flyer   10 #1129 Posted October 15, 2013 Hi willy. I remember some but not all complimentary, "Stinks" was one for a lad that had a gland problem, Jaz, Space, Wag, Boggy and sniffer, but most were just extensions of their names by adding a "Y" to it. Smithy, Browny,Greeny or "O" Simmo, robbo, Jacko.  Funny how at school most kids were called by their surnames isn't it, like the Army...  then could understand why they called me nobby (Clarke):suspect: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jessoo   11 #1135 Posted October 24, 2013 I've never heard Scoppididdle outside Sheffield. Brilliant word !  How about 'traipsed' meaning to wander aimlessly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

(Circular bus route that went around the outskirts of Sheffield)  Motor Bus Fare Stage = bus stop  Jumpin on 'n off = riding a bus without paying when the conductor was busy upstairs.

Man, we were in seventh heaven....  Fox House, Stanage Edge, Castleton, Lodge Moor, Stoney Middleton. Little John's grave.  All a bus or train ride and a hike at the other end, and usually deserted.  And, if you couldn't resist buying a bar of chocolate with your return fare, a very long walk home.  Last month I was in the U.K. with my son. We did my old walk from Fox House to Hathersage. First time I'd ever done it with money in my pocket.  It was great to be able to get a pint, fish and chips inside the Millstone, instead of having to eat my soggy sandwiches across the road in the parking lot, usually in the rain.  Some changes. A few more trees around and they even have blackberries now. Edited October 26, 2013 by trastrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
