You can tell us more about Penistone.

The Worst Things

• stay away from the penistone town elite there very violant get on the wrong side of them and it wont be pleasant
• its so scabby!!
• all the little scallies who hang around the bus station, train station, outside the spar, and underneath the ramps at the skatepark who have nother better to do than act smart shout abuse and pester the 18+ to go buy them alcohol.
• all the little scally kids, Nightlife is slim to non. there is only a bus into sheffield every 2 hours and the bus takes about 40mins to travel exactly 13miles also charging now £2 (not so good for the likes of us student type)the close relation with Barnsley its a horrific place so why be associated with it? When Penistone got transferd from Sheffield City Council to Barnsley Council. alot of the inbreds from barnsley have moved into the town. The fact that dispite living here for the past 18 years I still cant understand the locals. Half the Kids are illiterate rude and just generally vile. only 50% get a decent amount of GCSE's. EVERYTHING IS UP HILL. You gotta go up hill to go to 6thform you gotta go up hill to get back home again. its just ALL UP HILL. to go to the pub/work you gotta go up and down and up hills HILLS HILLS AND MORE HILLS!!! oh and it RAINS it hardly snows now but IT RAINS and RAINS and RAINS I mean the skate park will of rotted away time june!!! ITS STUPIDLY WINDY! the skate park is built in a really open area so in the winter you get blown of your bike/board (yes the wind is that strong) THe summers are shorter than every1 were else in the country. When you have been in sheffield all day you will come back home and its about 10C colder so if you imagine a nice warm sunny day in sheffield around 20C (nice t-shirt weather) you get back to penistone and your feezing your ass off.
• Dog muck all over. Local kids have a lot of trouble reading, writing and spelling properly.
• Bored (and illiterate) kids smash up the railway station waiting room windows and leave rubbish all over. Yet more dogmuck on the pavements.
• Its so busy you cant walk through without 1 near death experience, the traffic on the high street is horrendous.

• The local youth club since the new leaders took over its crap. BRING BACK WENDY!!!!!!
• Grammar School...
• the goddamn public transport, tell me why does it take 45mins to get to sheffield, a mere 15miles away on the train???
• wether near christmas as you can soon grt cut off by snow
• Dog poo on the pavements, every ten yards or so, more on sundays.
• The town being known as 'penis town' by everyone bar the locals.
• No real night life (such as clubs). Cinema tends to get films about 3 months after the rest of the country. People make fun of the name. There are many-a vandalised sign about.

• A local councillor, shall we call her Mrs. Bouquet (not her real name), has had a horse-trough turned into a wishing well, so they can have an annual well-dressing ceremony. Tacky! Everybody knows everybody.
