Thanks for that. Regardless of what opinions anyone has of Barnsley, the townsfolk have a reputation for being the happiest people in the UK. Hence, its residents have the least incidence of moving away from the town to live elsewhere. So whatever people want to label it, good or bad, the majority of people who slag it off don't enjoy living where they do as much as the people of Barnsley do. How ironic.
I know I moved away but still love the place - really proud to have been born and brought up there! It's like any other place - it has it's good and bad points.
