He used to work just a few feet away from where i'm sat now the most boring fact of the day award goes to me
He wasn't exactly stood at the front of the picket lines shouting 'scabs!' tho' was he? TBH I do think there is a stereotypical image of what Barnsley is like, and what Barnsley people are like, but I don't think there is anything in that stereotype that would stop any of us getting knighted. If anything, people don't expect a lot from Barnsley, so they tend to see people who come out of town as rags to riches types (which we all know is a load of B*ll*cks) - but it would help you to get knighted more than it would hinder you.
