ayfer 11 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I remember it well, it was twentyfive to three on a wet January day! I'd just parked my mk10 jaguar at the top of King Street. The Christmas lights are still up. The bus shelter must be leaking cos the woman at the front of the queue still has her brolly up. Either that or the wind's whipping up Angel Street and blowing into the shelter and spoiling her hairdo! The coal man with the Thames Trader has finished for the day. Walsh's is still Walsh's. :-) 2 Link to post Share on other sites
lysander 74 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm in the lavender coloured Triumph Herald...complaining, bitterly, about the "toff" who has parked his Jag on the wrong side of the road! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Unitedite Returns 92 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I see two women, in the middle of the road, dodging the low-flying reindeer. More numerous than seagulls on Bridlington sea-front they were. In those days, you used to get whole flocks of them, (women shoppers and reindeer), around Sheffield City Centre at that time of year. You don't tend to see so many of either these days. Jute coal-sacks - blooming awful things to carry when soaking wet, even more so when you had a lot of slack in the coal. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Pitsmoor Col 3 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I have just walked away from the bus shelter, could not stand it for a minute longer. Women moaning about the bloody awful weather and leaking bus shelters, then there is a bloke in a Lavender coloured Triumph Herald sticking his head out of his car window complaining about some stuck up "toff" parking his jag on the wrong side of the road. Then I spotted Two more women heading for the bus shelter having just dodged a couple of low flying reindeer. I just thought "sod this" I am off, I have only got to walk to Wincobank, a brisk 10 minutes will do it..At least it will be quiet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
