Jabberwocky Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 When I graced Sheffield with my presence (Before they exiled me for the sheep incident) I sometimes used to go to town on the bus. Id get onto the bus, put my pennies on the tray and say `One to town, please.` I heared other people as they got on the bus, theyd say `One to Sheffield, please` and Ive heared people from Parson cross, Ecclesfield, High green and even Hillsborough and Walkley talk about `Going into Sheffield` on shopping trips or what have you, as if it was another city to the one they were currently living in. Where I live now, people get onto the bus and say `One to Coalville` when theyre going shopping here and I still say `One to town` (The difference is I often say the word "Love" after the `One to town` bit which gets me some VERY funny looks, but old habits die hard.) but at least here there is a bit of open countryside between my estate and the actual town of Coalville. Which one are you? Do you call the city center Town or Sheffield as if its a different part of the country to you? Discuss, please, or I may have to find out where you live and move in next door to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wednesday1 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Town. It obviously depends on how far out of the city centre you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
