    I’m glad that one didn’t go off when it landed, the pizza counter would have been closed throughout the war.

    Abart 25 years back used to find em all the time when doing the muckshift in Rotherham for the new roads, just other side of their new ground.. infact we got so used to em.. we'd put em to one side until Friday dinner time, to stop the job... Then to the pub and have a bit longer weekend...

    Used to play footy n allsorts darn there as a young in before the ASDA was built. We probably used that old WW2 bomb as one of the posh DIY goalposts at some point not realising it.

    I used to work up at Koyo bearings. About 10 years ago I was working there and some contractors found one at the back of the factory. They only closed half of the factory and left the other half working. Guess which half I was in? :confused:
