While it is nothing to do with football, I am always laughing if I have the misfortune to have the radio on in the car when that bloke Rony Robinson is on Radio Pig, when the OAP’s phone in, rambling. If I didn’t know better I would swear it was a comedy sketch.
Rony: So what do you think?, has Meadowhall taken away trade from city centre shops?, do you even still shop in town? we’ve got Albert on line one, Albert , what are your thoughts?
Albert: Do you know Rony, when I was a lad, my mam made me dripping sandwiches every day for mi pack up, when I were an apprentice at steel works.
Rony: Dripping sandwiches?, good point Albert, anyone else remember having dripping sandwiches, phone in and let us know, Edith on line two, Edith?
Edith: Rony, we had to walk to school and back in my day, no one had cars back then, we walked in all weather, rain, hail, snow. Kids never walk anywhere these days.
Rony: Do you agree with Edith? Do kids walk to school or not? We’ve got Alf on line three, Alf, do you see kids walking to school these days?
Alf: Do you remember getting loose sweets Rony? When I was a lad there was a corner shop on Chesterfield Road that had big jars of sweets, and the man would use a big scoop and scoop out humbugs in to a paper bag for a penny.
Rony: What are your memories of humbugs, or corner shops, or paper bags for that matter, phone in and let us know, Winifred on line four, which sweets did you like as a little girl Winifred?
Winifred: We didn’t live near Chesterfield Road Rony, we lived at Firth Park, but I had a cousin who lived near Chesterfield Road
Rony: Did you have any cousins when you were younger, phone in and let us know.
