Appreciate the info on NCS, like the recruiting age range, wonder if its through schools and if not why. I know someone who works with "under privileged children" wonder if they know of it. Sounds a good tool to use when working in that field. Thank you.
Was it the chippy that's there now? Can't remember whether there was another one or where it may have been?
That must have bee
Yes mate still there now next to pizza kasra
I think the chippy at Gleadless Townend is still in the same place as before. I remember going there back in the 1970's, it used to be good. Blond haired lad called Steve had it then. I had a girlfriend who had an unhealthy proclivity for his pies. We used to go there a lot. Eventually I had to dump her because she became too fat.
The girlfriend developed quite a penchant for it, regrettably all those calories meant she got too fat and I had to dump her.
Was she called Flora?How about this place?

The Rex cinema at Intake.
A popular place to see films for us living on the south side of the city. I remember seeing "Last tango in Paris" there. All I remember about that film is something to do with dairy products. It led me and my girlfriend to experiment with the same.
your right on all those cb steve was a nice bloke ran it with his friend cant remember his name though , the white heather chippy was a place visited on school lunch times ran by an italian couple who lived on our estate , they retired and lee took it over as a chinese , the old harrow was my local fridays , sundays and tuesdays were the best nights was the end of an era for me when it closed .I think the chippy at Gleadless Townend is still in the same place as before.

There used to be another one at the far end of White Lane, near to the Old Harrow. It used to be called "White Heather Fish Bar" back in the day. I think that's still a fast-food place of some sort now. And of course, the Old Harrow, which used to be a bit of a disco on Friday nights back then, is now an Indian restaurant.
Half of our school got thrown out of there after we had paid and before the film started we all sneaked in underage to see porkys .How about this place?

I went out and bought my first pair of chlorine goggles after that. I do hope I'm not giving the false impression that I spent my youth in seedy cinemas watching sex films?
Oh no, of course not.This was my favourite cinema back in the day...

I had a mate who lived at a pub on Nursery Street. We used to stay over at his place and go to the late night showing around 11pm. I saw Emmanuelle there. Sylvia Kristel. By gum! She wor a fine lass! And that scene where she's swimming naked underwater...
Blades 2 (Dearden, Scullion) Spurs 2 (Peters, Gilzean) 11/9/71. Top photo was after Dearden scored the first goal, bottom photo was during a lull in play as an injured player was getting treatment.
Blades 1 L**ds 0 in the League Cup 8/9/70. TC had just scored after a solo run and hitting a hard low shot past Sprake
John Harris, after scoring a record-breaking 15 goals in a single game.
Keith Eddy, minus tash.
Oggie the best aerial keeper ever.
Possibly, but don’t forget Pat Jennings.
I’ll concede on that one
Is my memory playing tricks again, or were the fences at just about all grounds not taken down almost immediately after the Hillsborough disaster?
That sounds quite likely. I remembered fences coming down quickly, and making escape routes sideways available would have been sensible. Perimeter fences seemed normal pre-disaster, but it was a relief to see them go after the disaster.
