Thanks Lozzie - had a chat with hubby last night and it is probably easier for us to leave at Sheffield as we are near motorway at both ends and it only take 20 to 25 mins to go and pick it up and if we are on our way south we just do it on the way.  The Bessecar site would probably take almost as long to arrive at.  We pay £280 and also get reduced insurance. 

Hope Adams alright Grumbleflick - strangly enough a colleagues daughther is suffering the same and has been sent home from A & E twice with pain killers.  Doctor now seems to be doing somthing to try and get to bottom of problem. 

I'm from Good old Barnsley Too - our caravan is in storage at West Melton. It's a pretty secure site and had no problems with flooding when Rotherham had all that rain a couple of months ago - unlike a friend's whose brand new caravan was in storage at Mexborough and was totally ruined. 

If possible, I would advise anyone looking for storage in Barnsley to call in at the storage compounds rather than ringing up.  We telephoned first and were told they were full and had a waiting list, then hubby called in when passing a few days later and hey presto! they had a vacancy.   

Hi grumbleflick - like your gallery too -  I'm a bit nosey an'all!

I'm quite enjoying this thread - all these lovely peeps from Barnsley.  Never knew there were so many folk from Barnsley on this site, it's like one big happy family.

Up the Reds !

Hi lozzie, don't worry about feeling a traitor to The Barnsley - my daughter supports Barcelona too - she has 2 shirts - got her first about 2 years ago and a new one in June this year when we visited friends in Spain - Barcelona and Real Madrid were playing for the championship (but not against each other) & Real Madrid won - the atmostphere on the streets was electric.

We're in Dodworth - not too far from you in Birdwell.  Sunburnden (a friend of ours) who had replied to this thread earlier lived in Birdwell until the beginning of this year - no doubt she'll be posting a reply to this thread soon.

UP THE REDS

We've been in that pub a few times lozzie, not 17 years ago though - we lived near the hospital at that time. We lived at the top of Dodworth Bottom when we first got married in 1981, we then moved near the hospital at Pogmoor in 1985 and then moved back to Dodworth, near Brooklands, in 2000 - great place to live!  Think our old neighbours Lewis & Linda once ran that pub, many moons ago!
