Looseal   10 #230 Posted September 10, 2008 Someone once said to me that you can't argue with stupid people......  Anyhoo, I have been stunned by the cost of most stuff up here. Yes, house prices are relatively cheaper BUT it is still similar to London in that the places you could afford to live aren't necessarily where you'd like to live.  I was also appalled (sp?) by the cost of gym membership!! Obviously this isn't a sheffield thing, more a company thing, but previously i've been able to use my local authority leisure centre (4 in the borough) at a fraction of the cost!  One last thing, i'm now having to use the car to get to work etc and my petrol are costs about £250 per month. My travelcard in London was just over £100.  Doesn't make me hate Sheffield though. That's life isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'm sure our friend Sheffy will reciprocate in kind.  OR... he'll say that at least you won't get stabbed by an irate Iranian businessman, whilst running 27 hours late if you go to the gym or get public transport in Sheffield.

Looseal   10 #235 Posted September 10, 2008 Sheffy you're funny! I appreciate its not intentional but still.  I love the way you totally make stuff up - its brilliant!!  argue (REASON) verb [i or T] to give the reasons for your opinion, idea, belief, etc: The minister argued for/in favour of/against making cuts in military spending. [+ that] The minister argued that cuts in military spending were needed. You can argue the case either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
