  1. Some old friends where involved with Elmsdale operatic society many years ago Stan was make up and Dorothy was in the box office. They used to take one of the local girls each evening to see behind the scenes. I have happy memories of that time probably over 60 years ago.
  2. Some friends go out to Hope Valley college and do very well.
  3. thanks to the 60's music I can sing along with the music on 'gold'! I was in love with my boyfriend at the time and all The Beatles! I don't have a fave record of that time all the music was great.
  4. Anyone give the contact details for "the claims guys" please
  5. In Liverpool the equivalent is Standing round like one of Lewis' reference to the mannequins in the shop window,
  6. Surely the council aren't so daft that they wouldn't know good stuff from tat! so when they take quality goods where does it end up...........in council workers homes?
  7. It was run by Dr Bullas and his wife Dr King.
  8. I have a friend who is police officer with 28 years service. DONT for a moment they are happy with the situation....... they are not. I Asked him why so many police cars are in the car park at Woodseats, quiet simply there are no officers to drive them. One time he told me the area they cover from there is out as far as Fox House and part of London road think of the areas from a to b. On that occasion there only 6 officers to cover, he said GOOD job there wasn't a major incident. He is now based (on medical grounds) on 101 where so many calls are the stupid Facebook name calling he sai she said. If these stupid people kept of it there would be More officers with better things to do. I have every respect for the police always have always will
  9. Two friends recently lived close to neighbour who had recently died. After family had cleared the properties, the council moved in and stripped EVERYTHING including a 3 month old carpet, cooker lovely light fittings, even a garden hut why? Where do they take them why aren't they left for new tenants? I f they don't like them they should be able to dispose of the. I have a friend who has spent thousands on her flat ie a fitted kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, boiler even windows! The flat wasn't earmarked for refurburb at that time and it was in a disgusting state, she was in a position she had to take it. When anything happens to her (she is 85) it would be a palace for another tenant, who possibly wouldn't be able to afford to put back WHAT this draft council take out, often high quality goods. Any SF give me a clue?
  10. A great watch repair man in the market hall in Chesterfield. He comes highly recommended.
  11. My dogs insurance is due soon (I have two) anyone give me the name of a good company please?
  12. My aunt was a Cowlishaw . Father was Harry (?) and had Nunnery farm., I think he was a milkman, his son Jack was a coal merchant. My auntie was Joan. I am always interested when i hear the name as it's not a very common name.
  13. Yes carosio do. Did you think I would have posted such a comment if the outside of my house looked like a tip?
  14. City road helped me locate a grave in Abbey lane some years ago.
  15. I reckon this must be the most litter strewn road in Sheffield!! I wonder what the offenders do for 'community service' because its not helping to litter pick. I was visiting a friend who lives in a flat, the person above them obviously has no ashtray, seems to thinks its fair game to throw the dog ends out of the window!!!
  16. I don't mind being called love or duck. What I DO object too is people presuming to call me by my Christian name. I will tell you when you can call me by my first name not before. I have told many about it particularly when enquiring about something over the phone , 'kids' who are probably young enough to be my grandchildren. They call it being friendly. I don't, it's disrespectful. Before I retired, I worked in a professional office, and would never have considered to call clients by their name name unless invited to do so.
  17. AA Ward on Abbeydale Road opposite Edgedale Road. My mother used to get her order delivered, and the grocery box was always packed beautifully! Sugar in blue bags.............who remembers that?
  18. Sorry to have been so long in replying to all you kind people! I have only tried gorilla glue and it didn't work, will try some of the other suggestions. Off topic, but where has the 'for sale/swap and free' section gone? I don't like the new format, not as easy as the old one.........or perhaps it's me?
  19. I have a glass candlearbra and one of the 'arms' has sheared off. Do any forummers know of anyone who would be able to repair it or tell me of a product I could buy to maybe have a go at repairing it myself? It appears to be a fairly clean break. Thanks in advance for any help.
  20. Its comforting to know that some of these students could well be running the country at some point!!!!!! Everyone is entitled to peace and quiet, and if you have noisy neighbours pull them!!!
  21. Speaking of Sheffield council.......... a friend of mine has is in the process of moving house. She had pit laminate flooring in her present home, and has now been told she has to take up the living room covering but can leave the rest of it!!!! Where is the sense in that? I don't understand the logic, it was all in very good condition and would have been a t least a starter for the next tenant. Another elderly friend has paid for everything in her flat.. Fully fitted, kitchen. bedroom , and bedroom even down to new windows and boiler!! When anything happens to her will this idiot council drag it all out , and if so why?
  22. I have used Able garage doors on about four occasions, highly recommend, and Paul is a top man!
  23. .................I wouldn't give it wall space!!
  24. I watched the Prince Charles programme last night, i dislike him even more. I was nearly sick when he gave that 'coquettish' simpering look, I don,t like Camilla either, though I hate the thought, reckon she will be Queen. I often wonder just WHAT William and Harry make of her.......I think Harry is closer to his father than William?
  25. Stoneacre Brimmington for me. Had 5 cars from them and been well satisfied.
