St Petre

"IF' is Leeds United's forename since 1964.

What am I to deduce from this, is it that the worst drivers in Sheffield parade their mad driving antics up and down Spital Hill all day while the rest of the city is spared from these motorised maniacs ?

I have to make an amendment to the above as to the place I was referring to, it is also a Hookah shop (?) and they smoke the handheld versions in the streets discharging almost Flying Scotsmaesque amounts of whatever comes out of them.

Same for vaping and vaping products but I think that places that sell those products are allowed to partake within the premises. There is one across the street from my local bar and they do it -they can be seen through the window-but as the majority of the people in the area where I live are Ukranian, Russian and Turkish (the Turks run the vapor shop) but nobody bothers them.

As for the rules of smoking, which is what I thought this topic was about, I can't speak for Sheffield but where I live, Brooklyn, NY, the city has been very exacting over the past couple of decades e,g. They have the highest tobacco product taxes in the U.S.A. (used as a deterrent but not too successful)- Smoking is not allowed in ANY public/work place or public enclosure with zero exceptions and no designated areas. Smoker's using bars and restaurants have to smoke out side (in NY, not in front of) which the patrons have to be several feet from the door meaning they have to stand in front of adjacent businesses which has led to confrontations. As of this year, 21 yrs and older will be the minimum age to buy tobacco and tobacco-related products. Earlier this year a NY City councilman proposed a bill that smokers who walk, stop and then stand still while smoking should be fined (smoking while moving was ok by him.) It didn't get very far and when I read I that I found it hard not to laugh, so I did.

Ours was the same, only used at Christmas and New Year when the aunties and uncles came, then Johnnie Walker, Black & White, Tia Maria etc came out for their annual appearance. No TV in there either.

I don't think it was the darkness and fust that was the problem on Rillington Place.

Trains don't run through Page Hall but they do in Brightside which isn't far away.😊

Reading an article about Dansette record players made in the 1950's. It said that they played records that ran at 33 rpm, 45 rpm, 75 rpm and 16 rpm, ( folks on here of a certain age will know that rpm meant revolutions per minute), I have never heard of 16 rpm before, anybody else ?

Ditto Bolton on Dearne,

If anyone from the west country city reads that they will tell you that they have two professional football league clubs (as does Sheffield) and like to be referred to with the suffix City or Rovers, also Nottingham Forest don't like Notts in their name prefix. Used to get on my wick when I worked in the Chesterfield area and the Owls were mentioned as : the Wensdys. Pedant rave over, Happy Easter.

I think it was Steve Bruce who scored the goal in 'Fergie time'.

The gas company's football pitch on Claywheels Lane was actually on British Acheson (later Union Carbide) property, their own being on Grange Mill Lane. Wincobank/Blackburn, Also on Claywheels Lane was the Hope and Anchor brewery football/cricket pitches,

Who scored for Man United that day and did Willie Morgan play ?

It says the library is in Parson Cross, is that right ?

The Atlas and Norfolk facility belonged to Firth-Brown's.

What TV channel did you watch that on Mr.T ?

Yes Mr.T. I wish the Owls were as good as Manchester City reserves ! That would still be a force to reckon with,

50 odd years ago Atterclffe Road/Common would have put 'em all to shame, (except perhaps Knightsbridge ).

587 stores in the centre of Cambridge ? Then I'll eat my hat !

The Owls game was probably not televised because Yorkshire Television was concentrating on their beloved ones from that place that is near Bradford, can't speak for the BBC tho'.

The Stanley Street club (now demolished) and the building that houses Caesars-although on the same side of the street- were two different places.

May I ask, was it 'lack of turnstiles' or lack of open turnstiles ?
