Too right mate.But remember Paragon in firth park.you could get a curry special or one with peas or gravy.Only could have them once a week because there was eight of us in our family,10 if you counted mam & dad.we use to have that ever thursday,must have been pay day.bless

I used to teach at Shiregreen School from around 1977 to about 1983 as my first teaching job. Knew all the families very well: good and bad.
Still see lots of them around town / attercliffe. Seeing the size of some of them now I was glad that I was fair with them when they were kids!
Families I remember include Myers. Rowdings, Shentalls, Innocent, Matthews, Liversedge

Wincobank Avenue was the one.

It used to take me about 2 minutes to get to school ('bout 20 yards away)
