Notice Tiger incident at Yorkshire wildlife park

74 Upvotes

I'm sick of people making sh*t up now. The news reports are doing what they do best and dramatising little bits of second hand information.

What's the worst is that people are just making gigantic assumptions and making stories up as they go along.. then spreading them like facts.

I watched a tiktok from the lady who WAS there with the victim, she took his photos, experienced his presence and watched the incident unfold and she tells her experience of him with heavy implications that he was of some neurodiversity and appeared to lack perception of danger. Yet, her factual, real account of the victim isn't plastered all over social media... just fake, dramatised, money making sh*t everywhere.

Question Help connecting solar panel

6 Upvotes

Hello,

I've moved to Doncaster in the last couple of months after experiencing a mental health crisis. A friend has allowed me to live on a boat and we were getting things straight on it but unfortunately my friend has been locked up for a bit and I've been living aboard with no electric for a couple of months and just charging my phone at maccies.

I would like to get the solar panels connected up but I have little financial access right now but I think I have everything needed to wire it up apart from a multi metre.

Could anyone please help me? I am currently moored at Long Sandall. It shouldn't take any longer than 20 minutes. It's been really difficult recovering with absolutely no electric.

Thank you

Question Aged 18-24 and struggling to find work?

8 Upvotes

I'm working with the Work Foundation at Lancaster University, a research organisation, and we are researching the challenges facing young people trying to get into work in Doncaster and South Yorkshire.

We're currently speaking to major national TV news outlet, who would like to hear from a young person aged 18–24 in these areas who is currently out of work and not in education or training.

They're interested in hearing about your experience of looking for work – for example, how long you've been searching, the jobs you've applied for and the barriers you've faced.

This would initially just be an informal conversation so you can find out more before deciding whether you'd be comfortable taking part in any interview. Filming will take place on Wednesday 7 October near or at your home.

If this sounds like you, please send me a private message or email me at info@theworkfoundation.com. I'm happy to answer any questions and provide some more information.

Thanks for considering and have a good evening,

Jon

PS. Thanks to mods in advance for approving.

Question Women’s Meet-Up Group

17 Upvotes

I’m looking to set up a monthly women’s meet-up group in Doncaster. The idea would be to do different activities throughout the year (e.g. learn to crochet, talks) with a small fee to attend to cover materials and/or memberships to cover the year.

I moved to Doncaster 2 years ago, and haven’t really made too many friends here; and having spoken to some of my neighbours they also feel the same.

Before I launch into logistics, registrations and planning, I wondered if anyone else would be interested? Thank you!

Notice A takeawya from a Speed Awareness Course

40 Upvotes

I just did a Speed Awareness Course, because what else is there to do at 0745 on a Sunday morning?

One thing that jumped out to me was that Doncaster is the most likely place to have a collision in the country :( At 38 per 100k it just pips Bradford (at 37), and Walsall and Bristol were in the mix too.

Stay safe out there folks!

Question Does anyone know this strange bridge near Doncaster?

10 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m hoping someone might be able to help me identify a bridge near Doncaster 7.5 weight limit.
Last year I drove over what I remember being quite a strange/flexible bridge, and I’ve been trying to find it ever since. My friend doesn’t believe that something like this exists šŸ˜‚
From what I remember, the bridge actually seemed to move/flex quite noticeably while I was driving across it!!! almost as if the whole thing was flowing or moving underneath me. It was honestly pretty terrifying and distressing at the time because I can’t swim and I remember thinking I was going to end up in the water.
I can’t remember the name of the road, bridge, or exactly where it was, only that it was somewhere around Doncaster.
Does anyone know what bridge I might be talking about, or remember a bridge around Doncaster that moves/flexes like this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Edit
I was in scunthorpe on that day as well, it’s possible to be between them or in the direction of scunthorpe
