punctualP Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Yes - I had a "wiggies gaspipe". The bike went to the scrapheap long ago, but here's the badge: http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/twigmore/WigfallsRoyal.jpg Thanks for that very interesting picture of the bike badge. I never knew they were actually made in Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soft ayperth Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Might have already been mentioned as I didn't go through all 11 pages on this thread. But, didn't there used to be Wimpy bar at the top of Pinston St opposite the Town Hall that served hamburgers with a fried egg inside them?

CalifBlade Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I remember Redgates.....ashamed to say I got caught nicking in there when I was 13....idiot. Then another time me and my mate went in Debenhams and on the top floor they had a mock house on the top floor with furniture in...we would lay down in the beds and pretend we were asleep when people walked through. One night we hid under the beds and waited for the store to close...but we got caught by a guard. I was not a good boy....not violent just mischevious. Not like kids these days.
