Quite a few of our members live in faraway places (exile) and i am sure our site is a good way to keep in touch with your home town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you're a Sheffielder. Looks like we were at the YMCA at around the same time. I was there for a few months in (guessing 1979) Do you remember seeing a big white JU2 van in the car park.

I started my residency at the YM at the beginning of September 1979, and was there roughly a year. Strange place for me to stay, being a devout Atheist, however that's were the works put us at the start. Some very wierd people there, including a nuclear physicist who insisted on wearing a skirt in protest at women wearing trousers. Then there was Alan Marxhall, a schoolteacher, who lived in the room next to me. He pulled an amazing scam which made the papers and TV, he insisted he had found Captain Kidds treasure from looking at maps in the British Museum. He got a shedload of funding and sponsorship from various sources then dissappeared with his pregnant schoolgirl girlfriend whom he used to give 'private lessons' to in is room. I have many a story from that place, maybe worth starting a YMCA thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To find out look at the maps in the British Museum, - he may have just done what he was paid to do and gone looking for the treasure. He can't come back home can he without facing a serious criminal charge concerning his girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
