It's very representative of the area, Sheffield is a stoney city now. They be cheaper than the water features that need constant water running.

I still call it Cole brothers even thought I know it has changed names. If you have called a store something for decades its hard to remember to use its 'new' name, especially if elderly relatives still use the old name.

You just need to wake up and these old habits will drop. The habitual behaviour of elderly could be used as a reminder to not be sleepwalking in life.

I have been shopping three times in the last thirteen years in that part of Sheffield so I don't see the shop name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That's fine it's just a name, you can live in the past or the moment. I never met Thatcher but know she ain't prime minister no more.

I have met up for lunch at Meadowhall but not evenings. I used to go into Sheffield more for concerts or evenings out before the roads were changed and it was easier and more convenient to park. That was over twenty years ago. I go to the odd shop or two or coffee shops but then go back home not stay and mooch around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
