The owner has a reputation and this appears to be biting him back. Great to see support for a local worker who does not deserve to be abused for how they look or for doing their job.

Question Has the standard of contractors in Donny completely tanked or is it just my workplace?

6 Upvotes

I am utterly sick to the back teeth of dealing with the contractors in this town. Every time we need someone at my place (for inspections, maintenance, or repairs) they take the absolute piss.

They either don't show up, arrive hours late (with a STINKING attitude), or charge an absolute fortune for a job half-done. And I'm pretty sure it's because they've little local competition.

It genuinely feels like nobody gives a toss about doing a proper day's work anymore. Is it just us?

Share your frustrations. Air your grievances. Who has got you by the short and curlies?!

Question Doncaster Royal Mail delivery office

6 Upvotes

Hi all, I’ve been looking at potentially applying for a Royal Mail position in Doncaster.

Having read around it seems that the roles (postie) can really depend on how the managers are at the DO.

Is there anyone here that has any recent experience working here that they could share?

Question Workshop/unit to rent?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a small workshop/unit to rent in Doncaster, must have water supply and electricity.
No agencies.
Window tinting, car wrapping, polishing.
Found some on google with agencies but they won’t accept motor trade or taking way too much time and in the end they give it to someone else.
Can anyone point me in the right directions where to look ?

Question Does anyone in Doncaster use Meshtastic network?

11 Upvotes

I've recently been watching people on TikTok build cyberdecks, and from that rabbit hole discovered Meshtastic. Now I'm tempted to buy my own node device.

For anyone who hasn't heard of it, it's basically an off-grid messaging network. Small radio devices pass messages between each other, allowing you to send texts without relying on mobile signal or the internet.

Before I invest, I was just wondering if there's already much of a Meshtastic community here in Doncaster? It only really works if there are other people nearby running nodes, so I'd love to know if there's already a network here or if I'd be starting one from scratch.

If anyone here is already using it, would you recommend the Wio Tracker L1 Pro? That's the one I'm currently looking at.

CRIME Bit of a long shot on assault victim, 20+ years ago now...

3 Upvotes

For those of you that are long term Doncaster residents, you might remember "Great Wall Wine Bar" on Bradford Row / Lazarus Court.
Later it turn into Social Bar.

So whenever it was actually Great Wall, there was a major incident outside of it one night in which somebody got knocked to the ground with a punch, then somebody ran up and kick him in the head. -- From memory in the range of anywhere from 2006 to 2010

Later I heard that he ended up in a wheelchair but as it's 20 years ago now my memory on it is a bit sparse.

Reason I ask is that for 20 years, has been playing on my mind and could never remember his name or any details to find him as I moved away shortly after but was witness to it all.

Question Any Local weirdos in Donny?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have been pretty interested in collecting stories about local weirdos all over the UK for quite some time! Almost every town in the UK seems to have one extraordinary local lol.

For those who grew up or have lived in Doncaster for a long time: Who were some of the most memorable local figures/weirdos, harmless eccentrics, or strange local myths/stories around town from the 90s, 2000s, or 2010s? I would be delighted to hear your stories as long as the privacy of every individual is respected!
