T?ts up

Ar£e over t?t

Mam always put a plaster on knees... Scrape my knees complete with gravel embedded under my skin by roller skating down hills on scowerden farm estate.. Happy days... Then the plaster would fall off and you could compare who had the worst injury... My jacko roller skates my most treasured possession...

I thought they named them after me and the jackie magazine

So innocent and naive.. Bless me... Learnt a lot since then .. Lol

 

I fell down on tip top o our road got loads o grit in me knee

 

Dad was "doctor dowse" ,in st john ambulance when younger, so remember scrubbed out most of it from the graze then cleaned up and plaster on

 

Still got scar

HI

 

Check out the new Sheffield Secrets book on sale - at Sheffield Scene, ebay or amazon, that is full of Sheffieldish, cartoons etc... if you like the nostalgia and dialect? Donkey stones, tin baths, distempering the outside loo.... cutting up newspapers for toilet paper and paying for stuff on't tick.

 

Full of old and new photos.... and secret stuff about sheffield... WWII pill box in the Don Valley.... Cold war bunker -- telephone transmitter disguised as a tree... village water pump in Norton Lees and more...

 

Absolutely tons of Sheffieldish dialect examples and cartoons - if you liked the little 50p book from the 70's you might like this better??? It has find the secrets treasure hunt pages to keep the kids busy in the six weeks holiday as well - worth every penny to keep them quiet at just under a fiver!!!:)
