The Union flag in the road looks good, as does the Café with polka dots.

Ahh Hendersons Relish. A truly iconic Sheffield brand.
Spent many a Saturday in Castle Market after coming back from Herringthorpe Leisure centre to get a pie and peas in the market with loads of relish.
I get my brother to bring me a case down when he comes to visit.
Thanks for posting mate!

Aah indeed! A blast from my University past, Castle Market for me too,and Hendersons Relish,happy days!The last bottle I had[for my own exclusive use] was about 4 years ago,an d I havent seen it on sale anywhere since,I think that bottle came from Morrisons.So,other than the manufacturers,can I buy it at any national chain do you know ?And Cumbrians{I know youre there,I can hear you breathing],If you find any let me know,and buy some yourself and keep a quality British brand on the go!

Funnily enough, where I live in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, the local garage used to sell it, but its mostly Morrisons in Sheffield. I have never seen it anywhere else in he country, my wife thought it was the same as Worcester sauce, until she was re educated!!

My mate has just sent me a text from the Yorkshire hotel he is booked into for the weekend to tell me that he was informed that breakfast is 8am-10am...when pointed out that it might be an idea to serve it earlier due to the Tour being on and people maybe wanting to set off earlier he was told "thee can set off t'early if thee t'want" or whatever they say "but thee'll go on t'empty belly". So he has gone elsewhere for an evening meal and a few beers and has no intention of spending any more money in the place he is sleeping at. Nowt as queer as Yorkshire folk. Does not seem as all of Yorkshire is welcoming the Tour.
Hmmm, Hendos...
Castle market is now deceased though. A brand new market hall has opened halfway down The Moor.
I think the plan is to open up the dungeons/ruins of Sheffield Castle to public view eventually.
Looking forward to the Tour kicking off!

And to balance the above, I just got texts from a couple of other mates and they are having a whale of a time, great hotels and fantastic atmosphere. Seems the locals are out in force in the pubs as are the visitors; many beers seem to be flowing. And they were out earlier on their bikes and said it was amazing.

Some Scottish folk can't help but say how we should behave.
Would you go abroad and expect them to adapt to suit you?

I'm not telling you how to behave, you can behave any way you want. If that's how that particular person wants to run their business then that is up to them. Other Yorkshire men and women will no doubt behave differently and see the benefit.

Come on chaps, let's not turn it into a Scotland v England thing. It's just a lighthearted thread about people supporting Le Tour...
