Hi all I worked there from about 1967 to early 1971 in the offices with Joan Lowe. She was married to Frank Lowe. I didn't stay long as I got married had kids & emigrated. Very interesting reading on this site ?

Guinness better in UK for sure & cheaper!!! Tom just paid $11 for a pint & he still watches blades. Lol. You know who I am so hope you and the clan are ok. Regards J

I left Sheffield in Jan 1983 to live in NZ. I loved it there but we decided to move to Perth WA in 1986. I go back to Sheffield when I can as we have family still there. Great to go back and (get my fix of the people & place) then love to come back here. I call Perth home now. I do get melancholy now and again especially this time of year. Xmas is not the same here even after all this time. I prefer the cool weather and as I get older I can't tolerate the heat. Too hot for me -temps this week in the 30s. I'm proud to say i am English.

George & May were my grandparents. John, Ann & Sandra are my cousins. George Snr & George Jnr died the same year in 1955. ---------- Post added 10-04-2013 at 15:24 ---------- Ethel was my mum. I think they lived at 173 woodside lane.
