Andy Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 How do you know people moaning from here are from sheffield or reside in city? Some are and some of not, so what's your point? In most cases you can tell where they are from by reading their location under their user name. In other cases you can tell by reading their posts. ---------- Post added 26-06-2014 at 20:29 ---------- We were told by the self regarding city councilors that the World Student Games was a 'world class event'. A cigar for anyone that can tell me which cities subsequent games have been held in. We're still paying for their ego trip. Yet still the same councillors win elections. Why don't people vote for someone else if they're that unhappy with the council? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather use my method which is likely to pin-point the exact building thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesnt know if they are from Sheffield, but its still a reasonable presumption that the majority of posters have some link to Sheffield.

I love Sheffield to bits, but you do start to appreciate its foibles when you spend time living elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi Sheffielders are you like me and getting fed up of hearing about Leeds been the great city of the North . Look North should be told that there is a far greater city up north . The place of my birth CITY of SHEFFIELD . After all how many world changing Inventions IE Steel Silver-plate Stainless steel and not to mention forging the crank shafts for the World WII Spitfire .So come on Look North and stop telling me Leeds is the great city of the north when we in Sheffield know different. Yes it once was a proud city. Not anymore. Did you see the programme Police Under Pressure. It is no good dwelling on the past we need to look to the future to try and solve some of these problems. Perhaps we need to get advice from the Leeds council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellyman Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'm not sure that the pretty countryside is the main problem. There is some quite intense geography between here and manchester which would prove costly to build a safe fast road on. Aren't there tunnels through the Alps and another under the English Channel? They even built one under the Mersey about 80 years ago. It seems the victorians could even build railway lines between Sheffield and Manchester with the odd tunnel on the way.

dutch Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I don't care if the city is great or not. I just like living here. It is so great to still see an insightful, understanding comment in such a stupid topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 So are we the only city/town with problems? If you want to take the doom and gloom glasses off and try to be more aware of our surroundings you may be surprised. When I go somewhere local where I have not been for a while, it surprises me how much change there is, went through catcliffe yesterday and was amazed at the industrial units and opportunities there, if these are not positive what is?. We have the finest countryside in the world on our doorsteps and the freedom to enjoy it, we are central to england and so can travel in any direction, and whichever way you turn there are trees and greenery everywhere, yes we have hills but the positive is when you have struggled up one the view is amazing now we do not have the smog of yesteryear, and then you can go down the other side and see the diversity of sheffield, yes our council may be neanderthal and as fast moving as our traffic but we have a thriving undercurrant of doing things we are best at and not just following the crowds. If you think Leeds or Manchester have better shopping then go there and when you come back appreciate the difference, what else have these two places got, does not the phrase 'Made in Sheffield' still have a worldwide significance and make you proud, what can you buy from other places that has the places name on it?.
