South Yorkshire - What An Arsehole of a Place

[Stelvio1]

Lived in S Yorks most of my life and really squirm at the recent negative publicity it gets...

Got a call from the missus today at 1730hrs - her car had ground to a halt, no electrics so hazards inoperable - all I could hear over the phone was the sound of car horns...RAC were uncontactable btw

Gave me the location and 20 mins later I arrived, pulled up behind, some distant back with hazards on - passing motorists - horns,2 fingers, etc, etc

By the way the missus works for a charity and was taking a Downs child back to his foster parents - he was absolutely terrified by the experience.

Congratulations to all you chaps (several hundred) who were delayed by a few secs going home and couldn't be bothered to pull over to see if they could be of assistance...what a pathetic bunch!!

Sheffield City of Sanctuary - I salute you..

Just to clarify - how were they uncontactable? If you had an issue getting through, might be worth tweeting or dropping a polite note to their chief exec's office. They might not be aware of a regional problem of people trying to call them.

So that is your concern then?

No. I can't help fix the whole of South Yorkshire. I grew up in Yorkshire and can empathise.

I was suggesting some constructive help to an issue you outlined which was surprising - that the RAC helpline was completely unavailable for a carer at time of need - and that they might not be aware.

Sorry I bothered. You clearly have as big a chip on your shoulder as the protagonists you reference...

Nope well balanced thanks - have chip on both shoulders - pleased you picked the least controversial bit of my post to comment on - you will fit in well in Sheffield..

Meadowhall area ..out of townies to blame no doubt...

I live is S Yorks and I tell you what cocker, I love nothing better than being back in this county when I've had to travel further afield.

Be thankful it wasn't Manchester or London she broke down in.

So you condone the motorists referred to behaviour?? because elsewhere it would/could be worse?

Lovely set of folk on here these days, how this place has changed over the years - hope you need the milk of human kindness from your fellow man/woman in the near future
