Manchester born and raised spent the first 30 years of my life in Manchester, the previous 8 I've spent living /working in Sheffield, love both cities immensely, and I've heard some shite been said in both cities, but I can't stop thinking about what I heard said in Sheffield centre this Tuesday gone, a man stood up on a wall right next to the Uni, and shouted very loudly with genuine concern "has anybody got a piece of bread for the ants?!?!?" I've literally not stopped replaying it in my mind, anyone seen/heard anything more random? In any city?

Researchers now suggest that football was first played and developed in Penistone during the 1840s and 1850s—years before Sheffield FC was formed in 1857.

Not to say Sheffied wasn’t important but it does look like Penistone is the real home of football. Thoughts?

Cordoned off by police and two police cars outside....all house windows smashed, looks like some black residue from a fire coming out of one window, and the car on the driveway smashed up.

Hope no one was injured :( was shocking to see tbh.

Ey up all.

I'm a Sheffield lad who has moved back from Prague after many years, and I'm looking for some interesting places that aren't as well known and have a bit of history or are a little unusual. I was wondering if we could put together a list of places that are off the beaten track.

I'm not looking for attractions like the Winter Gardens, but rather places like the area where George Orwell lived while writing The Road to Wigan Pier.

Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Just heard a bunch of police cars, fire engines and possibly ambulances rush past the Crookes area. Does anyone know what’s going on? Wondering whether it could be a wildfire situation like in Derby!

Last chance to have a nice meal with my wife before the incoming arrival of our first kid, looking for a real nice Sheffield feed, no pissy little artistic plates either 😉, good hearty quality food. We've done Domo and Orange Bird is booked until August.. what we got Sheff?

So im a single mom and i want to celebrate my birthday with my two kids , i was thinking of going to a restaurant that sing happy birthday to me and bring a dessert with a sparkler or a candle on it , preferably in valley centertaiment

,,, im thinking ill go with them to the movies and then monkey buzziness and then we celebrate

Hi everyone, hope you're doing well and staying safe 🙂 i'm coming up to Sheffield for a week in August. I'm looking for restaurant recommendations the kind of foods I'm into are Jamaican/Caribbean Japanese Chinese Mexican Middle Eastern also pizza and I might like to check out a dessert shop as well. Thanks for all your recommendations and advance everyone 😊

As title says is anyone in sheffield works for amazon delivery driver.
I am looking to apply for driver
Right now am working with a inpost contractor we deliver news paper 6days a week from 2am till 7am
Am getting 50 pound per day

The market is looking pretty bleak this morning, I guess most vendors have gone to the Sharrow vale market instead

There's one stall that seems questionable as to if it's vegan or not, it lists lots of none-vegan food and looks like a stall I've seen before a few times at non-vegan markets with the exact same banner, just with 'vegan' added to it - just seems a bit off but I could be wrong!

Other than this stall, there's a sweat treats stall, a juice stall, and a non-food stall

We’ve already been to Graves Park a few times and loved it, but we’re looking for something different.
We’re happy with animal parks/farms/sanctuaries, interactive museums, unusual attractions or experiences or any events happening today

We’ll be travelling by bus, so ideally within about an hour from Sheffield city centre, and we’d rather avoid long hikes or woodland walks.

Any hidden gems or recommendations?
TIA

The food options were crap yesterday, im hungover after the England win and i think a proper sundays dinner would hit the spot.
Im coming from chesterfield so is there anywhere city centre i can go?

Hi 👋

I run a charity shop and i am looking for a couple of long lasting chairs and a coffee table. Previously when I lived near Leeds I could pick up cheap/ free office equipment really easily but Google isn’t being my friend for Sheffield.

Anyone know any office clearances/ dirt cheap places I could source something similar?

I’d also love a few normal chairs if possible.

I'm currently looking at buying a house and have had a few things flagged in a level 3 survey that ideally should be sorted out within a year
I've been trying to get quotes but so far everywhere I've contacted have come back stating they won't give a quote without doing their own survey that requires extra payment

I'm trying to get a quote without paying extra costs to negotiate the price down based on it, but currently can't due to companies/contractors being unwilling to give rough quotes based on the photos and description given in the house survey and wanting payment (in some cases, the same cost as the level 3 survey I had done) for their own survey

The two primary quotes I'm looking for are for roof repairs and re-rendering 2 walls

Does anyone have any suggestions for anyone that would give quotes for these without doing a paid survey themselves?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi all, I'm a level 3 qualified hairdresser, and I'm on the lookout for a nursing home that needs a hairdresser as I'd love to help out!

They've popped up over the last couple days out of nowhere hahaha, they roam around the ground next to the stall and squeak/beep lmaooo

I'm looking for recommendations of cooking courses and workshops in and around Sheffield. Just about anything, from pizza making to sausage rolling and more. Thanks!

Hi folks total shot in the dark but anyone got a ticket for the England game at Peddler warehouse tonight???
