i did not know your mum and dad that well. i worked with david for about 6 months at river don stampings steelworks. i used to give him a lift most days but he worked in a different part. i think i was in the same class at shiregreen high school as sheila potts .
i used to be big pals with steven poulton who i think is your mums brother .i think ann poulton married one of the booths. i lost touch with steven just after we left school in 1969.i also seem to remember your mums grandad was called brunt, i think he lived around number 36 ish daffodil road he always used to smell of snuff !. i think sheila and your mum and dad lived at number 9 daffodil and steven lived at clematis road i think his dads name was jack.hope this helps.

Yes, one of the girls is named Dawn. She married Mick, but I personally don't know his surname but its the right family. My friend is Elaine but as said earlier there are quite a few girls in the family, do you know any more of them.

Hi Paul, it's Nigel and it was my mom that worked at batchelors all those years ago. I do remember you (sort of... :P) and the trips that we made. I guess that you're still in Sheffield would be good to know what you've been up too and if you still Tivvy and the guys you mentioned?
