walkertelecoms Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) My daughter was born and brought up in Sheffield 5, but when she married she bought a house in Hoyland Common, because they were much cheaper than in Sheffield. She would never consider moving back, even if you paid her. She loves it there, her children go to Hoyland Primary School and they love it. It is a brilliant school and has many extra curricular activities which they join in. My daughter says she lives in a community and she is right, she knows her neighbours, one of who is housebound so she pops round every day to see if she needs shopping and 3 days a week she cooks an extra evening meal and takes it round to her. If they go away the neighbours watch the house and keep an eye on pets and things and she returns the favour. I on the other hand live in Sheffield and have lived in this house for 12 years and do not know my neighbours names. I can identify them by their screams and foul language at 2am most mornings, and next door she has 2 children I have only ever heard them referred to by bad language I don't know their proper names. So yes go to Barnsley I certainly would if I had the chance. You see, youre saying your daughter lived in Hoyland which was nice, then you lived in sheffield which isnt/wasnt. You're specific with the positive experiences and generalized with the negative. I've lived in Sheffield for 20 years and not only do I know all my neighbours names, we all know each others birthdays and sometime car share shopping etc. Edited January 31, 2012 by walkertelecoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC1 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Barnsley is a cultural and sporting mecca, and not just blokes in flat caps sporting taches either... The rivera of the north? no that would be Donny but Barnsley comes a close second. Coming from Barnsley means you're pretty much a great person aswell. Recommended!

Only a handful of MPs or ex-MPs went to prison and none were from Sheffield. Most of them were on the fiddle admittedly but only a few went to prison. Co-incidentally Illsley was originally from very near to where the OP is thinking of moving to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
