superCol Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 That tap thingy in the window of a shop in the Castle Market on the Waingate entrance. It was sat in a tartan container. The water constantlly poured in to it without overflowing. I stood there mesmerised when I was 6 or 7 (about 1966). Probably do much the same now if it were still there. Duh! Still, worse of all, is the loss of the ABC. Many a happy time in there as both a customer and an employee. Also the Crystal Rooms, the amusement arcade underneath. Spent a year or two fixing (sorry, repairing) the slot machines in there and fighting off claims (with a large piece of metal) that the machine had failed to pay out. I've not been in Sheffield for a good few years, what's there now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you can't tell the difference between **** and clay without sniffing it either:rolleyes: Hendersons is the elixir of life. The other stuff is nothing but a mere shadow of the Juice of the Gods that is distilled in Leavygreave Rd.
