mikey   10 #13 Posted June 18, 2003 Nope born in Sheffield - Heeley, emigrated to Canada when I was about 7 but we only lasted 1 year.......doh. Parents didn't get on with it.  I could have been still there now.  Yeah we went all over Toronto , Lakes etc Don't remember too much about it, but I know it was bloody cold in winter and hot in summer.  Are there any forums like this in Hamilton? I wouldn't mind chatting with a few people in that area to see what is happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

si@guisborough   10 #20 Posted July 6, 2003 I lived in Sheffield from 1989 to 1995, and it felt like home. Then got a better job at Brittish Steel on Teesside, and moved from one dying steel town to another, although here I can afford to live 10 miles out, over the hill in a dormitory town called Guisborough. Still miss Sheffield (used to work for Porter Plant / Fence Hire . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jules Student   10 #24 Posted July 15, 2003 I moved to London in 1989 and am on my way back soon to study at the University - all I can say is 'it's grim down south'. Travelling 2 1/2 hours every day just to get to and from work aint my idea of fun. And the people - they're all so miserable / unhelpful / down right rude. I can't wait to come back!
