MILLENNIUM Square – where's that? This must be the Fountain Precinct!
Deliverymen don't seem to know where they are in Sheffield. The Diary hears that staff working in cafes and restaurants on Millennium Square have to say "Where the Eggbox – the old Town Hall extension – used to be" before they cotton on.
Last week a man walked into Caffe Nero and asked if it was the Fountain Precinct. It must have been all that water which confused him.
Note to deliverymen: Fountain Precinct is that bit off Barkers Pool.
There's water there, too.
Time's not on their side
THE statuesque clock face in Sheffield City Council's debating chamber was missing at the last council meeting but time still seemed to drag for those poor councillors.
It's been taken away for an overhaul and a hole left in the panelling.
One councillor was heard to groan: "Bring back the clock, every minute in here feels like a year of your life has passed by."
On camera
STILL at the Town Hall. smile if you see a woman running round with a video camera – it will be new artist in residence Katie Davies.
She's spending two months filming everything that goes on in the building, from weddings to council meetings. You'll be able to see the film early next year.
