willybite   10 #1429 Posted November 8, 2011 I've heard both 'clock cold' and 'clot cold', but for me the latter is the closest to the original expression: 'clod cold', as in as clod of earth. Mind you, I always say 'stone cold' anyway!  hiya, dont leh me puh thee off witway da torks buh gerrit allreight reight we would say clot cowd. arr owd ahda,sithee eer wen am torkin tuthi, gerrit den. sorry about that as i'm in my 70s and going back how we said things keeps my grey cells working.

iKitty   10 #1438 Posted November 11, 2011 Does anyone remember Auntie Gladys's Cafe on Leopold Street?  Well, actually I think it was just called Gladys's – I and all my friends called it Auntie Glad's because Gladys Greensmith, who ran it, was my great aunt.  It served traditional English fare and was much beloved of local workers, who went there for lunch. It was there for donkey's years.  If you were walking from Barker's pool towards Trippet Lane it was on the right, close to where Orchard Street runs off. From memory – I left Sheffield 20 years ago!– there are only five or six little single-fronted shops there, either side of Exchange Something-or-Other (Gateway?? A little passage, anyway) and it was one of them. I wish I could remember which shop, but I can't now.  Be great to know if anyone else remembers it!
