• Game Dixon's - both on Market Street
• gamestarion cos game is over-priced
• Another roll playing game played by the locals is groundhog day, were the large majority of locals do the same thing day after day, they talk about the same things day after day, in fact most life's around here are like playing the same old crack record, very few locals are stimulating to be around, most people are very dull, always will be, the only interest that comes into their life's is when they leave this twon for a few weeks on holiday.
• A game played by the local women is fog horn, the women who talks the loudest is the main women, the centre of attention, in truth the common bitch of Barnsley.
• Another role playing game played by the local working class people is "Ive got better than you" people around here compete with everything, wages, cars, houses, holidays, what they children have done, what members of their families have done, the saying is most people in Barnsley are like two shits, if you have had one shit the majority of Barnsley people have had two shits. Middle class people don't compete as much as working class Barnsley people.
• The biggest game in this town is called THE QUEST FOR THE HOL GRAIL this is to find an attractive Barnsley women, men have been looking for thousands of years but yet nobody as found the grail. It is probably just a myth that does not exist.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
