  1. The 1990's. We had our kids, we moved to a better house. Passed my driving test first time (a late starter). My wife got a 1st class honours degree from the Open University - to give her time to study I used to take the kids out for the day most every weekend - wonderful times. I moved from a pretty stagnant position in the NHS to the Voluntary Sector and never looked back. Pubs round Commonside / Barber Road were buzzin' , We started going on family camping holidays to France - where me and my wife retired to 6 years ago. Some decent music as well,
  2. It's a good 50 years since I got my first cash card for a hole in the wall machine with Nat West.
  3. `Or Palm Street, Walkley or Hands Lane off Commonside.
  4. So you can evidence individuals who have spoken at a number of demonstrations for different causes - and how on earth does someone survive on "free beer".
  5. It isn't going to be every day at rush hour - and not 5,000 for every Sheffield FC / Eagles game. How do y ou think they cope round Hillsborough and Bramall Lane with crowds much bigger?
  6. There is this sign before the two you show whch shows directions for the upcoming roundabout. https://www.google.com/maps/@53.3271714,-1.4703271,3a,65.4y,248.09h,91.74t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sMj0UhthJKWyhQcCEsd94UQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
  7. Certainly remember Applebaums there in the early 70's. Wasn't very big but had a selection of the "alternative" (ie hippie) press - Oz, International Times, Nasty Tales. There was a record shop (Jeff's?) almost opposite which stocked all albums by Cream. Led Zep, King Crimson, Family etc etc. Always had a browse in both. and fairly regular purchases, before a Saturday dinner session in the back room of the Albert which had a rather splendid jukebox.
  8. Coming into town - Brook Hill roundabout, Broad Lane, Mappin Street, West Street, round the back of the City Hall and get dropped off at the Peace Gardens , although understand Pinstone Street may have been closed since.
  9. Well less than that - although google maps sends you nearly all the way round the inner ring road (2.8 miles) from Brook Hill to Park Square because of the bus gate (also can be used by taxis) at the top of the Moor on Furnival Gate.
  10. Back in Sheffield over Easter - will see if / how much the fare has gone up.
  11. Not a long journey and in free flowing traffic of an evening, doesn't take long either,
  12. Both - and no waiting between city centre an Commonside / Walkley when I travelled in the evening.
