The battle for Barnsley Town Centre

..........is lost.

The Labour council and police have managed between them to turn Barnsley Town Centre into:
A building site.
Full of Intimidating groups intent on staring at other groups and individuals.
No shops.
Full of badly dressed people intent on shouting and swearing (which never used to happen).
Reduction in number of pubs (which I thought I'd never see)
Very few cafes and restaurants.

The whole place now is no bigger or better than a very small insignificant market town.
You haven't got far to go out of the Barnsley District to find more welcoming and lively little villages / towns.

 

Personally I don't care how badly dressed people are. Frankly quite a lot would think that you look stupid with what you wear too.

The reason it is a building site is because millions upon millions are being spent revamping the place. You can't do that without TEMPORARY disruption.

 

If you don't care about how badly people are dressed then you must be one of them.
Go to London - or even main parts of Sheffield and Leeds and it's striking the difference in appearance of people when you get off the train in Barnsley.
Shocking.

 

I don't go to London, Leeds or Sheffield. I'm proud to be from Barnsley

 

You are: a retard (which is true by the way) and I'm predicting (based on your shitty shitty opinions) that you are also bald.

 

"Intent on staring"?

Proud of what actually?

 

"Full of badly dressed people intent on shouting and swearing (which never usedto happen)."

Is it the shouting and swearing that never used to happen, or the bad fashion sense? Or both?

Perhaps the badly dressed souls are indeed having a foul mouthed, toxic 'fashion' debate with each other. Kappa v Burberry.

 

Well, just to clarify, I'm not part of any intimidating gang. I prefer to amble around town alone, though I admit to often shouting "WHAT'S F**KING WRONG WITH WEARING F**KING CROCS WITH CHINOS YOU B***ARD!!!"
Can't wait til it's finished though. Might buy a 'Frankie Says' t-shirt to complete my modern Barnsley attire.

 

The town and the amazing people.

 

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

 

Please ensure you steer clear of the train station then, don't want our friends from London, Leeds, Sheffield and other major cities put off by your moronic attire.

 

When I was working in connection with my job I travelled the length and breadth visiting many Towns and Cities
in the U.K. Once the development in Town is complete I'm convinced Barnsley will once again revert to being the compact shopping area that it's been all the years me and my wife have been using it since we moved into the area.

Park in Countyway happy in the knowledge your motors not going to be on bricks when you get back.
Quick coffee and a snack in the Arcade on the way into Town or a bag of fish and chips from the chip 'oil up near the Alhambra and then a visit to the probably one of the best markets in the U.K. ( Bury market just shades it for me.)

Good selection, reasonable prices for the quality offered and good humoured helpful vendors and in my experience members of the Barnsley public. Be proud of the Town. It's a lot better than a lot I've visited and some of the areas surrounding the Town itself are fantastic. Members of my family come to stay from other parts of the country and are always surprised at some of the
places in and around Town that we take them to. They also comment on how cheap houses and food is " up North".

 

Did you hear about lad who it was alleged made a girl at work pregnant and she took him to court for maintenance.?
He denied ever having sex with her but did admit that he spent most of his day staring at her across the office.
The judge demanded he be sent for DNA tests. They all came back negative but they found out that he was **** eyed.!

 

As your very first words are to point at Labour I feel it is only right to invoke the ghost of Thatcher and blame the sorry state of our industrial heartlands on unfettered capitalism. So there.

So am I, love it here.

You daft ****. Lots wrong with Tarn, but how folk dress isn't one of them. No better/worse than any other northern town. To compare dress sense in Barnsley to three major cities, with large populations of visiting young people, students etc, is ******* irrelevant. Check out the clobber in Wakey, Dewsbury, Rotherham....then come back and discuss it, you mental pillock.

 

I live in Fitzwilliam, so when asked where I live, my reply is often greeted with "its rough theer int it?"

It's rough everywhere if you rattle the wrong cages. As you say, good and bad everywhere.

I wouldn't say I'm proud to live here, but I'm certainly not ashamed.
