Moving to Sheffield

[Bingo]

I'm doing a Masters here 2 days a week coming in on the train... is there any ust-see cool stuff I should check out? Haven't really ventured outside the city campus yet but feel I'm missing out?!

 

[Blagsta]

I lived in Sheffield for a couple of years, about 20 years ago. I loved it.

Do you like ale?

 

[UnderOpenSky]

It's next to the Peak District.

 

[Bingo]

YES I LIKE ALE!

Still aint been for a pint =(

If you come in on the train and you like ale, it would be rude not to go to The Tap for one (or five)

That's a start.

 

[Bingo]

The Tap where's that, am on train aye. Heard the Red Lion was good?

 

[blairsh]

The Tap is in the station was uncovered a few years back when some walls got knocked down (or something) and there was this ace, preserved, tiled room in there...which is no The Tap.

 

[Bingo]

Yeah I've seen it there, didn't know it had good ales in abundance tho!

You at Hallam or the proper university?

Kelham Island tavern, about 15 minutes north of the station, repeated CAMRA winner. This is next to Kelham island brewery, and you might also take in the Fat Cat, another stirling server of local drink.

Devonshire cat 10-15 minutes west - lots of Belgian beers as well as local stuff... Decor is a bit spoonsy, but it's got some good shit. Riverside cafe also near there for arty music trendy type stuff. Overlooks the River. Not been there, but met some of the people working there.

it's a pity to see the snobbery come out

Mr Loo wants to move to Sheffield, I'd love to move further north as after over 15 years here I still can't get used to how miserable everyone is.

How looks it up there for work?

What happens if you move to Sheffield with a Laaaaaaaandon accent?

 

[blairsh]

What happens if you move to Sheffield with a Laaaaaaaandon accent?

Absolutely nothing

 

[lizzieloo]

Absolutely nothing

Does that mean you're fucked? Mr Loo's a bit scared of the north

 

[blairsh]

Does that mean you're fucked? Mr Loo's a bit scared of the north

Not at all! Nothing to be scared of .....honest.

 

[lizzieloo]

I know that but then I say bath, path and bus properly

 

[blairsh]

[lizzieloo]

Much like you I expect, he's the Londoney type

 

[blairsh]

Aaaahh! Well, don't listen to some of the folk on here about it being shit, it's not. It's not the trendiest northern city granted, but who likes fucking trendy shit anyway?

 

[trashpony]

Have you met Cid? He's not exactly got a Northern accent

 

[lizzieloo]

Trendy city means pretentious twats, I hate pretentious twats. I have roots in Sheffield (dad's dad's dad's dad ), reckon I'll love it.

 

[blairsh]

Got feeling i might at some point seeing as how he knocks about with/shares studio space with people i know. I'll know for sure now anyway the next time i get introduced to a non local in a factory
