Had a bloke come into work just now...we got talking about all sorts & he asked me where I was from, Sheffield I told him & he said yes I thought it was a Yorkshire accent...he then told me he was from York & we talked about that, he told me he was 84 & been out here since the 60's...anyway as he was about to go out the door & leave when he turned looked at me & shouted..."SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY" giving a thumbs up sign...we hadn't even talked about football, so as I said...think Sheffield, think Sheffield Wednesday...

Glad you mentionned his age, probably remembers you as a big team in the 40s/50s/60s. If it was some one maybe under 50 he would have turned round and said "We're all Blades aren't we".

Sat around the pool ordered a drink the waiter who's only English was

This thread's as funny as the one when you lot were all making up stories about wandering into and around Hillsborough with your kids.
I've heard of Man U fans in foreign lands just saying 'Bobby Charlton' or Scousers saying 'Dalglish' to instigate the football chat - do you lot say 'Carlton Palmer'.

Maybe having "WE'RE ALL WEDNESDAY AREN'T WE" tattooed across my forehead was a clue but other than that...Originally Posted by Ginger_Potts
