Oops I always get them mixed up… Senior moment.

It was more likely Sheff U, who have just beaten Crystal Palace 3-1 away.

You can just about see Sheffield Cathedral spire from the run in from Meadowhall but you have to know what you are looking for, as it doesn’t stand out much. I literally looked two minutes ago.

Or seeing things differently when you are older that you didn’t notice when you were younger?

Spoke to an RMT member tonight. He hasn’t made his mind up which way to vote yet, but he considered the news about the bonus would sway him more than the daft remarks.

All of the above seem to be aimed at people who are already at stations or on a rail website. Not necessarily bad, but not attracting new custom. In any case, until staff and infrastructure are sorted out, do we want to attract new leisure users to a potentially disappointing experience?

Sorry, what does MLRS stand for, and what does it do?

Really, meerkats should have a South African accent, but I suppose in world terms it’s like having a Brummie accent in the UK. (Runs for cover!)

Old people like me and you will remember the comedian Stanley Baxter. He did a spoof advert saying ‘Dettox kills 99% of all known germs!’ Stanley appeared dressed as a germ (though it looked like a spider) and said, in his beautiful Scottish accent, ‘As a germ, I am not well-known.’

We get the National Express West Midlands ‘Platinum’ 50 service from there at 1934 to Birmingham Digbeth coach station arriving at 1952 on Saturday evening.

Manea? Clutching at straws as I think a Mane is an old Roman ghost.

The only two brands I would consider ‘superior’ to own brands are Bisto Gravy Granules and Domestos bleach. It will be a sad day for me when you can’t get these for a quid at cheap shops. The gravy is definitely better, but the bleach might be a perception.

Erm…depends how clumsy you are on the toilet. Anybody been to Poundland recently? Not picking on them as it’s the same everywhere, but it should really be called £1.25land.

“Antonia…… [Several minutes silence] Do you think we should get a tie as a forlorn memory of our fleeting encounter here?”

Somewhat OT, but my friends and I used to play hide-and-seek in LS Lowry’s back garden. He had a housekeeper to look after his daily needs, but his large garden was a jungle. He was well known and respected in the village of Mottram, and people would say ‘Good Morning, Mr Lowry’ and he would...

As somebody said, the defibrillator does give very clear instructions, but in an emergency it is sometimes hard to keep a clear head, especially if you are unfamiliar. I’m glad I’ve been trained. One thing that I wasn’t clear on - and I wished I’d asked more about at the time - was that it...

‘Oranges and Lemons say the bells of St Clement’s’ here in Sheffield, though when I was a kid in the 60s, Fairclough’s of Stalybridge were much more highbrow and played ‘The Merry Widow’.

Manchester Chorlton St coach station had a banksman last time I used it. On the other hand Barnsley does not: there is no reason for people to be behind the buses, and the area for reversing is very large.

Indeed, he did not drive. I lived in Mottram and my dad and I got on the same bus as him when I was five.

Perhaps they ditched the through tickets because few people used them and it was more trouble than it was worth? There is a tale -I don’t know if it’s true - that only eight through tickets from Leeds were sold in a whole year. I find it unlikely as me and two friends managed 16 in a year from...
