glyn nettlet Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 me and my girlfriend, now wife, used to go to the Gaumont most sunday nights and call in the Golden Egg on Fargate on the way down to Pond street for the last bus home. Nice omelettes as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azizollahd Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hey Cow Good old days, I well remember the Golden Egg.I was in Sheffield between 1976 and 1980. I used to go to the place nearly every day.The owner was a Turkish guy called Osman, a very humorous man with a Turkish accent.On Saturdays the restaurant was overcrowded with customers specially kids who made a lot of noise.This made him a bit concerned and want to get rid of them. With his strong foreign accent, he used to say to the kids, who usually ordered for only 'chip booty', " come on kids, go, go, go to the Wimpy", pointing to the next door restaurant. There was a girl who later married with an Italian man. Her name was (or is) yvonne Carress, I hope the spelling is right. She was then 26. Such a a wonderful girl she was. I hope one day some body can tell me where she is now. I love Sheffield, I can tell a lot about this wonderful city. Azizollah Dabaghi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caress" (maybe the Y stands for Yvonne?) was born in the Rotherham district in Jul-Sep 1956. She evidently married Paolo La Barbera in Sheffield in Oct-Dec 1980. The 2004 electoral roll shows a Paolo La Barbera at an address in S8. Martine/Yvonne is somehow not listed, but I've PM'd the address to you - good luck!.

I think I may know you- I remember the Golden Egg and Osman, though the name Yvonne Caress means nothing to me- hope you manage to get in touch.

bigsteve Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I used to go to the golden egg with my mum as a kid, it was always a treat and unfortunatly places like that have long gone due to 'costa/starbuck' types places with no soul. Plus that was before 'meadowhell' and the council killed Sheffield center........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azizollahd Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Oh, God I wish I could close my eyes and just find myself in Golden in those years when I used to go to the Stone House in the lunch time and on my return to my house I only sober enough to meet my friends in the Golden Egg and enjoy a cup of coffee (with five sugars) and spend the rest of the afternoon sitting on thebenches outside and looking at all those .....
