Them very odd stones outside the monstrosity at the junction of pinstone st and furnival gate(top of moor) now there is a joke!

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.

COLE BROTHERS!!!!!    Crikey you don't come into the centre very often.   It's been John Lewis for decades.

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.

It is not really that hard. 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.

Wake up? A bit rude aren't you? You mean when I'm walking around in Sheffield? I have been shopping three times in the last thirteen years in that part of Sheffield so I don't see the shop name.

You did say you knew name had changed but still called it Coles.

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.

It's been changed for 2 decades or longer though.

Depends on what the night out involves.  Back in the day I recall meeting at Meadowhall for food, the cinema and then down to Pulse and Vogue!

Erm no, not since I left my teens. I can think of much nicer and more convenient places to go. 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.
