Cath runs a Café in the market and every week she puts on “Single Ladies Tuesday” where the local lonely hearts can come and try to find romance. Marilyn is one of these women who is lumbered with looking after her cantankerous and demanding mother as well as searching for love. “All The Single Ladies” is the latest comedy from MaD Theatre Company which explores the modern phenomenon of the ‘Sandwich Generation’ where people find themselves looking after their adult children as well as their ailing parents.

Whitfield Avenue the place of my childhood

The best of times and the worst of times. But many many fond memories.

Did you have a gang, who was in it. The Kirks, Anthony Mathews, Ste Parker, Vince (aka the baron) Mark Power. Meeting at the planny gates. We thought we were dead hard, ask the kids from Whitfield park fire station houses. Lyn Waterhouse Jo Sparkes and her brother. Wonder if the green man ever found out who did a dump on his car.

Do you remember the car chase from Gamesley up onto Moorfield where we had a bit of a scrap.

What about the Barn? Yes Mr Walster we did think we were as good as Status Quo. Didn’t we once make our own rockets and a bomb and even had a disco at the barn.

Does Jill still ride her horse up and down the Ave. A couple of us had a bit of a crush didn’t we Ste.

Football and cricket the Murrays, Thornleys and the Twinnies remember do you in front of the Murrays house?
