  1. Yeah..the Commanders lived about 4 doors on from us in Deerlands Avenue..Sylvia was same age as me and also in the same class at Lindsay Rd.
  2. I was in Mr Stables class at that time and I remember almost all the above names ...however I must admit to being slightly miffed that no one mentioned MY name. I was sat next to Janet Hobson ...any guesses?. No..? Thought not....my name was Brian Cowling.
  3. I was an apprentice in the machine shop from 1965 to 69. My name is Brian Cowling...ring any bells? ( milling section ) Our training officer was George Cooper . He was a goody-goody type.. gave a tenth of his earnings to his church if that helps..He was a nice man. His brother Alf worked there also but was a polar opposite of George. He was made up to shop foreman just before I left and was quite strict. Must have gone to his head. He used to stand at the end of all the machines at 5 minutes to finishing time to make sure nobody washed off early. Other names I remember were Jack Hardy ( tool stores boss ) who died before I left. John Hazard...charge hand. Phillip Berger and Kenneth Cook ( two apprentices set on same time as me.) Byron Watson (machinist and shop steward) . I named my first son after him. A guy called Ted..highly skilled bloke .worked on the milling section also...his second name will come to me after I post this.... ( just remembered..Ted Belk ) When I got to about 20 or 21 I left for a job with more money..to Ashow Engineering. .who paid most in Sheffield at the time Over all I have fond memories of Edward Pryor and Sons. ---------- Post added 22-09-2017 at 20:23 ---------- What was you name? I was there at this time. .
  4. Or, alternatively, step 5... it may end with some spoil-sport coming on pointing out all the threads frailties and putting an end to some enjoyable, light-hearted banter that this thread has inspired.... Amen.
  5. Lets not venture down that stupid chemtrail road again ---------- Post added 08-10-2013 at 19:47 ---------- Just when I was warming to you.
  6. You're not going to invoke a reply from me.........oooops
  7. I won't be responding any more to this thread ( for obvious reasons ) suffice to say ,Poison-pen , I congratulate you on your apt choice of user name.
  8. Ive come to the conclusion you all think Im crazy....right?
  9. Its not well known by me. Look I said before. Im not an expert on this. Im just pointing out.what I see in the sky and stuff from Youtube just backs up what I observe. Start looking into it, dont be afraid of being labelled a nutter or junkie. ---------- Post added 07-10-2013 at 20:07 ---------- Anyhow.I managed to convince the wife thats the reason I dont do owt around the house,
  10. I can't be expected to worry about every single thing.. Anyhow I am getting to the point of past caring now...its getting me down. Its for the younger ones to fight the injustices of the world.. I'm resigned to accepting my fate ..whatever it may be.
  11. I'm not saying what height the planes are flying..... but yes.
  12. Loonies.....not me mate Its my own fault though...I tend to put an light hearted slant to my posts.. Even to stuff I really believe.. ---------- Post added 07-10-2013 at 13:59 ---------- You surely don't expect me to read all that...with no pictures in it...
