Guest Danny Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 If you are stood next to another Sheffield History member? I always go to the local history section of book shops to see if there are any new books i dont have for sale, and there are sometimes other people there looking at books also. It makes me wonder if any of these people are any of you guys off of here. Anyone else?? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacky Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I was thinking the same last year while i was walking around City road cemetery with a copy of the lay-out and a list of plot references - but i think the flowers other people were carrying gave it away a bit!!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are now nearly 10,000 of us, of which only a handful are known to be active on the site. Of these "few" a fair proportion of them no longer live in Sheffield, some of them nowhere even close, - not even in this country. So I think the chances of accidentally bumping into a fellow member in Waterstones or WHSmiths bookshop while spending an afternoon in Fargate are quite remote.

Guest JSP Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 What about the chance of been in the Local Studies Library or, when it's finished, the Archives? Ye never know... I was in Local Studies one morning and the Archives in the afternoon. There was a bloke who did the same so we got talking, turns out he was a descendant of the founder of WIlkinson Sword, or so he thought! Perhaps a signet ring should be in order... that's probably a little medieval... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JSP Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Would it have to be so secret that even none of us knew what it was? That would be pretty secret... also pretty useless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 "That friendly old soul Mrs Miggins sends her best regards to you, you old dog, you ..." snappy enough for you Steve ? Easy to slide into polite, general conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest binsted71 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 What about "Conlige suspectos semper habitos" Bonus points for anyone who can translate it?? Perhaps we could 'round up the usual suspects' and ask if anyone knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again theres always the risk of that awful situation... we'd also need to formualate some sort of excuse to explain why you said it to any unsuspecting victim!
