Poppy9 Â Â 10 #1118 Posted October 3, 2013 What's right for Sheffield - rather than Yorkshire - is there a definitive Ey up or Ay up or does it not matter? Â Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Blackbeard   10 #1120 Posted October 3, 2013 Not sure if it is just Sheffield or Yorkshire, 3 years ago I visited a place in Istanbul called Eyüp. It was very interesting too and I did see a few flat caps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ey%C3%BCp_Sultan_Mosque Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

grinder   10 #1122 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited)  You're right, Rossy. All your stuff (the cobbles) is very local to where we lived.  Heeley Green area wasn't it?  Spent quite awhile living in Heeley, yes,from 12 to 24. Best place I ever lived in for Picture houses, and mates to knock about with. Funny thing is, we never seemed to used the pubs there much...  Up to neck in it.....busy Fed up to back teeth.....disgruntled Had a belly full.......Had enough Edited October 5, 2013 by grinder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Strange because we hit just about every other pub within 5 miles.  Were we too "fancy" for our own neighborhood?  (Actually, I was in the Ball Inn a couple years ago, when I was back in the UK for a visit looking for news of old pals)  Geus a whiz then!

I used the Waggon and the round house back in the late 60's early 70's , and they were both good locals . I think that you may have made a good self assessment . Unfortunately , you missed out on becoming acquainted with the the locals and enjoying a good set of people.

grinder   10 #1125 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) My era for pubs was ten years earlier, late fifty's early sixty's, and I'm not saying we never went local we did, but dance halls and the cinemas played a bigger part in our lives than local pubs back then. In fact it's hard to explain to any one who wasn't around pre TV how important the flicks were in our lives back then.. When we did finally settle on a local the group had changed and we all met up in Woodseats....  Hungry nose bugger, allus starvin....

Later the Pomona and Punch Bowl, and the locals with the lads whenever we worked out of town. Locals out of town were dangerous, because they did not take kindly to outsiders chatting up their girls.  Can't blame 'em really, because sometimes we would descend on a small town like a bunch of horny Vikings.  I remember two in particular where we were always at war.
