Did anyone here go to High Storrs school?
wornout53 replied to YakQueudrue's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Yes Miss Eyre taught RE and was small and slight and wore a built up shoe. Deputy head when I was there was Miss Freeman who had a lisp....she taught everyone how to use the library so was inevitably know as Miss Fweeman fwom the libwawy. Funny you should mention Mrs Drabble showing her bloomers....I was never taught by her but was taught maths by Miss Beech. We sometimes had our lessons in the music rooms where the teachers desk was on a raised platform. This meant we could see under the desk....and Miss Beech's knee length elasticated leg bloomers lol -
Lloyd's Chemist Charges For Prescription Delivery
wornout53 replied to Caroline's topic in General Discussions
I have been using Echo for a couple of years after having problems with pharmacy2U. If there is a problem they always contact me including when my GP had put a medication I had not specifically requested on my prescription. If I have had to contact them for any reason I have had a prompt and helpful reply. -

My son was placed here during the week when a social worker managed to get my kids placed in shared care. It was a wonderful building with the most beautiful inglenook fireplace and mosaic floor in the snooker room My lad didn't fit in because it was full of lads who's hobby was twokking cars and my lad wouldn't have any part of it.

I left in 1970... I hated the time I spent there...bullying was not confined to pupils there were several teachers who were bullies too. The head was Miss Furtado aka Fido, head of English Mrs Drabble, maths Miss (Dotty)Beech, RE Miss Eyre, Deputy head Miss Freeman, geography Miss Chadwick, pe Misses Baines, Coupland and Alexander. I also remember Mr Hood and Miss Pogson biology, Lindsey Carre who taught English and was my favourite teacher, the wonderful Miss Weaver who taught music and Mrs Sarkiss who tried and failed to teach me history. -
I have a dog who is scared of fireworks and twice in the past week our evening walk has had to be cut short because of firework noise....it is still October! People with dogs who are like mine or vulnerable people who are affected by the noise must be dreading the next couple of weeks I know I am.

In my own school life Mr Abrahamson at Marlcliffe school....wonderful man, inspiring teacher who left me with a lifelong love of learning. More recently Mrs Skates at Beck school and Mr Walkden at Ecclesfield. -
Police Helicopter Out Now Circling

Came over Wincobank too -
My uncle Les Harrison worked here from starting as an apprentice die sinker roughly around WW2 until he got his leg crushed by a die in approximately 1980

Hillsborough at one time had 3 wool shops...Matthew's and Fernees facing each other on Middlewood road just below Minto road...and one at the bottom of Dixon Road run by Margaret Hawley.

Harry knows that he is not needed as part of 'the firm'. He is 6th in line to the throne so can afford to say enough...he was originally the spare heir but with the birth of William's children he no longer fulfils that role. The media have been vile to him and Meghan and on top of that he has endured the continued stories about what his mother was supposed to have done or not done. When the whole Prince Andrew debacle erupted I think it was the straw that broke the camels back. I wish him, Meghan and Archie a happy future away from the straight jacket that being a senior royal imposes. His mother was a beautiful woman who died before she got a chance of happiness so he should seize this chance with both hands.

The Standard Of Driving Has Become Woeful.
wornout53 replied to Richard 3's topic in General Discussions
My late partner's pet peeve was what we nicknamed the lane changers waltz where on motorways or approaching roundabouts a driver tries every lane to get that 10 seconds ahead -
They would have had to protect him from me too! Crass disrespect and ignorance.

Fireworks Being Used As Weapons
wornout53 replied to onewheeldave's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Fireworks can be fun....they can be pretty and enjoyable but the fact is that they are explosives. They have to ban the sale to the general public before areas of cities become no go areas at this time of year due to mindless idiots using them as dangerous weapons. Animals, pets farm animals and wildlife are frightened by them as are vulnerable people e.g. people with autism, PTSD and the elderly. I am not a kill joy but as a child bonfire night was just that...it was one night when families got together for food and fun and fireworks. Now it goes on for weeks and turns areas into virtual war zones. -
New nightwear and depending on age a new story book or a DVD and hot chocolate sachets or similar....it is a lovely way for a family to start Christmas

Not a fish person but the mention of Arapaimas made me shudder...I saw them on river monsters and they get huge!

October 16th and the fireworks have begun. My dog is terrified of fireworks and round November 5th I only walk him in daylight and I have medication for him for when they start going off. Out for his night walk tonight with 3 weeks to go to bonfire night I had to dash back with him because someone had decided tonight was a good night for fireworks. On hearing the fireworks he panicked and I just thank heavens he is always on a lead. He is now on his bed having been given a dose of his medication to calm him down but getting him out of the house at all in the next few days will be difficult.

Before my partner died we used to go at least once a month often more for a coffee and a cake or a meal in pleasant clean surroundings with lovely staff. It is what it is...it gets very busy hence the need for an extension but it is somewhere that all ages can have a pleasant hour or two.

Charles Street And Surrounding Area Demolition Shock!
wornout53 replied to 26b-6's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
My son and his partner visited from America last month and we went round the city centre with them....I am Sheffield through and through but found myself embarrassed by the state of my own city. Few buildings with any history, historic buildings being demolished and soulless glass and concrete in their place.
