RichardB Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Maybe this needs a bit of quality checking, or am I missing something ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Could be written by a child or the Call Centre worker who asked (for security purposes) where I was born, then asked me to spell Sheffield ... <Click><Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madannie77 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Maybe this needs a bit of quality checking, or am I missing something ? A bit of editing . I haven't checked all the names in that list, but I can see quite a few who are not native to Sheffield, and that is only the names I recognise. Was the Peace Gardens built in the 12th Century? etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Peace Gardens, 12th Century, Charlie Peace - ask Bayleaf, its before he went bonkers, obviously. Looks like Schoolwork from some kids from an alien-planet. I only read a few of the names after Hear is a list ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayleaf Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Fascinating list. Off the top, Eddie Izzard was actually born in South Yemen (I think it's just off the M1 near North Anston?) and I love the way out of all the names they feel they need to explain that Sean Bean is an actor! Just out of curiosity I had a look at what they've got down for other UK cities, not a lot although they seem to confuse Leeds with West Yorkshire!

Bayleaf Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Peace Gardens, 12th Century, Charlie Peace - ask Bayleaf, its before he went bonkers, obviously. Bonkers? Not at all, it's a scientific experiment, and it's beginning to work, it's only a matter of time, you'll see..... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madannie77 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Not sure if anyone else will have a clue what I mean, but I am surprised that Joseph Holbrooke is missing from that list, and I am not referring to the composer. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
