I would be very surprised is someone dared to utter 'Let's surrender to the IRA!'. As a Mancunian by birth, I have a low tollerance for any organisation that decides to bomb my city centre.

mrhappy2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Life can be tough reply to ad25121048: some people deliberately want to give anybody a hard time. They could pick on anything even the clothes you are wearing! Life is too short to be worried about these w*****s. I think they get some kind of weird perverted satisfaction when you get upset. Just smile and say "have a nice day !":P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot believe it. I'm living in Norfolk at the moment with my husband and we can't wait to leave and move back to Sheffield. People are very racist round here. Not a day goes by without one of my husband's colleagues saying something racist. And they come from various social backgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedavedave Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 last year my brother was in spain and managed to go and see a couple of champions league matches, one of which was against celtic i think, and he was quite shocked at the anti english/pro IRA songs they were chanting all through the game. fortunately my bro and his mate were mistaken for spaniards! something along the lines of "aye ye can tell there spanish, just look at their fancy shoes!" just goes to show the mentality of some people who judge others solely on their appearance. doh!

Gayham Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 We live in Sheffield remember and the majority of people in the smaller out of town villages or rougher estates are racist and homophobic, it is a lack of intelligence and tolerance. It is that typical, northern, working class attitude, which quite frankly makes me hate this city. Thats why I do not go to 'local' pubs because of all the thick oiks that drink there.

spyro2000 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I suppose Sheffield is like a big village. I have noticed loads more racism here than I have back home in brum. I hope its just the mminority. When I first came to Sheffield I sort of felt a bit out of place as it isnt very multicultural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
