999tigger Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I really hope this forum isnt reflective of Sheffield (that would be depressing) and it isnt of the one I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuttsie Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Always looking backwards, poor spelling and punctuation. That's Sheffield. You have got it in one Albert.  ---------- Post added 21-08-2014 at 11:57 ----------  Mine would be lack of efficiency or council inefficiency Unfinished projects, pipe dreams and wasted resources  Then hills upon hills upon hills upon hills upon hills upon hills  The only football team in the world that has a day named after it  Then there is fish cakes, bread cakes, baps and Henderson's Relish  Then there is Don Valley Stadium, an ill effect of the World Student Games  Then there is the Hillsborough disaster, which has scarred the city for decades  There was industry now no industry, markets now no markets and lots of chuggers Item four is wrong.

petemcewan Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 It's pointless asking sheffielders what defines sheffield though isn't it - surely it's what other people who aren't totally familiar with sheffield think of us/it. Â Background: Born Manchester,worked 30yrs in London. Moved back North 2yrs ago. Now live in Sheffield. Â In my opinion.The follwoing defines Sheffield: It's rich Industrial History. It's geography -situated not very far from the Peak District National Park. In my experience-the generally kind and considerate people. Their accents and sense of humour. The low price of exceptionally strong beer ! The Universities. And many other aspects of Yorkshire life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I don't think anything at the moment. It doesn't seem to be doing much to promote itself nationally. Â We've had steel, Hendersons, football, Meadowhall, Full Monty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelmum Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'd say lots of great music bands, and that it's built on seven hills, so not great for cycling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyR Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Moaning, grumbling and negativity. Â Underachievement. Â Jonny5 See previous post... Â Â The hills define sheffield for me - people are formed by their environment. Â And the beautiful accent.

Event Horizo Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 N early forgot eating mussels, whelks and cockles and then having a cuppa at Sharrons in't Castle Market. Â I can handle a cuppa but certain seafood you have mentioned i can't stomach. I'll do a prawn cocktail anyday :gag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
