Hi Madmaz, the reccomended version is here: A673472 where I'm almost done editing it.
It'd be great if you could look at it and tell me if I've introduced any glaring errors; I plan to send it back on Wednesday next week (the 20th), so if you want me to change anything, please try to let me know by then. (if you can't i can contact those in house to change it, but its easier if I do it myself).
Good entry

Yeah. I knew the entry was there. Thanks for telling me though. Er... I don't think that you've introduced any errors or anything like that, but the one thing I was definitely intending to change was the bit at the start in brackets 'should you want to'. I was just planning on leaving it out altogether. It doesn't really add anything and makes the sentence clumsy and ungrammatical sounding, apart from starting the entry off on a bit of a negative note. Apart from that, it looks good. Nice editing and all that.
Thanks
Madmaz

>>Sheffield is not a city which is particularly accessible for car drivers.<<
Do you mean the city centre? As the first paragraph says how easy it is to get to Sheffield.

A car driver sitting next to me says "driving through the centre is all right" in a slightly doubtful tone.
I'm not sure either way but I'm willing to change it to centre.... the very centre of any town is usually hard to drive through.

The very centre of Sheffield is impossible to drive through - its pedestrianised!
There is a pretty nifty inner city ring road that runs only a couple of hundred yards out from of the city centre. Thats got all the road links to points North South East & West. I find it very easy to use and usually uncongested, but then again I'm a London driver

Yeah, you're right. I really meant to say that parking is problematic (hence the thing about the park and ride scheme), not that driving around generally in Sheffield is any more difficult from driving around in any other city particularly...

Parking I must have collected a ticket from every borough in London by now, plus loads in Brighton, and all as a result of trying to do my job.

Well, I changed the bit at the beginning of the second paragraph of the transport section; is it better now?
