Where do expat forumers live now?

Recommended Posts

The first 47 years of my life I lived in Sheffield - S3 (centre) S8, S11 and S35. Then moved to Westward Ho! in north Devon, next Dursley in Glos and for the last 10 years here in Dorchester, Dorset where I will probably stay. However, I still cannot help using the same Sheffield-isms because I say them automatically. The other day I asked someone who was upset about something if it had "knocked her duck off". It isn't until you see the confused look on their faces that you play it back in your head and realise how strange it does actually sound to a non-Sheffielder.

Hey ho! I am a Sheffielder inside and always will be. Not a thing anyone can do about it even if they wanted to.

Hi stephen 7. I only moved as far as Dorset but there are people on here from just about all four corners of the world. I'm sure that you will be in touch with quite a few over time. They are a smashing lot and always very helpful. I hope you enjoy being one of us. Welcome.

You will never guess where I moved to, not in a million years. :wink:

Seriously though, I often miss Sheffield, that's why I have been back several times. Plus I still have lots of friends and relatives over there.

Yes it has changed, but what hasn't these days. I left in 1981 and didn't come back for a few years and even then there was a massive difference, it seemed like the whole Country had been Americanised lol. McDonalds , ice hockey, interest in NFL football , lots of stuff that wasn't around before I left.
