Diane C Bernard
Congrats to all there present and past. I wish you 40 more and then some. I did a short stint as a (very) young teenager on Radio Sheffield in 1968. There was a teen magazine programme called "Eleven UP" - hosted by Phillip Liddell which went out on Tuesdays at about 5.30 as I recall. I did vox pops, film and concert reviews, fashion pieces. I did a piece on gliding once, from Great Hucklow Gliding Club and actually went up and talked through the landing - oh the courage of impetuous youth!! I went ghost hunting in a field in Cheshire - all sorts of off the wall things, as well as the more mundane such as how to pick up a new boyfriend in the all night laundrette. I loved every minute of it and only stopped because I went off to Finishing School in London. Some time after I ran into Peter Crabtree when he was also in London and working with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ2 I think or was it Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 1, not sure, anyway it was lovely to see him again and that was the last of my contact with anyone from that era. I think Michael Barton was the Station Manager in my day. I came to Jamaica on holiday many years ago and ended up marrying a Lawyer out here and have been here since. I must say that working for Radio Sheffield still ranks as one of the highlights of my life - it all seeemed so glamorous and exciting. Fond memories indeed. Once again well done and all the very best for the future. Sincerely, Diane C. Bernard - I was Diane Green back then.

In my opinion for what it's worth there is something for everyone on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Sheffield with great presenters. Phone In's, Sport, Music from yesteryear, a sense of humour and even those touching emotional moments you can only get on live radio. Great Stuff!!!

His Sunday morning phone in quiz show was legendary, I could never get through.

I remember the verbal battle between Arthur Scargill and Michael Cook, or "Cookie" as he was known! Michael was a very good broadcaster with a strong character who could argue his case with anyone....and usually win. I think though in this case he lost to Arthur.

Winton Cooper
He did a fantastic interview with Marty Caine the Christmas before she died. Could we hear it again?Jim

Chrid Hughes
He was holding the phone in when the man rang up for help because the wardrobe he was moving had fallen on top of him and he had then fallen downstairs.Kate

My favourite was Capstick, especially Fridays when Smithy used to come in and entertain us with his anecdotes from the courts, and I still use the radio alarm which I won by identifying a celebrity "voice", I won this on Capsticks show!

Your Barnsley Outside Broadcast Reporter
About 20-25 years ago this Reporter for Radio Sheffield used to interview Barnsley locals with unusual hobbies or pets and one day he interviewed a person who had a pet mudskipper he took for walks. It was hilarious. Ian Kassell

My first son was born on 15th November 1967 at Jessops Hospital in Sheffield. I seem to remember Radio Sheffield being born the same morning and it was the first station I listened to when I got home that morning.

Happy 40th to the station and thank you for your coverage of the flood situation it was very interesting to listen to. I was captivated by coverage. Well Done to you all. Tony Neil Morris
