  1. Then where would we be today without the constant change in the English language Maybe we should all have a copy of Chaucer ,I know i spent hrs trying to decypher that brand of English,PS blind as a bat lucky I can get any words almost correct on screen LOL
  2. Don't worry about offending anyone because you cant offend a TRUE Yorkie hope I inherited the wry (if not warped) sense of humor it does seem to be sadly lacking by some
  3. trastrick is 100% right its now easy to put all the blame on Thacher instead of looking inward
  4. Then may I take this chance to Wish you a "Merry Christmas",or whatever you types say nowdays:|
  5. perhaps you didn' read your own It did say Somali and I could be wrong but I don't think Somali's come from Sheffield ,But in any case I was on the boat by then I moved out and the Somali's moved in:rolleyes::rolleyes:And in anycase the question was would you move back to Sheffield and if you're waiting for expats to say yes we love to move back you're going to waiting a long time so don't take offence when we give you an honest anwser
  6. No maybe not but you may have been brought up quite different to me I never recall guns being used by even the very worst of criminals ,sure it could be rough with many a drunk punch up on a sat night but NEVER a knife or gun was seen and all was forgot come Monday morning ,today there seems to be a hatred and naste everywhere :suspect:
  7. O(n my very last trip to U.K the crime was rampant going through Coventry all coffee shops was bared and closed by 6 the reason gave "all the Goullies come out at night and the very thought of us going to the bus station for transfer at night horrified the family saying we would be mugged for sure (they land up driving us to the airport),Now maybe the last 45 yrs in Canada as made me a little soft and just not use to the low life this being a very safe country 95% of crime is very local in the big citys and very Ethnic ,where I live now almost no crime and all from Children up very polite and kind hearted, so no I will never even visit Sheffield or anywhere in the U.K again
  8. Not a fan of "Shameless"then "Cheaper drugs now":hihi::hihi:
  9. Would this be History or merry Christmas to expats if so what about those poor Sheffield folk who have no history and are not expats I think they deserve a merry Christmas to:hihi::hihi:
  10. Glad to see we in Canada are following the lead of the U.K, a new refugee on enter this county will get over double the amount of a old Grummie like me who as been paying tax for 65 yrs (15 in U.K including 7 yrs Army) this was started in U.K back in the 50s when steping of the boat and off to the welfare office.It does make you wonder just who was the numscull who glued these Politians head on:mad::mad:
  11. Do they still hold Christmas in the Grime or as it gone OOOOW "The Holiday Season":gag::gag:
  12. I dont know about hungry Its getting almost as bad as "any one from Grimsthorpe" its like watching pait dry:hihi:
  13. My mother owned 4 row houses that was gave to her( inheritance ) now this was in the days of rent control and tenants had them for life my mother tried to give to them for FREE she was refused because with the very low rent they could get all their upkeep and repairs at no cost to them, The world as now turned
  14. Those Sheffield folk don;t know much why they even call a cookie a bikie LOL
  15. Now that sounds good we've been sending to China for 200 years I'm sure they will be sending a little back, BUT please no food just dont trust their food supply:gag:
  16. You're dead right greed knows no status from the unions to the very top, its all about me with no thought to the big picture, I wonder whats going to happen when China has all the money shared with a very few of their rich friends and all common men will not be able to buy their goods:mad::rant:
  17. Although I agree 100% it was a very local/area thing I always had to work pretty hard in all the Leicester plants dont think the Unions had manage to get their commie grip on all areas along with Sheffield the Clyde was very bad also the Birmingham car works, my brother in law told me he was just incapable of slowing down to suit the union's he just had to leave
  18. I'll give u a dab around the ear if u dont shut up
  19. Did u read the speech(facebook) by the Oz P.M finaly someone with BALLS and it had to be a women:D:D:love:

  22. Almost the same word (scallop) maybe different spelling??scallop potato's cut in thin slice cover in a nice white sauce with onions bake in the oven .Ho garlic makes them very very yummy:thumbsup::thumbsup:
  23. Yes most of the bugs can be a very local thing changing from area to area, We moved 100k to near Lake Ontario and every year swarm of fish flys cover the whole town but only last for two weeks and they don't bit,now black fly up north thats a another story
  24. 100%skippy it always supprise how anyone can judge placers they have never been to,I could have land up next door but the boats for Oz where full for two yrs at that time ,did spend 6weeks strike bound in oz but had to come to Canada dont regret for a moment and where i am almost no snow just the right amount to kill off the summer bugs
  25. Thanks just got that one, could well be my dad sending for the Clarke/harden marriage cert Doncaster 1931 i'll see if the dates match up.Well thanks again
