Eddie_shef Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Guys, just be wary... "tomacaster" may not be Tom Acaster, it could be someone trying to get your address and tel number... they can call the no. and find out if you are in or not. Or I could be wrong, but wanted to make you aware. His posts and messages do seem a little strange. If I am wrong, I deeply apologise- I really enjoyed reading this thread.

Tony Parkin Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hi Allen i remember the following-tom acaster,porky thompson, tony parkin ,kieth ridgway frank stenson,brian wing,george binns,plus many more.I live a bit too far away to dop in for a pint, but it is nice to touch basewhith you regards, toney Tom Ancaster, Danny Palmer, George (Dusty) Binns, Frank Stenson. Having just been introduced to Sheffield Forum and being reminded of my days as a telegram lad, from1950-1954. I also remember lads named Phelan, Caley, Walmsley and Corbet. Called up in the military 1954, sent to Cyprus to subdue the EOKA terrorists and because George Binns and l were able to subdue Mrs. Brooks, the Postmistress at Rustlings Road, Post Office, the Cyprus job was a doddle.

tomacaster Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi Tony. Just seen your message on page.I believe you were in Nottingham Police Force and did you do your full stint. Mentioning Mrs.Brookes at Rustlings Rd and being flogged to Whirlowdale Park with Greeting Telegrams on a Saturday.I remember Keith Corbett very well as he was courting a girl from the Telegraphists.If I remember right he had ginger hair.The next time I see my cousin Frank Stenton i'll let him know all about this website and maybe he will get in touch. Cheers Tom. Acaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
