Superlative Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 It's amazing how many people have such a low opinion of Rotherham and Sheffield. Then again lookin' around It's not really that amazing to see why people don't like desolate Rotherham and Red Light Sheffield. I was born in Rotherham General Hospital, lived in Herringthorpe, moved to Ferham, went to Ferham School, moved to Wincobank (Sheffield) went to Brightside and Limpsfield. Moved again went to Birley Community College (just a secondary school then!) Moved back to Herringthorpe. Went to Clifton school and went to Thomas Rotherham College, now I'm at Sheffield University. I'm a mix of Sheffielder and a Rotherham person (very pc), I sometimes find it hard to distinguish between either. Perhaps I'm both. I love (perhaps too strong a word) and hate both just like the rest of us!! Keep moaning. Just another crazy mixed up kid then.......dont worry it never gets better but you do learn to live with it!

nick2 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 We certainly do not want supertram in Whiston....it would connect us to areas like Manor.......all the idiots would come for a night out....then TWOK a car to travel home in......no thanks we dont want Sheffields car crime statistics! No-one in their right mind would go for a night out in Whiston, unless they were a pretentious 10-bob-millionaire wannabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superlative Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Well, I was born in rotherham and lived there for 40 years, i now live in sheffield, so here are my views. Its a S*** hole. The council have single handed managed to destroy a once vibrant community. Yes Maggie played her part but the councils response has been to fill the town with people in shell suits, smoking cigs, and pushing double pushchairs with 2 scuffy kids in. None of them work and the town has become a centre for benefit scroungers and parasites. The town centre, once beautiful and leafy, with restaurants, delicatessen shops, tailors, department stores, gents outfitters, hardware shops and jewellers is now full of plywood covered windows, what everyone wants and pounlands, charity shops, amusement arcades for the scroungers and parasites and shops squatted by people selling crap toys to a population too thick to know any difference. The council have spent millions doing nothing but destroy the infrastructure and have adetermined strategy of keeping anyone not in a shell suit out of the town. Parking is whoaful, although there is nothing to go to the place for. What could you buy in rotherham that you could not get in any suburb of sheffield. The new council offices are a waste of taxpayers money, serving only to provide nighttime parking for boy racers. There is no single employer within the town boundarys of any note save the ones offering low paid employment to the few that can read and right, in call centres. I am so glad I left, I've never wanted to go back, see no reason to go back, and think that all the thickies , parasites and scroungers have got exactly what they deserve. Hey look what you said..........There is no single employer within the towns boundarys of any note save the ones offering low paid employment to the few that can read and RIGHT, in call centres......OH DEAR....what a time to make that mistake!
