  1. Had another scammer a few weeks ago knocking on doors selling fish from a red transit van,dressed more like a builder than a fishmonger.
  2. Just had a man with a white van call at my door in Worrall trying to sell me a mattress.TOld me a **** and bull story about his boss telling him not to bring anything back to the depot and to sell what was not delivered.White van with Home Deliverjies written on the side ,no phone number no address.Beware.
  3. Have you tried the company that runs the BT pension scheme,I presume he will be drawing a BT pension.I believe the company is Accenture based in Chesterfield.Not sure they will divulge info but worth a try if important.
  4. Thefts from sheds at Worrall There has been a couple of shed breakins at Worrall,Be on your guard if you have a shed
  5. Sorry to hear of your loss,maybe the traffic cameras might have tracked it on it,s journey.
  6. Why didn,t you join the Fire Brigade ,you seem to have a knowledge of what the job entails.
  7. The working men of this country are their own worst enimies.I bet most of the respondents on here have got nice warm offices to work in and have 2 hours for lunch and the nearest to danger is sharpening their pencils.If this govt had their way we would all be on zero contracts and no pensions.
  8. My wifes father worked at FB,from 1917 to approx 1965.His name was Bob Taylor and he worked on Swedish swing grinder amongst other jobs and ended up in the Met lab through ill health till 1964.
  9. The rink belonged to a chap called Grainger who ran Marcroft roofers .He had a yard across from the Carbrook Hall.
  10. I once stepped in some dog poo on Hillsboro corner,I stood in a shop doorway to clean my shoes when another bloke also stepped in the dog poo.'Ive just done that I told him'He then beat me up.
  11. The road through the village of Worrall has a 30 mph limit but not many vehicles slow down when driving through it.It is a miracle that there has not been a serious accident here considering there are two bus stops in the immediate area near the public house also a blind bend on approaching the pub and post office and bus stop when driving from Oughtibridge toward Wadsley.I should imagine any speed limit would be ignored.
  12. Seems you caught them on a good day considering the many complaints this company gets and have been investigaterd on the BBC.
  13. With me it is not so much Toby Foster,It,s the constant reminder of what station and who we are listening to being repeated again and again also the background music forever being played.
  14. Equal to the T Foster debacle from 7 till 9.Constant reminders your listening to Radio Sheffield with T Foster and when he comes on air he reminds us again.Then there is the newsreader who sounds as though he as run up 6 flights of stairs to read the news.
  15. Have just read a book about National Service,one chapter describes one lad arriving at camp to do his 2 years with a guitar ,the sergeant asked him what the guitar was for and the lad replied 'to pass the time away in the evenings.
  16. You must be Bob Jordans son,I worked at Stocksbridge around the 60,s.Do you remember Mick Whitacker also a bricklayer and Scodger, the lorry driver.Also Alf Midgley also a bricklayer.Was a lad called Barry Laker also a foreman .
  17. A good job I paid for the laptop with a credit card or I would have been on a loser with Currys. After 3 months use to say the fault was wear and tear and refusing to repair the laptop once I got B/card involved they soon got it sorted. My advice is if you buy anything from the PC world Currys or Dixons pay with a credit card.
  18. My experience with Curry/Dixon/Pc world was a nightmare.I purchased a laptop from Currys .One of the cursor keys on the touchpad went faulty after 3 months ,I was told to ring the companys Tech Guy who advised me the fault was wear and tear.To cut a long story short Barclaycard told Currys to get it sorted.I have never shopped there since.Avoid like the plague.
  19. Thanks for the reply Dronfielder,Iam now in the process of drinking the beer before it goes off,cheers
