Has Sheffield Improved Over The Last 30 Years?

The city centre looks better, in my view. But, the traffic and amount of chavs/tories has ruined it for me. I miss the old Pond Street as well.

Opines?

Errant apostostrophe in 'Year's'. No reason to put one there at all.

I think the city looks a lot better than it did thirty years ago. What was so great about Pond Street?

Richard Branson never complained.

Pond Street had a certain smell and feel. A charm I would say. Lost forever.

Diesel fumes, stale urine and tab ends as I recall. With the odd sneaky whiff of puke.

I agree, the Sheffield of its time.

Spot on fellow owl. The egg box just needed a good clean, and placed Sheffield on the map. As a kid, I really believed that bees inhabited it, what we got now?

Amazing! Yes dear sir, and if the bus driver was a nice guy the 2p was forfeited. I never did the top splash. Watched many daring souls. I wish I did now. Sneaking into the 'showboat' arcade and a fantastic bag of chips next door . . . oh . . . . tears in eyes time
