Who Remembers The Wapentake?

[jackielynne]

Hi Jackie!!,

 

I don't know if you remember me, but I certainly remember you!! My names Steve and I used to go out with Shirley Freeman (for about 7 years) around the end of the 70's, start of the 80's!! I used to have a moustache, hair like Phil Lynott, and I'm quite tall!! I'm in one of those photos, that's on this thread.

 

We were always in the Wap, or Penthouse (Rebels), or later, boozing with my mates. Yes, they were good times......

 

 

Do you see anything of Shirley Freeman? I haven't seen her for about 5 or 6 years. Last time I saw her she was working at Boots (Chemist) at Meadowhall. She seemed well enough. Slightly aggressive as usual!! She said that she was still living at Stannington, but I haven't bumped into her since.

 

Speak to you later,

hi Steve. :cool:

Idiot or what I ask myselfH

Yup I do remember you from the wap rebels and penthouse.:gag: N yep I do see shirley every now n then in nelson.

 

Tho not seen her fer about two years maybe three. when last seen she was still with boyfriend Tony they'd bought a camper van n were off too nottingham for a rock disco. the following week. Yes she still lives in Stannington but don't know if she still works for boots as last time i saw her i told her that my dad had passed away n that was 2005. had a short conversation wiv her then she left the nelson so haven't seen her since :wave:later jackie

Last concert I went to was The Angel Of Retribution gig at arena October 2005 I think n they didn't let me down had a brill night n looking forward to em coming back to Sheffield soon I hope as couldn't get to download oncert last weekend n only other gig is in Manchester so won't be going to that one either later jackie:wave:

Yep I remember the name Shultz from the Wap and Penthouse

Sorry can't place a face with the name tell him (if he still alive n kickin ) he'll have to go down to the Nelson Or Sportsman on a saturday night n reintroduce himself to me. I can be found usually near the big black gates at the bottom of the stairs in the Nelson most saturday nights with husband Jack

 

If he don't remember me or the name Jackie he might recognise the description of me somewhere on this thread.

 

Soz can't help other than that as there's no photo's of on site at present still workin on it

 

I actually haven't changed that much just older n wiser n slightly larger than I was in the Penthouse n Wap days but still recognizable nonetheless.

cheers jackie

Hi,

Just curious to know when you were on the door? I can remember two guys both called Mick, lovely chaps and very even tempered, little Mick wore glasses and had a thumb missing. A few years after we had Chris with his dog Taz and Russel who are both featured in the pics. With them was Robin who the girls all said had 'come to bed eyes' [girls will know what I mean]

A smoothie drunk and thrown out of Henry's came across one evening and managed to put his fist through the wire mesh glass door panel, the police merely had to follow the trail of blood, one other guy on the door at the time of Chris was a character called Wolf who went on to guard door at the Hornblower.

 

Wallbuilder,

Just found this site and your post is old so not sure if you are still operating. I was a Mick on the door at the Wap, started out at the Buccaneer, then when that close moved over, I was on the door from about 1972 at Buc until 1976 at Wap. I am 6'3" and often work a black jacket with yellow trim. Not sure if I am the Mick you remember.
