trastrick Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) What's right for Sheffield - rather than Yorkshire - is there a definitive Ey up or Ay up or does it not matter? Thanks If you said Ayup in Sheffield when I was a lad, we would assume you were from some exotic far away place like Bawtry, Barnsley or Rotherham.

grinder Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) You're right, Rossy. All your stuff (the cobbles) is very local to where we lived. Heeley Green area wasn't it? Spent quite awhile living in Heeley, yes,from 12 to 24. Best place I ever lived in for Picture houses, and mates to knock about with. Funny thing is, we never seemed to used the pubs there much... Up to neck in it.....busy Fed up to back teeth.....disgruntled Had a belly full.......Had enough Edited October 5, 2013 by grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never did go into the Wagon, the Roundhouse or the Ball Inn, the three closest pubs. Strange because we hit just about every other pub within 5 miles. Were we too "fancy" for our own neighborhood? (Actually, I was in the Ball Inn a couple years ago, when I was back in the UK for a visit looking for news of old pals) Geus a whiz then!

(dad to small child) -kiss clever dick spotty clock a reight misery Don't know what era you are referring to , but it seems to have been some time ago . I used the Waggon and the round house back in the late 60's early 70's , and they were both good locals . I think that you may have made a good self assessment . Unfortunately , you missed out on becoming acquainted with the the locals and enjoying a good set of people.

grinder Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) My era for pubs was ten years earlier, late fifty's early sixty's, and I'm not saying we never went local we did, but dance halls and the cinemas played a bigger part in our lives than local pubs back then. In fact it's hard to explain to any one who wasn't around pre TV how important the flicks were in our lives back then.. When we did finally settle on a local the group had changed and we all met up in Woodseats.... Hungry nose bugger, allus starvin....

Later the Pomona and Punch Bowl, and the locals with the lads whenever we worked out of town. Locals out of town were dangerous, because they did not take kindly to outsiders chatting up their girls. Can't blame 'em really, because sometimes we would descend on a small town like a bunch of horny Vikings. I remember two in particular where we were always at war.

flyer Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi willy. I remember some but not all complimentary, "Stinks" was one for a lad that had a gland problem, Jaz, Space, Wag, Boggy and sniffer, but most were just extensions of their names by adding a "Y" to it. Smithy, Browny,Greeny or "O" Simmo, robbo, Jacko. Funny how at school most kids were called by their surnames isn't it, like the Army... then could understand why they called me nobby (Clarke):suspect: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinder Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Used to know a kid called chalky (White) and another called Dick (Richards), but never knew if it was after the jockey (Dick Richards ) or just Richard.. Big wig...... Important Scrubber.... not a nice lady. Owd boot.....elderly lady of ill repute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
