  1. I think the battle was against a joint force of Vikings and Irish defeated by King Athelstan the son of Alfred the Great. Michael Wood made a great programme some years ago " IN SEARCH OF ATHELSTAN", maybe avaliable on line.
  2. Opposite the back of the old RSPCA 2 or 3 quid
  3. I was in the NGH for a minor hand op, me and an old fella were at the end of the ward in a sort of a sun room on the Vickers corridor i believe. The rest of the patients were elderly ladies through a double door, but only one toilet. I used to get up in the morning and not wanting to share the same toilet used to walk outside and go to the one in casualty, this after going in the ward bog and seeing this old dear in her wheel chair. Plus after the operation i started bleeding quite heavily from my hand, dripping onto the floor, i told the nurse who just mopped it up with the operation gown i had been wearing and toddled off, it was still there an hour later when i decided to sign my self out, the skirting and floor were filthy anyway, and i didnt feel comfortable being there sharing a ward.
  4. I dont suppose he will be too bothered now, he`s out of harms way.
  5. There is a book The Sheffield Outrages first published 1867 the report presented to the trades union commissioners containing full minuted evidence from all parties, who were granted a certificate of indemnity for giving full and truthful evidence. A good thing or we would never have gotten the full story.
  6. Yes i went straight into year 2, not too bad as i recall we tended to keep apart from the grammar school kids and them us, i think some of them got a bit of a culture shock.
  7. Not really it was a Morris Ital, nuf said.
  8. If you used the tile + grout adhesive, bad luck , its garbage and not something a tiler would use. Im afraid you have got some serious scrubbing to do.If it`s all in the joints too, you will have to scrape them out to make it look anything like. If its ordinary powdered grout its not so bad, but still a tedious job, as said a pan scourer will do the job, or you can buy grout remover but it will work out expensive say for a bathroom. Hope this helps.
  9. It gets more like Hitler`s Germany every day, they get criticised by someone and react out of all proportion, resulting in some poor guy losing his job. I hope the councillor concerned can sleep at night. He doesnt sound thick skinned enough to be a politician. d**k.
  10. She is a proper busy body, I was there for a funeral wake and went outside for a smoke, bearing in mind i was walking around the car park, about 20 yards away from the doors, she came outside and stood there arms outstretched like a demented air hostess and shouted" will you please use the designated smoking areas provided please". er no i wont im 20 yards away from the pub go away please.
  11. He did live in the flat round the back of the newsagents opposite the Embassy, with his mum Christine and sister Saskia. The big house was his grans, she owned most of the shops on Mansfield road as well as the old D.I.Y shop Hoylands (closed down years ago). His uncle Ralph is still the local undertaker. I think he inherited his artistic streak from his mum,she was an artist and model i believe,lovely lady i havent seen since she moved to Woodsetts, and she has a house in France too.
  12. I used to give them a hand when they were busy, boom boom...
