You say you live in Sheffield? Interesting, then, that you subscribe to that load of rubbish, and seem blissfully unaware that the "nice" area called S10 also contains the Exeter Drive area of Broomhall, and, even more astounding, the street which was known as Havelock Square (now called Holberry Gardens) which was for many years the very centre of Sheffield Prostitution.

 

I know my memory serves me very well, when I say that Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, was caught with a "working girl"in the street that runs behind the most prestigious private girls' school, Sheffield High School For Girls; and the latest murder tragedy to hit the city was on a leafy street in Crosspool. (talking of prestigious areas!)

[Epic Fail 10]

Hillsborough is a bit of a dump in all fairness. As is Stannington.

This thread is pants, someone chopped it to bits and now nothing makes sense.

[Longcol 602]

S6 also includes Walkley, the epicentre of the known universe.

Actually Hillsborough is the epicentre of the known universe, but on a galactic scale you're not far off.

[Jim Hardie 527]

S6 also includes Walkley, the epicentre of the known universe.

 

Which of these two dictionary entries for 'epicentre' did you have in mind?

 

The point on the earth’s surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake.

 

The central point of something, typically a difficult or unpleasant situation.
