	Your so right AM.....it's all had a face lift and the station is still changing with more improvements to the surrounding area Sheffield used to be a dump, a steel city but thats all changed, for the best and for the worse in some ways

	"Sheffield used to be a dump" How very dare you. My father who was born there and would have been mortified to hear anyone describe it as such. I must confess however that it was not the prettiest of places. I remember that as you approached Sheffield during the 1950's and looked down towards the city centre all that you could see was a dense cloud of yellow sulphurous smoke. When you reached the centre every building was black but it was honest muck built up over many years of steel production.

	Serves you right for being SO lazy Ginns - You don't buy 'ready grated' when you can grate the real stuff in minutes for half the price !!! Dea Xxx
Member Since: February 2007 Posts: 26 550 Send Message	Gee	Report	29 Apr 2011 20:06
	I also have aother reason why I dont grate....my nails! They are real nails and I dont mind losing a bit, but I dare say my guests would ;)

	You need the right 'technique' Gins - My grand-daughter says " up and down, up and down - very gently with fingers flat against the cheese" - No nails will be lost using this method Ginns !! Dea Xxx

	All I remember about the shopping centre was that it was underground and there was a open air bit in the middle which above surface was a roundabout I think.

	I cheat when grating cheese, I put it in the processor

	Sheffield and Port Talbot....... Both now a little better,but I rather suspect Sheffield wins the contest as Port Talbot still smells of sulphur at times ........
