You’re not on your own padders, just because I have grey hair store assistants think I’m an idiot and I’m lost in todays world  which I’m not, in fact I’m far from it. I don’t like talking to strangers as usually they tell you their age, not interested, they recite their ailments and  treatment while pronouncing their ills and medication perfectly, I’m not interested. People who take up two seats on a bus with themselves and their shopping, fortunately because of covid that trick has lessened off, why do women especially ignore their offspring while travelling or taking them to school, all they seem to do is keep their eyes glued to the phone, the new school starters lag behind while mum is telling someone on Facebook that she’s had her nails done, why do they seem to ignore the most precious thing they will ever have, their children, life isn’t lived in a phone it’s lived with your children and husband if you’ve bothered to get married.

Why does Jay Blades get top billing he does nothing but fetch and carry or make tea, it’s the others that make the show.

Exactly correct.  People living in Northern Ireland enjoy the benefits of being part of the United Kingdom as well as the benefits of being close to Ireland.  They enjoy the best of both Worlds and are not foolish enough to change that.

I don’t know if it still applies but when I was a regular visitor to family in both the north and south, but the north didn’t pay any council tax and unemployment benefits were more that ours here in Britain.

Hermitage? 

No where near Sharrow lane or Club Garden Lazarus.

And Definitely a Wards house.

Probably the best pint of Wards in the area  .

The Hermitage was on the bottom of London Road.

Was it the Hermitage ? I’m sure it was a Tetleys house.

What a load of bullocks.

You shouldn’t need to whack a kid with a cane or a slipper to keep control- daft comment.

times moved on.

Yes we’ve seen how times have moved on, teachers beaten up, murdered and pupils stabbed, a whack did the trick.

A very funny lady.

Banning of the use of the cane or slipper was a foolish step, look what we have in classrooms now, teachers have lost the control over their pupils thus giving control to the pupils.

Was it Carters manufacturing chemists or were they further up , I seem to remember a firm, it could even be the same building, that was part of the Rex Fire Extinguishers company.

It’s just at Victoria Quays! This is good you’ve not heard of it, the whole reason we wanted to do these events is to show people places they might not have heard of or been to before! 

Why not say the canal basin ? that’s it’s name most people of my age know it as.

No, where is it situated? I’ve never heard of the place or the address.

Lykke New Era Square?

But where do you draw the line? Do you offer 5 day tickets for people who dont use it at the weekend?

 

I dont drive my car some days, should I be fully insured for those days?  What about libraries, I dont use libraries, should I get a council tax rebate.  And so on.

I would have thought most people do use the service on a Saturday, why talk about libraries and cars that just splitting hairs.

When I was working it annoyed me that I could only buy a seven day pass, I never used it on a Sunday but when I queried this I was told that’s how it was, I replied why not have a six day pass for people who didn’t use the services on a Sunday, I received a lot of bluster “ I’ll put your enquiry through” never received an answer. I must add this was before all the different bus passes and tickets were brought out.

It’s all part of the councils plan to turn Sheffield into a ghost town.

Atkinsons definitely.

What for?

Ditto.

When my Dad killed a chicken, it’s feet would be chopped off with part of the guiders showing , I carried a foot about for a week or so, periodically showing my pals, pulling the guider thus making the feet to open and close, aah happy days.

Whereabouts on Broad Street was the Pheasant? The only ones I remember on there were the Plough, the Industry, the Newmarket, the Blue Ball, and the Old Harrow. Not a bad count for a not very long road, and the Durham Ox and the Old English Samson were only a spit away

I’m talking about the turn of the century or earlier, it was roughly where the entrance stood of the Rag n Tag market just at the start of Broad Street below Dixon Lane, don’t forget Dixon Lane was a very short Lane.

The Pheasant on Broad Street was also used as an unofficial Labour exchange as many pubs were.

There was around a hundred breweries in Sheffield in the late 1890s.

Pure joy to watch.
