The Beighton scale is probably the best known tool used to signpost hypermobility, but may also be the most misunderstood, and has limitations, even when properly applied ("Can you, or could you ever?" not just "Can you now?"). Originally designed as a research tool, it entered the diagnostic criteria for some conditions, but examines just nine of the 360+ joints in the human body.

It looks at just one direction of movement (ignoring knees and elbows that bend sideways, for example). Someone obviously hypermobile can fail to score a single point, while asymptomatic people can score a nine (and then some). So while Beighton score indicates hypermobility is present, it's of little use once that has been noted.

My new personality trait is making other people do the Beighton test so I can confirm my joints are hypermobile in comparison to others and to find other hypermobile people. Three of my coworkers score above a 6. Plus, it freaks people out, which is entertaining

Church of St Mary the Virgin High St Beighton

Church of St Mary the Virgin High St Beighton

I lived in Beighton for a few years at the end of the 80s and start of the 90s.  I knew there was a church there, because I used to hear the bells ringing from my house, but I never even went to look at it.  If you come from the railway crossing end and up the hill, you will find St Mary the Virgin on the right-hand side close to the top of the hill, look for a Church hall. The church was built…

Drapers dance school Beighton High St Sheffield

Drapers dance school Beighton High St Sheffield

I had private lessons here back in 2000 and then migrated to a dance class with a dance partner I met.  Raymond Draper used to be one of the Judges on Come dancing on a Friday from Blackpool Tower Ballroom, far better than the sickly Strictly Come Dancing.  Raymond was a British Quickstep champion.   The venue has been taken over by his son Scott.

Raymond’s wife Carol appeared in the Full Monty…

Cumberland High St Beighton

Cumberland High St Beighton

Beighton has lost 50% of its pubs, but thankfully the Cumberland which is a proper public house was still existing pre lockdown.  Can anybody tell me how long this pub has been here?

Royal Oak High St Beighton (Tesco)

Royal Oak High St Beighton (Tesco)

I lived at Beighton between the end of the 80s and start of the 90s.  I went to Toolstation at Holbrook and thought I would catch up on the village.  I was shocked to find the Royal Oak had been turned into a Tesco and the George and Dragon an Indian.  The Cumberland Arms and Belfry still exist, but that is a 50% reduction in the public houses there.

Belfry public house Beighton Sheffield.

Belfry public house Beighton Sheffield.

I lived behind the Belfry on the Southall estate for 4 years in the late 80s and early 90s.  The Belfry public house was my local for that time.  I never noticed the Bell outside the pub until yesterday.  Can anybody tell me whether the Bell is fake or real?  What is the white cross on the bell?  I actually worked behind the Bar in the Belfry for a couple of weeks, but bar work wasn’t my cup of…
