Best and Worst in Dunton Bassett, Leicestershire*

Dunton Bassett, Leicestershire Triumphs and Tragedies

Favourite Building

• The manor - because of it's architecture - nothing else!
• dunton bassett arms
• The burlesque house
• Richy Moons 'Rorn Emporium'

Demolish It Now Building

• If you don't live in the "new house" backing onto the school, why suggest it be demolished - we're not harming you are we. And we like the kids at the school, and you can certainly put up with that when you have the wonderful views over the countryside we have.
• The old co-op opposite the P.O.
• those new houses next to the school, who on earth will pay £300,000 for the privilege of listening to little kids screaming every hour and half during term time.
• rearrange these words: Emporium Moon's Richy Rorn
• That one they can never be arsed to finish..you know the one..next to the school.
• The Cult house and Richy Moons 'Rorn Emporium'

The Best Things

• drinking
• Dunton Bassett NEVER floods. As the essence of the prefix "DUN" means 'hill', all the excess water runs down the gutters into Leire, Glen Parva and Broughton. I think that's funny
• nope, you've got me there.
• From the existing message it looks as if DB is even livelier and more fun than it was years ago - my DB dates are 1953 - 1971. I hope you realise just how good you're having it.
• 'Dunton' now has 3 benchs, to seat either 3 or four persons. Only if your not fat
• Dunton Bassett Football Club
• Richy Moons 'Rorn Emporium'

The Worst Things

• drinking
• Gareth Williams just wishes that he lived in DB.loser
• Conservative council and MP. Damn Tory rubbish.
• some of the morons that live in this village and the bigoted parish council members who object to the possibility of the village having a female vicar, WAKE UP YOU SAD PEOPLE THIS IS THE YEAR 2000, count yourselves lucky you dont have a gay vicar if you are that prejudice. the large number of conservative voters within the village, what youd actually like william hague to run this country, god help us......
• Richy Moons 'Rorn Emporium' - sick.

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.
