joyphil Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Say what you like about Rotherham, but it has one thing going for it that shall forever seal it as the cradle of civilisation as we know it. The Rotherham Advertiser was the crucible in which the UK's leading literary light, Jeremy Clarkson, was smelted. Alternatively, that fact alone could render it a candidate for instant liquidation. Hmm... Mind you, would love to read some of the early South Yorkshire output of Doncaster-born Clarko, in those dim and distant days before he discovered sniffy powder. "If Rotherham was a woman, it would be mature, experienced, sophisticated... a rumbustious, randy postmistress of a town. Rotherham... is the best town I have ever worked in. Today..." And so on, ad nauseum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunches2002 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I moved from Crookes to Catcliffe just before Christmas from a small terrace to a much bigger new house which cost me exactly the same money! I'm really pleased with the move as the area isn't bad at all and everyone seems very friendly. Other thing I've been impressed with is the borough council compared with Sheffield city council - council tax all set up with no problems, bins collected on time throughout christmas and everything!

AndrewC Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Jeremy Clarkson once called rotherham the fashion capital of this part of south yorkshire. Sounds fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
