Gazza58 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 It isn't that friendly if you're a foreigner. It is if you are a friendly foreigner:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenBlade Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It's a very friendly city, talk regularly with neighbours. As for leaving your doors unlocked...We'll only a fool would, first thing that would do is probably invalidate any insurance you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwkittie Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yes it's friendly, yes we chat with the neighbours. I'd never leave my doors unlocked while I was out though and wouldn't want anyone 'letting themselves in for a cuppa', that would just be bloody weird!

sedith Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I wouldn't say its a friendly city, no! Your local Sheffielder can appear friendly but is very often nosey and two faced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 My neighbours have always been very friendly and I've lived in a few places around the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antone Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Depends where you live, I guess. I moved here a year ago to be with my finace and have found it very friendly. I'm in S7 so a proper mix of white ex-grads, white w/c, and Asian (tho within 3 houses they're Pak, Bengal and Indian so very mixed too), local shop is Yemeni. We speak to loads of people nearby and have sparked up conversations with strangers that have become friends. Having a talkative and inquisitive small boy with you often helps too We often leave back and front doors unlocked tho not while we're out of course. I moved from Bradford, which always struck me as pretty polarised and miserable. And I reckon it'd be quite different in Sheffield in an outer city place where everyone only goes out by car, or nearly everyone's old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bypassblade Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Who stands and has a chat with their neighbors nowadays? Hold on, let's turn back the clocks even further... Who leaves their doors unlocked so your neighbors can let themselves in for a cuppa? I ask, because of all the hysteria surrounding cultural integration. Is it really a problem, or are people just busier these days? Hey up Jabroni, we still chat with our neighbours and when one of them next door knocks on back door we say just come in, but they won't. I don't think it has anything to do with cultural integration, it because it's because of the thieving scum that roam our city. I don't care if someone is black, white, green or purple if they are a friend of mine they come in our home, I can remember in the 60's my mum was always popping next door, and vice versa. Sadly we cannot do this now, due to scum; in answer to your question yes I feel Sheffield is STILL A FRIENDLY city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASGOWOODS Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I live in Glasgow and "yes" it is renown for violence,murders etc: But, overall the people are really friendly and so similar to Sheffield folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Damnation Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Definitely one of the most friendly cities in the UK without a doubt. It also has a good reputation among outsiders. I often get 'Oh I hear that's a great place to live' from people all over the UK when I say I live in Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
