Peoples Republic of West Yorkshire

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

:von: didn't invent the phrase.

It was more commonly used of Sheffield: The People's Republic of South Yorkshire

I recently heard the Sisters being played on the radio, in a car, as it was passing me on the road.

Blow.Me.

p.31 of Chris Connelly's book has this "... he regaled me with stories about the Sisters of Mercy and their shenanigans"

I nearly fell off my chair!!! :eek:
