    You must have had a bit of capital behind you already to get a £50k bank loan for a startup. Or did you charm them into agreeing to lend it to you?

    Corbyns aims seem to be quite clear. Design and create polices that are against the current capitalist structure and inordinate salaries while those at the bottom are getting poorer. to stop marking and evaluating a persons worth against their own wealth and property rather than evaluating them against performance and responsibility. It would seem his aims is to abolish this unfairness under any conditions.

    Bearing in mind the industry which the gala commemorates, is there not just a scintilla of an argument for an approach that recognises the virtues of compromise and unification?

    Brilliant turnout mate.
    It gets better every year, it's got to be seen to be believed ,atmosphere is second to none , I'd recommend anyone to try it for one occasion in their lives and I would almost guarantee they would be wanting to go back.
    Something for everyone young and old even if your not into the political speeches there's plenty going on as I said Brass bands were amazing almost fifty bands I think this year.

    30 degrees, too hot a nights with no a/c but we will survive, and I shall be back for the first home match.

    Trouble is unless you have the balls to leave Barnsley (or the North) and study (I even took a Masters Degree at 50) and look for other horizons, you will finish up as probably you have, waiting for a job to appear in your lap. I found it hard graft in London, living in a bed sitter, eating the bare minimum, but it was worth it.

    Sounds absolutely brilliant. Will have to give it a try. Is it held over the same weekend every year.?
    I personally don't think there's anything better than a good brass band.

    I always remember as a kid growing up in early 50's when my Dad took me to watch Donny Rovers
    at Belle Vue the pre- match and half time entertainment was always provided by one of the local prize
    winning Colliery Bands.

    I particularly remember enjoying the Markham Main Band ( Armthorpe) and the Rossington Colliery Band.
    Both played some really stirring tunes. They tried to attract the best musicians and quite often to provide them
    with a living in between playing with the band some were given jobs as a Clerk at the pit.

    Are there any other surviving Colliery Bands like Grimethorpe in the Barnsley area.?

    Your whole character summed up there ....living off benefits = sat waiting for a job to fall in their lap. Instant judgement of people you don't even know.

    As it happens I don't want a job, does that make me a scrounger ?

    Why do some people think you have to leave Barnsley to get on in life? It's utter ******. There's loads of people who were born in Barnsley, have grown up in Barnsley, have been educated in Barnsley, have worked in Barnsley and have been successful in Barnsley. Instead of just giving up on the town that brought you up, why not put something back and try to improve the place? I did and I've never regretted it.

    I left Barnsley for university and then moved back here so I'm unsure whether I'm a lovely person or not?
