    Some cracking pubs.

    Just keep away from the football stadia and you'll be fine!

    Sheffield has a wonderful... Erm... Way out?

    I'd recommend you speak to your local GP before visiting Sheffield. Make sure you get all your jabs needed before entering, THIS IS VITAL! Also remember sheffield folk have an extra arm, this is normal as they have a high sex drive for fellow family members. Visit hillsborough too! It's a must, it remains Europes largest piggery although at the other end of the city Brammall lane is also fighting away for that title.

    Remember to use very small words when speaking to the residents, oh and speak slowly! And of all else fails 'dee' and 'dar' are seen as a suitable answer to any question. The word 'massive' is used a lot, please try not to encourage it as it has become a huge noise pollution problem within the rest of Yorkshire.

    Depends what you're after. I'd say Sheffield is light years AHEAD of most cities for culture. Spot on for pubs and nightlife too.

    The Crucible has had some good plays on over the years, Dominic West in My Fair Lady recently is one example.

    The wine bars there I'm not so fond of, more for the ladies I think, prefer Leeds for a night out.

    Sheffield is one of the top cities in the UK for real ale pubs. Off down in a couple of weeks.

    I've been all over, mate. Like I said - it just depends what you're after. If it's regular clubs/piss-ups/stag dos etc probably would be Newcastle and Leeds. Sheffield's a bit different, same with Manchester.
