daducky88 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hello All I,m new to this forum and Sheffied. As I,m hunting for somewhere to live and dealing with my new job I,m meeting a lot of new people. What would you say are the differentiating characteristics of people from Sheffield? The good ones, the bad ones, the unusual ones? Thanks Da ducky88 PS if any has a property to let south of crooks and west of the centre, drop me a pm, thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister M Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I don't think that there are differentiating characteristics of the people of Sheffield - not that I've noticed anyway! I think that like most big cities, we've got a large influx of people from other towns and cities in the UK given that we have 2 big universities. Whether or not that has diluted Sheffielder's characteristics, who knows? I've lived in both Leeds and Manchester, and I prefer the pace of life in Sheffield to either of those cities. I've been here, on and off for 26 years. Enjoy your stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 They complain incessantly about someone who is dead called Maggie who is still out to get them and makes nasty things happen from beyond the grave. They see Thee and Thar a lot so are called DeeDars. And don't ever say that Stones is crap (it is we all know that) but if you do then it's hanging from a lamppost time. They are also insanely jealouos of Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzijlstra Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 When I moved here I was amazed at how friendly the city is and it is that because of its people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloke Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 When I moved here I was amazed at how friendly the city is and it is that because of its people. Hmmm... now if only all the people who've moved here were as friendly as the locals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennpickard Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Welcome to daducky 88. May you live to see the Owls or the Blades win the European championship !!! Yes many from the outside have moved to Sheffield so that must engineer some DNA changes. When I was a lad in Attercliffe, a few years ago ! I only remember an Irish family (good fit pleasant people) and a lady from Belgium. All the rest "Deedars" as Obelix said. If I was to estimate I would say the influx has been for the better of the city. Whoever the future non "DeeDars" are though, they must be prepared to integrate into the mix and become part of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
