  1. Which are eclipsed by the large number of affluent, stunning suburbs
  2. Also interested in anyone having 2 tickets theyā€™d like to sell
  3. Not run down at all. Itā€™s highly gentrified now and very safe! Sure thereā€™s still plenty of industrial developments but mixed with the bars, restaurants etc is what makes it so unique and quirky. If you go for a wander around, be sure to do so both in the day and evening as it will look very different and be mindful that the best places are off the beaten track
  4. This fine city has lagged behind most of the other major cities for decades in many aspects - all whilst a labour council has been in charge. I think itā€™s high time for a more progressive party to take the city forward with more ambition This will never happen as (as I perceive it) most labour voters do so because their parents, grandparents voted labour so they do as such
  5. Agreed. Probably the best post Iā€™ve read on various forums all day.
  6. Hi Can anyone recommend any good local car window tinters? Thanks in advance
  7. What a disgusting reply. What is your point? Are you somewhat resentful because someone has worked very hard to do something satisfying for themselves and others and to play a part in progressing an area of our wonderful city. And especially by someone not native to our city and country. I wish Alexa and her mum all the best and am very proud of them both
  8. I imagine many people woke early this morning to the Rave Sounded like from the Grenoside area - can anyone confirm?
  9. As a business owner paying my staff weekly is much better than monthly. Ā£10k a week is much easier to swallow than Ā£40-50k a month especially if customers donā€™t pay me when expected at least if they donā€™t I have more chance of getting through a short term problem by paying weekly. Additionally my staff would be asking for subs after 2 weeks on monthly
  10. Not my experience at all. Iā€™ve met LOADS of people far and wide on my travels that have heard of Sheffield and similarly to an above poster - Iā€™ve had lots of foreigners say things like ā€œI was there a couple of weeks agoā€ and things like ā€œyeah I went to the Leadmill there oneā€. Gatecrasher is another one often quoted. In fact Iā€™ve heard this one far more than anything about cutlery.
  11. I think it all depends on how big the English cities ā€˜feelā€™ as major urban areas despite what figures are quoted. Excluding London for obvious reasons, Iā€™d only class Birmingham and Manchester as ā€˜feelingā€™ considerably larger (although Birmingham appears as dull and depressing as hell). Leeds feels fairly substantial around the centre but not very sprawling. Liverpool, Bristol and at a stretch Newcastle appear on par with Sheffield and thatā€™s about it. Leicester, Nottingham, Derby etc seem MUCH smaller no matter what wikipedia etc suggests.
  12. Iā€™ve mostly travelled around Europe most of my life so canā€™t really comment on the global scale but canā€™t recall anyone Iā€™ve met not having heard of Sheffield and nor can I recall anyone saying anything negative about the city, quite the opposite in fact. Wish I could say the same for the natives. Im born and bred here and without wearing rose tinted spectacles I love living here. Granted, I have my own highly successful business and live in a nice area etc so am fortunate enough to experience a nice lifestyle here. I acknowledge we donā€™t produce the wealth of neighbouring cities like Leeds and Manchester but Sheffield is to me a far more interesting place. Itā€™s quite hip and quirky and think we should appreciate these aspects. However, Sheffieldā€™s big city feel is definitely starting to ramp up now. There are cranes everywhere which signifies investment in the business and residential sectors. Compared with many other medium to large English cities, Sheffield is quite unique in many ways and I think itā€™s a pretty good place to live. I think the the problem with many nativeā€™s negative attitude is simply because they donā€™t go out and explore what the city has to offer. I speak to so many locals who have no knowledge whatsoever of many places I mention that weā€™ve visited - including bars, restaurants, galleries, independent shops, parks/woods etc etc. And lastly - many people see some European cities (for instance) as amazing solely because the weather is usually better. I have family members who live abroad in reasonable sized cities and let me tell you, they can be the most boring places when the sun isnā€™t shining.
  13. Me too Iā€™ve not seen any that offends or looks like an eyesore
  14. Having looked up Esteli on Wikipedia Iā€™m struggling to find any similarities whatsoever?!?
  15. My experiences have been totally the opposite - a couple of examples off the top of my head:- - 2 German guys in a tobacconists in south of France ā€œah Sheffield, we love Sheffield!ā€ - a waiter in a cool bar/restaurant in Formentera (from BCN) ā€œSheffield - amazing city!ā€ (I suspect he have studied here)
