Sheffield. Real ale pubs. Mmmm. Nuff said.

My late father's family were from Sheffield and if we visited (60s/70s), it was either the 'Hammer & Pincers' (Bents Green), or one of my uncles would take us out to 'The Barrel' Inn at Bretton (just out into Derbyshire), for a pre-Sunday lunch 'aperitif'. Just looked them up on line and boy, have they changed since then!

Got home to find my Locomotion L&Y radial tank had been delivered. Only spoiler was not making it to 'spoons for a pint with some RMWebbers coz of having to dash back for nightshift...
