well said Kidley....100% correct.

There is a dedicated cycle lane......................why wasn't he using it..?

some of the guys i remember from Woodside Ln :- Jim Hickey (supervisor)..Bill Adey & Albert Hewitt (trench inspectors) Pat Scanlon (sewers supervisor) Walt Beevers (compressor operator) Frank Williams (roller driver) Pete 'Sam' Mayo & Pete '(Puggy' Fowlstone (footpath rollers) Kevin Oxpring (district lorry) Jack Lawson, Frank Lax Mick Ellis, Glyn Bradshaw, Tommy Angus, & Mick Roper (tarmac operatives)

there used to be a path from the top of Spring Ln. to the bottom of Arbourthorne Rd, that used to be called an eightfoot by the locals when i was a kid.

I kept mine, I find them very useful when i'm gardening or decorating....

What's so difficult about paying at the pump or in the kiosk ?.......it's not rocket surgery

Dead right !!!!!

I also trained there at that time.....managed to get to 1st Kyu, but didn't take my 1st Dan grade..........didn't know Danny Connor had passed away, very good instructor.. better than John, in my opinion.

I have a 1974 Kelly's Directory, & it shows that No. 40 was occupied by Mr. Geo. W Vardy, and No. 42 was occupied by Mr. Frank Green.

wouldn't set foot in that place.....even if the meal & beer was free...RUBBISH:gag:

Vinnie is one of my golf partners.....

I was the van driver for Shaws ironmongers when they had the shop on South St, in the 60's before they moved to Duchess Rd....the brother of Vernon Outram was called Derek....he was something to do with Ecclesfield Beagles.

My wife & i went in the Robin Hood last August, we had not been since the new landlord had taken it over, we ordered two beef & stilton baguettes......the sliced beef was like shoe leather and the stilton was just 2 pieces of cold cheese that had been cut off a larger piece & stuck in the bread. We had expected the stilton to be melted, like it is in proper establishments but no, it was very poor....needless to say we haven't been in since and we won't be going in again.....terrible quality.

the only cards i would like Cleggy to get is his P45.

plenty of 'good 'ole boys' mentioned there...what about 'little sport' Alvin Hancock)..'smilin' Bill Swindon..Albert Greenhedge..'Big' John Cawthorne.....Ken Hollinshead..'The Colonel' Anderson..'blotch'..'The Big 6'..'Union Jack Howarth..not forgetting myself Alan Jones...oh, the list is endless.

yeah me, I worked @ Olive Grove from 1970 until last year when i retired.

Me too......can't wait.

they are just germ ridden feathered rats.....it wouldn't bother me if i never saw another one.

The thread title should be changed to......God help Sheffield !...and clear out those deadbeats in charge of the council......

I heard this morning (from an employee recently 'tupe'd from Streetforce to Amey), that since they took over the contract for highway maintainance in Sheffield, they have made a loss of £4.5 million......and now they are imposing shift systems (without enhanced payments) and pay-cuts on the workforce......they only took the contract over in August 2012, it does not bode well for the future....i foresee strikes looming.

One direction.................'yeah, FAST FORWARD'

I'll say it before anybody else does........CHEAPSKATE.
