Can you help?

I'm from Leamington... and therefore I'm a Leamintonian.

If you're from Sheffield, you're a Sheffielder.

If you're from Barnsley you're a... ?

(No daft responses please, I'm writing a piece at work and just need the answer! You can discuss what you think of Barnsley after!)

Call them what you like on here.
They will not be able to access this site (Or any other) until they get connected to the national grid.

No electric yet yer see.

People from Barnsley have always been called "Barnsley Buggers"
Which was originally "them buggers frum Barnsley"

I imagine it's something to do with barnsley men having large sideburns.

Cousins - a few years ago Barnsley had the highest proportion of birth defects due to inbreeding than any other area.

10 posts, and I'm amazed no-one has yet suggested chavs. This question was begging not to be taken seriously I'm afraid.
