I used to love bookshops but have no room for books anymore. <br />I did spend almost half an hour inside Meadowhall but couldn't find any proper shops. They all have foreign names T. J. Poxy. Lon Jewish. I like Jewish traders they will always brighten a shopping day with a bit of banter and barter. What the FUK do NEXT sell? I'll stick with local stores where possible and Harrison Cameras for luxuries.<br />Just in case you think I was being overly careful I did get a spare phone from a shop called 'EE By Gum'. Very good it is for a tenner.

Today Shirley and I bought six new "Made in Sheffield" dinner knives from a junk shop. I guess they were made fifty or sixty years ago and were probably put in a drawer and never used. They cost us £12 (for six) - beautiful and bone-handled.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-19620547121640748792013-11-30T20:58:15.634+00:002013-11-30T20:58:15.634+00:00Fascinating.

Leaving aside the cost.<br /><br />I doubt there was a family in New Zealand that didn't possess a knife or something else made of Sheffield steel. Probably still isn't.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-79813096216911921692013-11-30T20:57:32.441+00:002013-11-30T20:57:32.441+00:00Well, they could hardly have called them, 'Iro...Well, they could hardly have called them, 'Iron Ladies' Not up North, anyway.<br /><br />It is about time the ladies got their memorial as well.Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.com
