O/T Threads

Monty, how close our living areas matched.

Our short cut to Far lane was down the slopes off Cawthorne Close and and across Herringthorpe Valley Road and through the snicket that came out into Sheridan Drive. Straight across this to the connecting snicket up a short slope to climb the steps onto Far Lane. The Post Office was then to our right, not sure if it's still a Post Office. We'd then walk up Badsley Moor Lane to Arnold Road nursery, my first school then as the years passed, up to Badsley Moor Lane Infants and Junior School up to 71 then it was a longer trudge to Spurley Hey Comp.

As for the Greasborough area I was born at 14 Hartley Lane in a railway rented house as my late Father was a signalman at the time.
The lane still exists but you could drive past it if you didn't know it was there. Up to the top of Tenter Street and you come to the railway bridge. As you pass over the bridge, Hartley Lane is immediately on your right. Lived there up to 64 then moved to Shelley Road in Herringthorpe. Moved to Lockwood road in 67 and stayed up to 75.

Do you know, when I were a lad you could get a tram down into t'town, buy three new suits an' an ovvercoat, four pair o' good boots, go an' see Frank Randall at t'Palace Theatre, get blind drunk, 'ave some steak an' chips, bunch o' bananas an' three stone o' monkey nuts an' still 'ave change out of a farthing.

I can't help noticing that for some reason you now seem simply to post odd p*ss takes on various threads.

Unlike you then?

You're confusing me with someone else. These days I basically just stick to a few people either from places I knew or with shared interests. I don't honestly think I indulge in p*ss takes. The "scared of losing your crown" comment is really sad. I have never aspired to any such thing on MM and used to poke fun at gino for what I called his "chocolate teapot" posts where he would post endless stuff about dogfood or boiling an egg just to keep at the top of the posting ranks.
