Although Sheffield scores pretty low in the cultural stakes it does have the opportunity to achieve national status as the gum capital of the country.Or Centre of Sticky-Pavement Excellence.
Sheffield folk need to support the initiative by filling in the pavement areas as yet uncovered with gum.
It is envisaged that the powers-that-be -Hallam University etc -
would back the public effort with their expertise and perhaps
provide some suitable Honorary Degree for the Chewing champions.Wrigleys who have 90% of the edible gum market in the Uk might also be encouraged to get involved -not forgetting
Goodyear in the USA who supply the rubber substitute now used in the gum making.
Let's put behind us the memories of Sheffield Airport,Student Games and Pop Music Centre -and get those streets aglow with gum.

Well spotted Bazzo. I have also noticed this phenomenon. Second in the league of mouth born pavement projectiles is Phlegm. How difficult can it be to retain lung butter until you have got home.
