  1. I used the toilets at the Copthorne. At my age the distance from parking the car to the South Stand toilets is a little too far. Appreciate Hilton re-opening although I would give to whoever is the operator. We've all got to remember if we don't use it then we'll lose it.
  2. Beer. As a kid I used to wait for a bus on Haymarket and smell the hops coming from Whitbread (Exchange) brewery. Hated that smell. Got to 18 and started drinking and loved Tetley's, Wards, Whitbreads, Stones and even John Smiths. Stopped drinking 30 years ago and don't miss it at all.
  3. It was the slipper at our school. I was subject to the slipper from Bill Massey Headmaster at Abbeydale. I still maintain I was innocent. (I'm trying to get an ITV drama made without success)
  4. Well please read the title of the thread and the OP's post and tell me that what you believe he is inferring.
  5. It is possible to infer from the OP thread title and the OP's subsequent post that Wednesday are the best in Yorkshire.
  6. To be the best you have to compete at the very top level. That applies to every industry. Wednesday aren't even near the top of the second tier. Leeds under Farke have a greater claim to be the best in Yorkshire. They are way better than Wednesday.
  7. Firstly I am not agreeing with what the guy said but..... There was a time when comments were made and it led to good honest debate, disagreements, arguments. Now every comment is dissected and analysed to find out if there is one or more sectors of our society that may well have been offended. It's sterelising the human brain. Point of view? Keep it to yourself or within the confines of your living room.
  8. Mobile phones are important but as has been mentioned earlier there are greater priorities. Special Education Needs are vastly more important. I'm 68 and belong to the 'lucky geneation'. We have let this generation of kids down so badly.
  9. I agree with other earlier posters about the style and class of males and females in the 1940' - 1960's. But everyone in those days dressed the same and this thread is about 'Have we got used to people Looking Different Now?'
  10. I noticed this morning that Peter Hitchens (not a journalist I totally agree with) has an article stating that at the next general election we should all vote 'NONE OF THE BELOW'. It's good to see that Hitchens is following Sheffield Forum and Abbeyedges in particular.
  11. Have we got used to people looking different now? I personally don't think we do look any different now. If you look around the streets at people today thay all seem to dress the same way.. I think there is a lack of style and individuality. I think the colours are bland and more often dark. On a slightly different note - I saw London Fashion Week being publicised this morning and all the commentators were waxing lyrical about how diverse the Fashion Week now is. One sector missing from the catwalk was MEN. Look at the way men dress today and generally speaking we (I include myself here) are slobs.
  12. I think there is a great deal of speculation here on the Sheffield Forum. However I believe that there are those world leaders who will have been told quite clearly from their reliable sources (maybe from wothin the Kremlin itself) that Putin did instigate the killing.
  13. I am a ittle too old to be out enjoying the Sheffield night scene. I did my fair share of nights out in the 1970's. I remember in 1978 bringing an American work colleague into Sheffield at night and as we drove down Barkers Pool the place was packed and he remarked that it was busier than New York. Is the town centre at night these days still busy?
