I'm not an Anthea Turner fan and I've not even read this beyond the headline......but I spent about 38 yrs fearing that I'd be found out. The last last five? In no longer matters at this point in my career (which is quite liberating)!

This is going to disappoint, I'd imagine. As will the lack of Midland Mainline electrification and bus fares rising by 50% from the old £2 cap. Not good times for transport in SY, you might think....

Even on bank holiday weekends, the news factory coughs and splutters into life.... www.rotherhamadvertiser.co.uk/news/politic...

5pm on bank holiday Friday....most people will be in a five hour queue on the M5, somewhere south of Bristol.... not at the news factory, we're not: www.rotherhamadvertiser.co.uk/news/politic...

Bad news in Barnsley - at least the council's on its toes...

Always good to be ahead of everyone else with a story.....old fashioned attitude, but.... even after stalling for 2 days from SYP, we squeezed it out early! www.rotherhamadvertiser.co.uk/news/crime/t...

Wow! Just read and think. I'm thinking of a Facebook page, quite close to home for me...... you know what I'm thinking, kids, don't you?

I had one, xmas gift 1978, bought from Barnards, Pitt St, Barnsley. I chucked it after it had been in the loft for years - a mistake in hindsight - but the TV would not work on today's signals and was b+w, of course. Large block on the side (just visible here) for mains power. Happy times!

Fantastic! But what became of Hitler's launch, i wonder? And the Lion. In the 70s there was a lion at a scrapyard in Klondyle, Barnsley (twixt Monk Bretton and Cudworth!) in the same era...

I'd rather stake everything on national investments than iffy deals to make pals rich...remember the £37m Boris test and trace deal, which failed, while Germany did it well for twelve shillings and sixpence?

That painting looks familiar....

And for the less sharp-eyed among you, the pic is Hoyland nick. How do I know? I took it while waiting for a couple of councillor chums to turn up, a little while ago. Still a photographic crutch for my stories, great to see others using it too!

Calgary! We loved our visit. Especially Inglewood....

A late finish for me, but when this drops at 5pm, what do you do, kids? What do you do? www.rotherhamadvertiser.co.uk/news/politic...

Studying Austen at sixth form could have put me off reading anything, ever. Maybe it's the way education worked in Barnsley in the early 80s? I still feel I should take legal action. That, on top of being educated at a secondary modern, masquerading as a comp!
