Looking them up on the map, I found them all rather difficult (or taking a long time) to get to by public transport. Therefore, I know there are plenty of fascinating and beautiful spots in the city; it was just not possible for us to get there on our own.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-28651605524003667452014-08-04T14:45:20.951+02:002014-08-04T14:45:20.951+02:00With so many places still to see in life I think I...With so many places still to see in life I think I may give a re-visit to Sheffield a miss.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-73583141656334646832014-08-04T07:33:23.780+02:002014-08-04T07:33:23.780+02:00Das stimmt wohl, nur waren wir bisher sehr verwöhn...Das stimmt wohl, nur waren wir bisher sehr verwöhnt nach dem tollen Häusle, das wir hatten, und dem guten Service und leckeren Essen überall.

What passed for "orange juice" there was a yellow sugary liquid even I couldn't drink, and usually I don't mind sweet drinks.<br />A lot has been done in Sheffield; many of the buildings are well cared for, and there is clearly pride of place in the immediate centre. All the more it's a shame that there is so much rubbish along the river, where otherwise you could have such nice relaxing walks and views.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-9591396443159763572014-08-04T07:30:05.222+02:002014-08-04T07:30:05.222+02:00That's right, I much rather rely on recommenda...That's right, I much rather rely on recommendations made by someone I know than by those on various internet platforms; you never know how real those are.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-25703022828839568542014-08-04T00:23:38.705+02:002014-08-04T00:23:38.705+02:00Hoer mal, das hoert sich alles so richtig ‘classic...Hoer mal, das hoert sich alles so richtig ‘classic Brtitish’ an.

That was really good, and bang in the middle of the city centre.<br />Next time, just make sure you are available as our tour guide, YP - preferably without long red robes.

No one has ever called me Mr Kindly-Odd before. I hope it doesn't catch on. Visitors pay quite a lot to stay in any Holiday Inn. Sounds like the service you received was not entirely up to scratch. On Trip Advisor The Holiday Inn Express is ranked number 13 out of 57 hotels in Sheffield.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-20788506354741852162014-08-03T18:46:38.946+02:002014-08-03T18:46:38.946+02:00I am sorry that so many things went wrong at the e...I am sorry that so many things went wrong at the end of your visit, but confident that most of that will slowly fade from your memory and the good memories will strengthen!
