However, say the wrong thing and you can quickly outstay that welcome.
These are just some of the things guaranteed to rub a Sheffielder up the wrong way. We’d love to hear your suggestions of what else annoys you.
9. It's a bit hilly round here
Yes it is, and nowhere more so than Blake Street, which, with its 16.6 degree gradient, has been named the UK's third steepest road. But there's no need to keep going on about it, and the good thing about all those hills is the amazing views when you reach the top. Photo: Andrew Roe
10. Is there much of a music scene in Sheffield?
You shouldn't need to ask. Sheffield has given the music world so much, from Def Leppard and Human League to Pulp and the Arctic Monkeys, to name just a few. Self Esteem's amazing set at Glastonbury recently made headlines too, not least for her Meadowhall-inspired outfit. Photo: Anthony Devlin/PA Wire
11. They don't make anything in Sheffield anymore, do they?
Yes, they do. Made in Sheffield remains an internationally recognised stamp of quality, and it's not just steel either. These days the city produces everything from arts and crafts to video games and healthcare technology. Photo: Simon Hulme
12. The Full Monty's not really that good, is it?
There's a reason this feel-good comedy about a plucky group of down on their luck steelworkers became a global sensation. Twenty-six years on it has definitely stood the test of time. So much so that it was revived for a Disney+ TV series catching us up with our favourite characters. It is available to watch now. Photo: Disney+
