A collection of Twitter’s most savage take-downs of Sheffield
‘West Street Live is very weird’
Whether you're at University of Sheffield or Sheffield Hallam, you'll have come to know Sheffield pretty well, as well as all of it's pitfalls (hills, the Diamond, West Street Live on a Sunday) and it's highlights (Peace Gardens, Ecclesall Road, West Street Live on a Sunday).
Whilst Sheffield may be a great city with a vibrant nightlife, boutique shops and the Peak District on the doorstep, that doesn't mean it escapes ridicule.
So, here are some of the most mildly amusing tweets about Sheffield in one handy, John's Van size list.
