  1. I suggest the triangle of woodland bounded by the path running left from the bottom of Charles Ashmore car to the old bridge, to the right of the path uphill towards the path crossroads (stream flows beneath) and right again to the car park.
  2. I would like to see a section of woodland fenced off, as in Ecclesall woods bird sanctuary. This would be a safe haven for wildlife, especially birds. I know this would upset dog walkers, but a section of undisturbed woodland would be of great benefit to our ever-decreasing bird population.
  3. Listened to it last night. It made me chuckle when they were winding the manager up.
  4. I use EyeEye on John Street. You get a thorough eye test, which lasts over an hour and costs £40-00. There are no hidden charges as the prices are advertised on the counter. In the past I've used Boots and Specsavers and it seems you're on a production line and you're lucky if you get 15mins for the eye test. It took 6wks at Boots to try and get my specs right, in the end I got my money back and they got a 1 star review on their website. £40-00 might sound expensive for an eye test...remember you've on got 1 pair of eyes.
  5. I saw her being picked up by a Mercedes last year near the bridge by the swimming baths.
  6. I used to maintain the heating and ventilation in the research labs. I remember a guy who worked in the Creep lab, he wore the most ridiculous toupee, I forget his name, now. I also played football with Gary Elliot and Ian Lappin.
  7. Get saving if you want to go to Chatsworth craft fair. It'll set you back £28-00 to park your car!
  8. I was there from 1969-1979. I worked on maintenance and worked all over the factory.
  9. Firth Brown's had 5 different canteens; shopfloor workers, staff, foremens, managers and directors. The food was basic and not very cheerful. The serving staff did a training course at a zoo as they used to throw food at you😁 As a part of my job I had to go into the directors canteen, where they had silver service and a dedicated chef!...a bit different to Japanese canteens, where everyone ate together. Industrial relations were terrible in this country at that time.
  10. I know someone with a surname of Cart. He called his son Orson😁
  11. We used to use the canteen at Marshalls when we went fishing in the river below Dam Flask. We were 11 years old and we pigged out on the puddings😄. We also did a bit of poaching in the pond, which was stocked with some huge trout. BTW, we organised it by ourselves, having to catch 2 buses, as our parents didn't have a car. Can't see kids nowadays doing that.
  12. Is the monument decorated with catalytic converters?
  13. The main reason that PYO's closed down is that pickers ate twice as much as they paid for.
