Now, we all know you shouldn’t buy into every stereotype you hear. But when it comes to Sheffield, there are some that you can’t help believing in just a little bit.
Here are some things we’ve spotted that just sum it up pretty well.
We really are a friendly bunch.

We’ll help you out with any problem (even finding a pug).
And the Hendo’s love is no joke.

We’re proud of the city (and well up for a natter on public transport).

We’ve got some great slang…

And we’re definitely not afraid of using it wherever possible.

We’re a pretty outdoorsy city.

And things can get a little eccentric, especially in the antiques quarter.

There’s a pretty casual approach to life here.

Oh – you definitely need to be OK with hills by the way.
Don’t get us started on Meadowhall (even though we all go there really).
We’re proud of the city’s heritage.

But we’re pretty down to earth.

We don’t like to dress things up too much.

And we definitely don’t mince our words.

But we’re a load of softies really – remember the time we held a funeral for a dead worm found in a cucumber?

…And a memorial for a felled tree.

So there you go, we wouldn’t have it any other way – would you?
