-building/ ). 

It a whole different kettle of sharks. 

Plus remember back in 1985 (or was it 1986) when me and Patta called you as Sharkey, well obviously we were right then

Have I stepped out of line ?

Won't happen again.

Sheffield Telegraph piece

[GraemeA]

Nice that the Telegraph gave us a plug 

[T_B]

6 walls in Sheffield! I can only see all of them staying in business with some serious innovation. Maybe a 'gym Jones' style facility for climbers and other outdoor sports people? or a creche. Come on Graeme, a creche would be a total winner surely? That and opening at 10 on weekdays.

[J_duds]

How about if the walls opened for 24hrs a day like Tesco!

[T_B]

You mean like Pure Gym? Totally. It's crazy that I live less than a mile from the works and work 50m from the foundry and yet I'm thinking about building a wall at home. Wall opening hours could accommodate those with young families, or who work Flexi better I reckon. Just opening an extra half hour in the evenings until 10.30pm would be great. And aren't gyms packed before 9am? Why not climbing walls?

Matrix opens from 7am these days.
