DeWasteney Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Sorry, Toastmaster, the names are correct because all 3 were girlfriends at one time or another in the period 1965-1968 I have used their maiden names of course and would have been around 18/19 at the time Elaine Stevens lived on Newhall Road between Attercliffe Road and Liverpool Street - worked upstairs in the finishing/packing section Pat Mathews lived on one of the side streets off Attercliffe Road, opposite Banners Store - she left after becoming pregnant - worked downstairs in the stock room issuing finished goods for order packing Sandra Rotherforth lived in the council house estate at Thurcroft - she married a lad who worked at Monogram around 1966/7 due to being pregnant - a tall lad with ginger hair - she worked in the grinding section Fortunately, their pregnancies were nothing to do with me At the time Pat Wilson was the works manager, John Green was the forge manager, Connie looked after the scissors dept, Joyce looked after the finishing/boxing - many more I can remember from Isaac Samuel Dearden, down to young Denis and old Alf who were the labourers Did you work at I.S.Dearden/Monogram Toastmaster and if so what years perchance I know you?

DeWasteney Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Dear Ken At first, I could not place our name and thus could not bring your face into my memory., but during dinner, everything came into place You were the young lad, (then), working in the stores with Ian Herrington I remember - hope my memory is correct. Of course, I remember many others, Dennis Eady, Doug, Tommy Dearden, Ron Annible, John Green , Pat Wilson (real name Aubrey Wilson). Connie, Joyce, Mable etc etc I can send you a concise reply with regard to many people who were there, alive or dead, at the time I left Sheffield, (actually Swallownest), in around October 1968 and moved to a company in Driffield, not far from Bridlington. Then at the start of 2007 Malaysia, a residential area about 10 miles south of Kula Lumpur. I have never been back to the UK since then I don't think I could stand the weather there now, here it may drop down to 88 degrees during the night but daytime as always between 98 and 104. plus the manufacturing costs are much lower than in the UK - as for petrol, it has been almost the same since I came here, currently about GB Pounds1-55 gallon, so driving a 4.0 litre car is no problem I do wish o put the long update to you on any website and so if you can send me your email address to my secondary address - victor.mh1940@gmail.com I will be very pleased to reply by return Please note that Malaysia is British Summer Time (your time), plus 7 hours Nice to hear from you after all of the passing years, and to know that you are still alive and kicking - as for me I will be 82 on July 1st and still go to the work's, or I am in my dedicated private off every day of the week - I guess you will be around 70 now ?? Meanwhile, Take Care and Stay Safe - Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
