Typical - I look at a pub and 2 days later it's

wick wi gyppos

Are these Romany folk a permanent fixture in that neck of the woods then?

 

RE: Typical - I look at a pub and 2 days later it's

Yes.</p>

They used to like to brawl with the locals down Low Valley and Wombwell.</p>

Think there's a 'travellers' camp in Low Valley now.</p>

 

Hmmmm, ta very much

Nutkins also tipped me off - might not be keen on Longbow any more.

 

RE: Hmmmm, ta very much

To be fair I don't know if they go up that far, mate of mine lives in those relatively new houses round corner from Longbow - seems fairly quiet where he lives. But last thing you want is your investment disappearing cos they've made it their 'local'.....

 

No wonder there's free parking!

 

Aye, they can be a handful

can a wreck a pub's trade quite easily.

I met a bloke called Bob Taylor on holiday last year, some senior murder detective. He had retired and wrote a book, been on telly etc, but got bored and went back to work for Wakefield Police, specifically to hound gypsies. Well that wasn't the exact job description, but it was what attracted him to the post.

Every town should have a Bob Taylor, keep em in check.

He had some great stories in the bar of an evening. Top bloke.

 

Just has a walk up to Locke Park

 

RE: Just has a walk up to Locke Park

Looks like its got down a bit then? It was up to the wire trellises over the path!

 

Darton High Street Looks like Amazon River

On Sky News swirling around with people trapped upstairs (Our Computer Shop poster will be flooded out)

 

Just had walk down Darton

 

My Parents are currently trapped in The Alhambra

They have been there for two hours. Apparently the road outside is gridlocked.

 

RE: My Parents are currently trapped in The Alhambra

Was it your mum who contacted Dearne FM?

 

At least the parking's free. nt

 

I wouldn't have thought so

Why, what was said?

 

i've just had to wade through knee high water in middle of darton in order to get home

 

Dearne crossings(south)

Low valley still closed due to flooding at Bradbury balk road.</p>

Dearne road from Wath to Bolton closed due to flooding.</p>

Mexboro road still ok towards Bolton</p>

Adwick rd is passable, but water accross the road.</p>

Dearne parkway is ok, but busy.</p>

Bottom of the White bear hill in Wath isn't flooded,just been past and no kids playing in dingysor swimming in it, so it can't be that bad..</p>

</p>

 

RE: It's just been on Sky News

Drove home from work in blazing sunshine (in London), and saw live report on Sky News from Barnsley. Looks pretty bad up there -we've hardly had a drop of rain down here.

 

think the Dearne Valley gyppos got flooded out

as they are now occupying the whole Longbow carpark S)
