There's some excellent places to live on the outskirts of Barnsley

Nice houses, beautiful country side, little or no congestion, easy motorway access.

 

RE: There's some excellent places to live on the outskirts of Barnsley

I like living in a city. Would probably have to be Leeds - it's a fair commute though. And Leeds would probably have more jobs in my industry than Barnsley anyway.

 

I'm sure they have

But if I was going to spend £250 on a shirt and £300 on some trousers then I'd want to try the b.astards on. Actually, I only pay 10% of that on my clothes and I still prefer to try them on rather than shopping on line.

I have no idea where Pollyanna's clientele come from, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to hear they come form all over the place.

 

RE: I'm sure they have

Surely there are better shops in London and Edinburgh (and more of them). I agree that I wouldn't buy clothes online, but I wouldn't drive 200 miles to a shop either.

 

Are there any nice places in Barnsley?

Seriously! I'm moving back to the area and was contemplating living in Tarn; or would it be easier to ask where not to live?

I used to walk my daughter to her primary school through fields. You didn't know what century you were in.</p>

 

There are more shops but none better.

Depending on your definition of good obviously.</p>

They sold a handbag recently for &pound;15,000. No pillock.</p>

Hoylandswaines alright, but not if you have kids.

Not exactly in Tarn though is it!

 

Apart from the pillock who paid that for a handbag

At that price I'd want a lass with it to put it on her arm.

 

£15,000 Indeed...

Most I've paid for a handbag is about &pound;400, but it did look gorgeous with my leopard pattern dress.

 

There's a similar shop here.......

...saw a guy in there not long back, well known married local criminal with his young trophy bird (although not his wife). She spots a hadbag, Prada I think, that she quite fancies. "How much?" enquires the gangster. "34,000" comes the assistant's reply. 34,000 rubels is about 650 quid, not a small price to pay for a handbag, even if it did used to be a crocodile. Cue cow-eyed look from trophy bird. Shifty Sergey picks up the bag and takes it to the counter, to a wide, diamond-toothed smile from trophy bird. The assistant rings the purchase through the till, and it comes up at a staggering 119 million rubels. Cue shocked look from steroid-filled, fake tanned friend. "Ahhh, it's 34,000 euros" says the assistant helpfully. Of course, not wanting to look a pillock in front of the lady, he buys it anyway.

 

RE: There are more shops but none better.

Just the one?

Having googled it I can see it's well respected. It's in the top 50 in the UK.

 

is the schooling that bad ? nt

 

That's 15 times more than I've ever paid for a car!

Although, to be fair, it wouldn't be very practical to use the cars I've bought for carrying my tissues and mobile phone when I go to the pub.

 

Good place for internet shopping.

 

It went to Switzerland but it got stopped at the airport.....

....they were checking it wasn't the hide of an endangered species.</p>

Ah, I see, paid for with Nazi gold.
