Jomie Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 IIRC Plusnet started life as Force 9 in Worksop. However, check it out. Wikipedia refers to the company being founded in Sheffield but it was F9 initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukdobby Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Mr Straw's House. Clumber Park. Lindrick Golf Course. Lee Westwood. Those tunnels at Welbeck. Bill Werbeniuk. Being the gateway to the Dukeries. Heroin. Tatooed women. Donald Pleasance. Licquorice Gardens. Wasn't Werbenick Canadian? You missed women in leggins pushing a pram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Boomer- Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Don't they have a town gate in the middle of nowhere or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal9001 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The best thing to come out of Worksop? It is the A57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) IIRC Plusnet started life as Force 9 in Worksop. However, check it out. Wikipedia refers to the company being founded in Sheffield but it was F9 initially. I remember that place, I used to drive out there occasionally. However at the time many new businesses moved to towns outside the Sheffield Enterprise zone so that when they started doing well they could move in to premises in Sheffield and take advantage of the government scheme. I think there was a massive discount in corporation tax for 5 years or something like that. Edited May 2, 2015 by muddycoffee typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikipedia refers to the company being founded in Sheffield but it was F9 initially. I seem to remember F9 being linked to some computer parts place that had a unit near the Sainsburys on the bypass.

Mister M Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Wasn't Werbenick Canadian? You missed women in leggins pushing a pram. I was curious about that too, so I looked it up.... whilst in England he lived in a converted bus in Worksop! I always associate Worksop with Wilkos - I like Wilkos, but not Worksop!

Longcol Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I seem to remember F9 being linked to some computer parts place that had a unit near the Sainsburys on the bypass. Wasn't that Insight or something similar? I remember getting my first HP inkjet printer from there in 1998. I've probably got the invoice filed away somewhere.
