> present stood up and said what they wanted included in the new strategy.
> can you believe 25 minutes talk about Sheffield's culture without
> mentioning steel or cutlery?

> I said my piece and will follow up in writing to try to ensure these

> Brearly's discovery of stainless, was it the same year he had it made
> into cutlery at Portland? We should publicise that.
