espadrille Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I currently live in a place were everyone wears shorts all the time in the summer even to go to the bar and eat, I have maybe wore a pair of long trousers twice in the last month. But in preping for England I tried asking my dad what people wear out in Sheffield these days. I was sternly told he would be seen dead with me in the pub if I wore shorts (he's old school), So if anyone can enlighten me, have things changed? Do I need trousers, no jeans, collared shirt and no trainers to go downtown on the weekend. Are flip-flops in the pub allowed? or will I just get "look at that Tw*t" when I go out? StJohn You would freeze to death in flipflops!!Nothing but rain here!!Remember, England..June..equals water!!Wimbledon and Glastonbury!! equals water. More likely that you would look good in just a pair of jeans and a nice top and decent trainers.Nobody cares that much, but flip flops are for holidays abroad on the beach.!!

Eater Sundae Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 If you remember the Botanical Gardens - with its rather dilapidated glass houses. Well, it was all tarted up a couple of years ago, including new glass corridors to connect the buildings, Its a bit like the Winter Gardens, which are roughly where the town hall eggbox extension used to be.
