I've noticed over the years a certain degree of piss-taking of this august organ. Personally, I've always thought that it covers the important topics of the day. The things that really matter to the people of Sheffield.

I've just popped out for my day-old copy and I think this proves my point:

Dog walker hits out over pavement hole hazard

A dog walker claims she was hurt after falling down a hole in Sheffield where work was being carried out.

Hollie Sheldon said she suffered injuries to her legs, arm and torso when she stumbled next to a streetlight in Wybourn, where Sheffield Council’s Streets Ahead team were carrying out work.

The 27-year-old had witnessed a fire while out walking her dog and reported it to emergency services moments before she fell, dragging her dog with her.

After managing to climb out, Hollie noticed there were no barriers in place to warn the public of the potential hazard.

Hollie, of Outram Road, said: “I was unaware of a big hole at the side of the street light.

“I fell down the hole dragging my dog with me.

“After I got out, I realised it was a result of roadworks being carried out by Amey which have been going on around Wybourn for quite some time.

“There have been unnecessary plastic barriers around our street light when the light is finished and working.

“Holes which are not filled in have barriers around them as a warning, but where I fell down there were none.

“I’ve hurt my knee and seem to have twisted my foot. It hurts to walk.

“I have witnessed other accidents occurring around the estate.”

She has now lodged a formal complaint with the council. (Edit: Of course she has.)

Graham Scragg, street light manager for Streets Ahead contractor Amey, said: “We’re sorry to hear about the fall Miss Sheldon has had and hope she is recovering well.

“Unfortunately, the barriers around the street lights on Outram Road had been removed and set on fire.

“We did attend the area following the incident as soon as possible and replaced the barriers, as well as checking the others in the area were correctly in place.

“The safety of the public and our employees is always our number one priority and we do have teams across the city checking our sites.

“We are also constantly reviewing our systems and procedures in an effort to minimise the size of and amount of time of our excavations.”

Amey has urged members of the public to report missing barriers on 0114 273 4576.

The spirit of Private Eye lives!

The world has gone mad! What exactly was it that made you miss the flippin great hole? Too busy counting the pounds you could make from a claim for injuries sustained by yourself and the dog, to see it!

I don't actually think she did fall in the hole, because she wouldn't fit!

Local rags along with local radio stations are laughable for the utter non stories that they report on.

She was too fat to notice the hole.

She had just reported a fire - hmm - what was burning? Great big orange safety barriers perhaps?

What a fat sponger.

Interestingly it doesn't say what she does for a living !

 

[SwissBlade]

- When I walk my dog at night I either carry a torch or wear a head torch.i do this regardless of street lights because dogs have a habit of walking off the path to take a shite. And if you can't see it you can't pick it up.

- even without street lights your eyes quickly become accustomed to the dark and a bright yellow lid would be obvious.

- if she walks this way on a regular basis she would've probably seen the work going on and if someone had time to set fire to the barriers then they'd probably been there a day or so. So she'd know about it

- finally, I bet she was texting

Is there a claim here? No

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Leave the lass alone, you lot try carrying two extra large kebabs, a portion of chips and a can of fanta and still be able to see your feet!

 

[Bladesway]

What a fat sponger.

What is wrong with being on the large size? At least she has padding when she hits the deck. I would have thought the biggest issue was not having hand rails on the hole for her to get back up.

Also, assuming this photo opportunity was pre staged and they weren't just stood there waiting for her she could have made an effort and not come out in a once white t-shirt. Or perhaps that was an effort.

Finally, how lazy must the dogs she walks be? I always assumed if you walked dogs then you would at least see the benefit of the exercise. Clearly not.

 

[SwissBlade]

How much would she get from the star for her story?
How much from an insurance claim?
How much if she'd actually caught the fall on camera and sent the video to Jeremy Beadle?

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

Well she's got plenty of padding to absorb the impact.

 

[bricktop]

Bet the big fat lump was thinking jackpot. Where there is blame there is a claim and as a brucie bonus managed to have an extra lie in on the only day in a fortnight that she would have had to get up and sign on.

I know someone just like that. Doesn't work. Eldest child attends pupil referral unit as the teachers don't understand his condition. Oppositional defiance disorder or some other name they give to a bastard who can't behave themselves. Spends most of her time telling the world all about her life in a series of badly composed, semi legible messages in text speak and also requesting candy crush lives on Facebook.

 

[Robby Blade]

I spent half my working life up against fat cunts like that. Any holes left after work would be covered, coned and barriers placed around with pictures taken to prove every precaution had been taken. Even that didn't stop them managing to fall down them though. In the end we just used to fill them back in and re dig them the next day.
Thank fuck I don't have to work amongst the scrounging workshy bastards anymore.

 

[mattbianco1]

I like how she says she's hurt her knee then poses for the picture crouched next to the hole.

My knees are fine but if I crouch for longer than 10 seconds I can't get back up.... And I'm only lifting 10stone

if I were her I wouldnt visit Grand Canyon, shed be in for a big surprise

Dog walker hits out over pavement death trap

A dog walker claims she was hurt after falling down a hole in Sheffield where work was being carried out.

Full time Chav and mother of 10, Hollie Sheldon said she suffered injuries to her legs, arm and torso when she stumbled next to a streetlight in Wybourn, where Sheffield Council’s Streets Ahead team were carrying out work.

The 27-year-old had just started a fire in a neighbour's wheeliebin while out walking her dog, however, in her attempts to flee the scene, she fell into the six inch deep hole, dragging her terrified dog with her.

After taking over an hour to climb out, Hollie noticed there were no barriers in place to warn the public of the potential hazard.

Hollie, of Outram Road, said: “I was unaware of a big hole at the side of the street light. My first thought was for the safety of Fang as I landed on him with a right fuckin thud. Fair do's to the dog, he did break my fall although I broke a few of his ribs".

“ After I got out, I realised it was a result of roadworks being carried out by Amey which have been going on around Wybourn for quite some time. There have been unnecessary plastic barriers around our street light when the light is finished and working and holes which are not filled in have barriers around them as a warning, but where I fell down there were none".

I’ve hurt my knee and seem to have twisted my foot. It also hurts to walk and after checking that Fang was ok, my first thought was: COMPO". As such, she has now lodged a formal complaint with the council and contacted Claims Direct .

Graham Scragg, street light manager for Streets Ahead contractor Amey, said: “We’re sorry to hear about the fall Miss Sheldon and Fang suffered and hope she didnt spill too much of her lamb doner and can of Strongbow. Nevertheless, the barriers around the street lights on Outram Road had been removed and set on fire by the locals to throw at Kosovan gypsies".

“We did attend the area following the incident as soon as possible and replaced the barriers, as well as checking the others in the area were correctly in place.

“The safety of the public and our employees is always our number one priority and we do have teams across the city checking our sites.

“We are also constantly reviewing our systems and procedures in an effort to minimise the size of and amount of time of our excavations, and to stop Chavvy fuckers and their dogs falling into the holes we dig .”

She'd be waiting a long time, given Beadle died nearly 6 years ago!

There have been a number of barriers taken from round our way.
Thanks for the helpful Amey number, I will pass it on.

- When I walk my dog at night I either carry a torch or wear a head torch.i do this regardless of street lights because dogs have a habit of walking off the path to take a shite. And if you can't see it you can't pick it up.

So Swiss, You are basically saying that your need for companionship is stronger than your distaste for picking up shit.
Interesting. Hmmm.
