  1. I started working at the Dial when I was 15 years old as a bottle collector back in 1971. Stan was in charge of us and Keith Ripley was the steward.
  2. Use to have good un's in the Beehive, Dykes Hall Road, sadly now being transformed into a Tesco express-disgusting.
  3. I remember getting 4 strokes of the stick for taking some booze into school. Also was a member of the "red hand" gang who got a fullwhack smack on the arse in front of the class.
  4. Sorry, I said that I spent six months in the toolroom, it was in the drawing office, I did my apprenticship as a toolmaker. I was there at the same period of time Peter Parker, Trever Rowbottom, Morris Grainger, Brian Gunny, Tony Ronksley, (saw him at the speedway), Joe Pye and Jock Miller. I was in the toolroom when Jock's son, John was there. Hello Last Orders. I will get over to visit you eventually. This forum has brought back some happy memories and names from the past. And hello to you Sneaks, not seen you for a few years. Are you still living at near the Kentucky at Middlewood and doing any DJ ing? Hope your keeping well.
  5. My father used to work at Marshals refactory and I remember going to Upperthorpe baths on a Wednesday evening in the mid - late 60's. These Wednesday evening sessions were run through the sports and social club at Marshal's refactory.
  6. I worked at Rabones from leaving school at 15. Started my apprenticship in the toolroom in 1971 and got made redundant in 1982ish, I think. I spent 6months in the toolroom with Ian Skinner and Dave(?). I recognise lots of names mentioned and have got very fond memories of my time at Chesterman's.
  7. I used to go into the Earl Grey after getting some overtime in at Rabone Chesterman's on a Saturday morning. The landlord was called John Emery who later went onto be the landlord at the Shakespear Inn on Bradfield Road in Hillsborough. I think John retired a few years ago.
  8. I left Wisewood around 1970ish. All the teachers mentioned were there. I remember Mr Lily and the deputy head (forgot his name) both playing the saxophone. Anyone remember "come here Jimmy" Mr Haydock. Also remember getting 4 strokes of the stick for taking some booze into school - happy memories!
