Plain Talker Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 It's just an easy reference point that's all! as places like Oldham,Bury and Bolton are outside it. Just like the M25 round London. Sheffield is a funny shape on the map anyway from north to south, whereas Manchester is more like a circular/squarish shape that most city areas tend to look like. I could believe that because unlike these American Actors Like Stallone, (Everton Fan?) oh Tom Hanks (Villa?) Because Beano is from Sheffield it is more believable that it isn't just a P.R Stunt by playing up his "roots" in order to make him more appealing. When he might be nothing like that! If he loves Sheffield so much then why live in London most of the time? Even if his work is there it's not like he couldn't afford to fly down there! there's also the myth that all women, and all Sheffield women, and Blades women in particular like this "Bit o' Rough". I can quite categorically scotch that one. I'm a blade and I can't abide him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_1 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I see this thread has not seen some action for a while, any new myths surfaced recently? Apparently someone thought United had a chance of getting promoted this year, personally I don't think anyone could really be that daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meadowhall? wasn't it originally designed as a prison, or something? *sits back with glass of cola and her popcorn!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winner99 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Meadowhall? wasn't it originally designed as a prison, or something? *sits back with glass of cola and her popcorn!* I thought it was going to be a bodybag factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boothybabe Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Maggie Thatcher loved Sheffield. She loved it more than she did Goldthorpe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old tup Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The one about the red-indian buried at Wardsend is definitely a myth,he was fataly injured when his horse fell on him in a renactment of an Indian attack in Buffalo Bills touring Wild West show at Owlerton!.He died in the Royal Infirmary after a few days,his body was taken by train to London where it was buried,Buffalo Bill wrote to the hospital thanking them for the care and effort trying to save him!. ---------- Post added 03-02-2014 at 09:59 ---------- Not a myth but fact I don,t know if its still there but in the 80s with a group of regulars from our local Wards pub we visited the brewery now Sheaf Island Wetherspoons!.On the tour we were taken into a tunnel beneath Ecclesall Rd,in the middle was a small room where we sampled different brews,all the time you could hear traffic above your head a very funny experience not for anyone with claustrophobia!.

Chris_B_1983 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Does anyone here remember a thread about Sheffield Myths, a good few years ago? I have just stumbled upon a group of the same name on Facebook. Not much there yet, but may be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
