      Just wanted to say your inaccurate representation of the beef pasty was cruel and unfair. It being done by either robbie (editing) or yourself, it was not right. You clearly ate the corner of the pasty where the pastry is crimped and you described it as "all pasty". What did you expect? I didn't expect this from you at all, its clearly anti Barnsley propaganda. We can all see through your agenda and its obvious.

    You guys should have tried going to the Retrodome. Its an old school retro arcade with a bar. They have pong, pool, playstations, air hockey, pinball and even a VR room. The staff are really nice lads and it's a great place to have a few beers and have a good laugh with friends or family.

    Glad they were pleasantly surprised at Barnsley town centre. It's a lovely little town particularly now they have done all that work in the town centre. It's a pleasant place to shop. There is an interesting museum in the town hall, and a tiny gem of an art gallery just up the road from it, in fact opposite the churchyard where they went. There has been a market in Barnsley since at least 1249. There are several good cafes and the town centre is very easy to reach from both the train and bus station which are close to the market hall.

    Barnsley looks remarkably charming to be fair. Wouldn't mind living there by the sounds of it! Live in a village currently, surrounded by beautiful scenery. But its difficult sometimes to get things to and from our property. I do miss the city life sometimes. Barnsley seems to have found a wonderful balance without sacrificing space, efficiency and it has shops not empty storefronts!? Most impressive.
    Not as impressive as the town hall though!
    Great grockling lads. I'm an old soul for eadly 30's, but this just feels wholesome and grounded. Needed that!

      It has. A lot of people have your idea. We've had a massive influx of people in the past 10 years due to cheap property, lots of development and good motorway links. Public transport could be better. Some of the villages are ace but in danger of becoming too big at the cost of greenspace
