bazza63 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 In the early sixtys I went to the Locarno, Mecca , on London Rd met a girl and took her holme in my Land rover, cannot remember were she lived but went in to see her parents her father was a cutler and a few weeks later she came to the Mecca with a hunting style knife wrapped in old newspaper and said present from her dad. just wonder if the lady involved is still about and does she remember the incident would love to hear from her.Mac. {phone 07979758637} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smuffin Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hope you gave her a penny for the knife. It was the custom for knives and scissors when given new. Did she work at one of Sheffield's cutlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw47 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 bazza63. Are you sure you got the right end of the stick with the knife situation? You say her parents had met you. What if, as she was leaving to meet you that night her father said, 'you're looking lovely this evening my dear, going somewhere special? And she replied 'yes i'm meeting bazza, you know, you met him the other night'. Then her father mutters under his breath 'bloody ell' goes to the cupboard & hands her the knife saying ' if thart meeting bazza tha best tek this wi thee'. now I'm not saying that's what happened but it would explain why you haven't met her since.

polka-dot Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Was it definitely a present, and not a "here, hide this for me" type of situation? ---------- Post added 07-03-2013 at 00:22 ---------- Was it definitely a present, and not a "here, hide this for me" type of situation? Ok not at all helpful.. But could you write a few 100 words on the subject and get the Star to run a little mystery type story? That's the sort of thing they like to run with a picture of you holding the knife, looking off into middle distance with a far away look in your eye.

mjw47 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Only joking bazza! Just seemed quite a strange thing to turn up with on a first date. She obviously made an impression on you & I wish you all the best in finding her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
