I remember an occasion. ---------- Post added 28-06-2014 at 17:30 ---------- I was only in my teens and a very sick young woman Awaiting the call to go into hospital to have the tumour, that was pressing on my brain, removed. It was late night and I was waiting for a tram on Blonk Street. I felt a seizure coming on and panicked. I looked across to where there was an island in the road, and where the ''bobby'' stood on duty. I ran across to him and in a rather garbled manner I tried to explain that I had a Grande Mal seizure coming on and would he help me.? Poor man,I can think of it like that now. He told me not to be silly and bundled me on a tram. On Blonk St. The tram conductor was kind, helped me upstairs and gave me a cigarette. People are more educated now and it would, hopefully,never happen again. So nice to be reminded of the different areas of Sheffield. Most I know. Thank you. ---------- Post added 28-06-2014 at 17:40 ---------- Sorry about the potted personal history. I wished to put in my ''twopenorth'' and could only think of Blonk St, and it was also the only place of which I could reminisce. ---------- Post added 28-06-2014 at 17:54 ---------- OH! The roller skating place on Attercliffe Rd. I met my husband there.

A charcoal filter?

What a hard hearted person.

Condolences to his family.

I went to SW and lost two stone. That is three years ago and have been ten stone ever since. ---------- Post added 25-06-2014 at 22:07 ---------- SW consultants are second to none.

So pleased this advice is getting an airing. I am a vegetarian and know the benefits of fruit in general. I must admit though , I didn't know there was SO MUCH benefit from eating apples. Cheers.

There small are they David. Indeed, they're small. (We loved ours)

I find shopping online a godsend. My husband used to drive me to do the shopping, runs out,everywhere we needed to go. I lost him a few weeks ago. I/we have a lovely daughter but I embrace my independence. We have a wedding coming up in August and I have shopped online for my outfit. Sure, I HAVE paid to send some items back, but all in all not such a lot. One may say the money would have gone on petrol and cups of coffee. To be able to drive is an asset,one I am unable to take advantage of because of how God made me.

I wouldn't show myself up Katey. ---------- Post added 24-06-2014 at 11:48 ---------- I wouldn't show myself up Katey

Congratulations from me too.

I don't have time to read a book outright so stick to poetry. I do like the stories of James Herriot, the vet. Each chapter is a story in itself. Not too long. I'm moving home soon and not looking forward to choosing which books to take with me. Daughter loves her Kindle but give me a ''proper'' book any day. ---------- Post added 22-06-2014 at 23:15 ---------- Years ago I bought a book of short stories by Edgar Allen Poe. Gave me the willies and put it in the drawer out of sight. I felt silly letting it get to me like that but in the end it had to go in the bin. There's a writer who knew his stuff. OH! The bells, the bells. lol

I am afraid I don't have the time to read all the comments but I would like to say re diet. EVERYTHING IN MODERATION, and get enough exercise. A little ''treat'' now and then and I find this works for me. Plenty of water too. 'Tis true, the shakes and such are money making gimmicks.

I don't know how to display my hobby so will have to be content with displaying as an avatar. Patchwork quilt. ---------- Post added 22-06-2014 at 21:15 ---------- Scotty dogs on a quilt made for a scottish lass.

It takes guts to go door to door canvassing for signatures. Talks no good. Someone has to do ''the walk''

Home is where the heart is, and mine is here, in ---------- Post added 22-06-2014 at 13:37 ---------- OOOPS!!Sleeve caught keys. Sorry. ---------- Post added 22-06-2014 at 13:43 ---------- As I was saying. I am about to leave my home of thirty five years and move nearer to my daughter's. ---------- Post added 22-06-2014 at 13:45 ---------- Anston will always have a special place in my heart.

Thank you Plain Talker. Yes!! I remember now. It was St Marie's Tucked in between the row of shops on..... Norfolk Row you say? I'm not a catholic but the ambience in there suited me at that particular time. To sit in one of the pews in there now is just a dream. Thank you once again.

I can't remember ever having been in Sheffield cathedral. I used to call in the little church that was down an alleyway. Can't remember the name of the alley. I know there was a shop just at the top selling religious artifax. I used to cover my hair and light a candle. I have a notion that the church in the alleyway became redundant when the Cathedral was built. When I say redundant , I mean it was classed as a cathedral until the large cathedral was built. I do wish I could remember the name of the alley. O! Was it Change alley?

..................................... Takes her ''hook''

Are we discussing Page Hall? I'm sure that's where the Sunbeam picture house was. I lived in Handsworth and only ventured there because I had made a date. It was alien country to me but worth the trip. I married ''my date'' and a lovely man he was . My love.

I'm open minded. If a bereaved person feels comforted, that pleases me.

Hi Tigger. Strict, We know what you meant. x

You probably would Longleyman. It's .... mmmm ..... well thought out.

Hi. I'm a patchwork/quilter. There doesn't seem to be too many of us around. Observation and a question too. Best wishes.

Good to ''chat.. to a crafty lady. Enjoy your knitting.
