School disco. Everyone heading to Vineys and buying MD 20/20 by the carrier bag full. Getting hammered in city rd cemetary and having a great evening.

Vineys were great. the best mixups in sheffield, and you could buy 1 fag and 2 matches(just in case the 1st went out)!

What was his name now????????

Mick, I think!

Vineys! There's a blast from the past. My friend lived on Boundry Road during the 70's/80's and I can remember her going on about Viney's shop. She used to have to fetch her dad's cigs from there!

I can remember Sheperds, at the bottom of Malttavers Place, aka Sheperds Lane, probably because of the shop!

Always bought fireworks (bangers in particular) for Vineys, they never cared that I was only 10 or 11! Do you want any matches with those bangers?

 

Great days

Hi Pauline,

When you see Mike say hullo for me, I worked with him at Batleys cash and carry,back in the early 1970s when he was the wines and spirits manager, I worked on the fork lift trucks, I also remember he had a assistant manager at Batleys called Rex. Also his uncle worked on the loading bay,I think his uncles name was Frank.

He might remember me and my girlfreind babysitting for him, when he lived at Leadbeater drive/road.

Best Regards Steve (the one with ginger hair)
