The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Wombwell.

The Worst Things
  • I have qualifications and work in management AND I'm female and don't look 30 yrs older than I am..........and I've just moved to Wombwell.............what have I done???
  • The worst thing are the blokes like you that attended Wombwell High Secondary School between 2000-2005
  • WOMBWELL TRUTHTELLER 2010: All the people in Wombwell and those I attended Wombwell High Secondary School with between the years 2000-2005 should read the topics on the main entry menu for Barnsley along with the topics on the knowhere board for Barnsley. These topics were written by different people regarding a variety of places in the Barnsley area. But they are all relevant to the life of 99% of the people that live in the village of Wombwell and those I attended Wombwell High with between 2000-2005. The best topics are “Low Qualified People Dominated Barnsley” + “Beast of Barnsley” + “Barnsley Blokes” + “NASA Employment Positions” + “Favourite Buzz Phrases”. 99% of the people from Wombwell will fall into these categories. I base my argument on the fact that 90% of the people within Wombwell do not have a University Degree and are just employed in a typical Barnsley area NASA employment position which they make sound great. 99% of the people are employed in employment positions that never required a degree on entry but still launch rockets to the moon. Plus 99% of the people in the village never earn a penny for the way they look which is no great surprise when you see the attractiveness level of the locals.
  • WOMBWELL BLOKES 2010: Wombwell blokes do not aspire to anything great. 99% of the blokes within Wombwell and certainly those I attended Wombwell High Secondary School with between 2000-2005 never obtain a University degree and are employed in a typical Barnsley area NASA employment position that never required a University Degree on entry. Wombwell blokes do not attract or settle down with successful career women that are earning £30’000pa or above, or women that are earning thousands for the way they look. 90% of Wombwell blokes settle down with females without University Degrees. 99% of Wombwell blokes settle down with women that do not earn a penny for the way they look and are employed in typical Barnsley area NASA employment positions like care homes, warehouses and call centres. Following in the footsteps of 99% of Wombwell blokes will not get you a great woman or a University Degree. Please read “Barnsley Blokes” + “NASA employment positions” on the main entry menu for Barnsley. I bet if you are honest these topics will relate to your own life. For most blokes within Wombwell the successful career women earning £30’000pa or above, and the females earning thousands for their looks were never available. Blokes settled down with women in crap degrading employment positions like care homes and call centres because it is the best they can do. Wombwell Blokes are not rejecting models or successful career women, they were never an option.
  • WOMBWELL BLOKES 2010: 99% of the blokes within Wombwell and those that originated from Wombwell High Secondary School between 2000-2005 are of low intelligence level an argument supported by the low number of blokes that have obtained a University Degree and are only educated to easier to gain each year A-levels and NVQ levels. Many think they are experts about everything but the funny thing is that they never can bring a University Degree to the table to provide as supportive evidence. Most local blokes can only bring NVQs and fellow none degree educated blokes to the table. Many think they are legal experts, but the truth is none of them have a law degree and only gain their knowledge from other people without University Degrees. In summary if you like mixing with manual workers, blokes without University Degrees and the calibre of females and friends they attract then Wombwell is the place for you. Please read “Low Qualified People Dominated Barnsley” on the main menu entry for Barnsley.
  • WOMBWELL WOMEN 2010: Wombwell is riddled with females that do not have University degrees and are employed in typical Barnsley area NASA employment position that never required a degree on entry but still send rockets to the moon. 99% of the women in the village of Wombwell do not become successful career women that earn £30’000pa or above. 99% of the women in Wombwell do not earn a penny for the way they look. In all honesty the women of Wombwell are not great catches. The women in Wombwell are the calibre that only attract and settle down with manual workers and blokes without University Degrees. None of the females I attended Wombwell High Secondary School with between 2000-2005 aspired to anything great or attracted anybody that aspired to anything great. Please read “Beast of Barnsley” + “Low Qualified People Dominated Barnsley” + “NASA Employment Positions” on the main entry menu for Barnsley. Females from Wombwell do not live great lives. Many local rocket scientists without University Degrees.
  • WOMBWELL SUMMARY 2010: Basically Wombwell is a place dominated by manual workers and people without University degrees and is just another manual worker dominated working class dump within the manual worker working class Barnsley area dump. Most of the blokes I attended Wombwell High with between 2000-2005 became none degree qualified, none University educated manual workers or call centre staff. The people that defend this village are not living great lives, they are just living everyday ground-hog round the roundabout none stimulating life which they make sound great, but in all honesty never fulfilled all their childhood dreams. If you never visit Wombwell, you are not missing anything great. Please read “Low Qualified People Dominated Barnsley” + “NASA Employment Positions” on the main entry for Barnsley. Wombwell is the typical place where people try and impress others with five bedroom houses and 4x4 cars, but let’s be honest the debt/credit financed still has to be paid, the size of the debt is not really that impressive. Many local rocket scientists without University Degrees.
  • WOMBWELL NIGHTLIFE SUMMARY 2010: Basically the local pubs around Wombwell are filled each weekend by manual workers, blokes without University Degrees and the calibre of females and friends this level of bloke attracts. All the local factories have shift outings around Wombwell regularly. Nothing great mixing with the quality of people that fill the production floor of the local factories or people with the manual worker intelligence. Basically all the local pubs are hellish loud common none University degree calibre dominated people domains. Where the loudest person is the main person. Also the people of Wombwell do not take part on Milan catwalks. Please read “Barnsley Blokes” + “Beast of Barnsley” + “Low Qualified People Dominated Barnsley” + “NASA Employment Positions” on the main entry menu for Barnsley. Many local rocket scientists without University Degrees.
  • WOMBWELL FEMALES 2010: Wombwell and particularly the group of females I attended Wombwell High Secondary School with between 2000-20005 is dominated by females that resemble an insult to the female race. All the females in Wombwell follow in the footsteps of 99% of the females in the Barnsley area and go to seed very earlier in life and very quickly. Wombwell contains a large number of out of shape women that are an insult to the word female. It is just being honest when stating you never see a bloke with an attractive woman in this village. Again Wombwell is filled by the quality of females that manual workers and blokes without University Degrees settle down with. All the women seen to talk loud, but one fact is that loud women in Wombwell always seem to be the women without University Degrees and without a University education and in a relationship with a manual worker or another bloke without a University Degree. Please read “Beast of Barnsley” on the main entry menu for Barnsley.
  • WOMBWELL TRUTHTELLER 2010: Wombwell is a typical Barnsley village where people cannot relate to University Degrees because they do not have one. People make crap degrading jobs sound great because they aspire to nothing above these. In a fair argument if their jobs where that mind blowing they would request a University Degree on entry. People make A-levels and NVQs sound great and also sound like a great achievement because this is the only level they reach. Wombwell is full of typical Barnsley area NASA so called brainy people without University Degrees to support their claim. Please read “Low Qualified People Dominated Barnsley” + “NASA Employment Positions” on the main entry menu for Barnsley. Many local rocket scientists without University Degrees.
  • WOMBWELL TRUTHTELLER 2010: It is very hard to find somebody with a University Degree in Wombwell so that you can have a University graduate level conversation. All the time you are surrounded by people that never got presented with a University degree. More none University degree stimulating people and the stimulating conversation people of this intelligence level have. I am just being honest when stating it is not stimulating mixing with people without University Degrees. All the time you are surrounded by manual workers and blokes without degrees and listening to how brainy these people are even though they do not have a University Degree. Please read “Low Qualified People Dominated Barnsley” + “NASA Employment Positions” on the main entry menu for Barnsley. 100% perfect for 99% of Wombwell people.
  • WOMBWELL TRUTHTELLER 2010: A large percentage of the local females talk with a fake and false posh voice, pretending they are posh. This makes me laugh! Because 99% of these fake and posh women do not have a University education behind them, 99% of these fake and posh talking women do not have a University Degree. 99% of these women are employed in a typical Barnsley area NASA employment position that never required a University Degree on entry. These fake posh women are not successful career women earning £30’000pa or a above or earning thousands for the way they look. They are only the calibre of women that attract and settle down with manual workers and other blokes without University Degrees. Basically these fake posh women aspire to nothing great. This is why it is all pretence. Plus loads of fake posh talking women are receiving tax payers money in a variety of forms. Please read “Beast of Barnsley” on the main entry menu for Barnsley.
  • I would say are the losers who have submitted so of the tripe on the site.
  • Pity many of the people on this site can't spell, however, I do have to agree with most of their comments. But I presume they are talking mainly about the youth of Wombwell. There are plenty of cultured people, ex head teachers, teachers and people like myself who have a degree and a very good job in IT. However, I admit that, although born in the North many years ago, I have only just moved back here, but to a nice house on the outskirts of the main town. Also I did transfer my job and work from home - I agree that you cannot get a good job or salary in this area - you need to travel to Sheffield or Leeds. The answer is simple - don't feed the locals after midnight or horrible gremlins appear!! In fact, don't go into Wombwell full stop unless you need the doctor (the doctors and the staff are fantastic here). Keep your friends close and your enemies closer......
  • The Smack Rat's + Jippos
  • The lamentable lack of interest of the local council and some people are small minded.
  • The mini chavs approach with extreme caution
  • too many to list. ### EVERYTHING ###
  • I recently came back to Wombwell for a weekend to see my parents, and brought my fiance. When we went out for a drink at night I was embarassed by the people. Maybe on that night there was a coachload of retards on an outing, or people on a day trip on a Variety Sunshine coach or something, but bloody hell, if that's not the case and these people were the actual residents of Wombwell, the place should go down in the record books as the town with the most half-witted, brain-dead, good-for-nothing, inbred scum on the planet. When I left Wombwell in 1994 for the South I was determined to stay proud of my Northern roots, but looking at Wombwell now, I'm just embarassed. I'm ashamed of it - the town is a joke and the people are scum.
  • The area has been heavily neglected after the mines closed for many years. Politically this region has been turned into a disaster zone by the powers in Westminster. It was more a culling of the mining industry without any plans or efforts to regenerate the area post mining. About 10 years ago efforts have been made to redress the situation and some investments into the regions infrastructure have been made. I think that the region is still suffering of the aftermass of mid-80ies to mid-90ies depression and it can be seen in people's mentality and their way of thinking. Nevertheless, things have changed since about the mid90ies a sense of pride and prosperity has returned to most.
  • all the wankers who slag wombwell off.cos there slagging thier own mams n dads
  • the whole place looks like its been devestated by a nuclear war and everywhere you go there are zombies,and people that look like bobby crush
  • The world's worst town centre. The incomprehensible accent. How DIRTY everyone is. Ugh.
  • Bank holiday violence and proximity to Darfield
  • Going out around Wombwell for a night out drinking is like being on a manual workers outting, all the local factory workers fill the pubs which gives this village a manual workers atmosphere. For example half of Perfecta Beds manual work force fill the pubs yippee, stimulating people which to spend stimulating time with.
  • I used to live there, all my life 'til I was 24, mid 1990's. I think the worst thing is the thick, thick people. People there are so thick they can't even tell that their town is a dump, their lives are fruitless and entirely devoid of prospects and the way they speak and act makes them a laughing stock for the rest of the country. They're so thick they don't even know they're thick, they just plod along in their dreary existance. Still, if a pig is happy living in sh*t, then let it live there. Orb.
  • young piss heads
  • Own Modelling Business In 2002 I opened a modelling business in this town, I have branches in Australia, London, USA and I was trying to find new locations and new faces. I have supplied over 5000 models to clients over the past six years. And currently have over 2000 on my UK books. Well I have scouted this area for the past twelve months, visiting companies, the local pubs at weekends, walking the streets, and I have to say I have never seen such an ugly looking bunch of people in one place, the men are like thugs, and the women arent proper women. In fact in this time I only saw one handsome looking man and he is already on the books of a modelling agency, and he does not look like a local, more of latin European, and I cannot match his wages. So after 12 months I have closed this business down at a business loss of 42000 for administration wages, and rent.
  • House Prices Why do people buy property in this town for 90000 and above is beyond me, this town is a shit hole not Malibu beach or Australia. This place is a dump, one estate looks the same as the next, yet they keep building houses. Why is there a demand to live in such a town like this, but then again most people that come to live here will be working class scum. But then again people dont pay 90000 in cash, they have to get loans, so they havent bought the property, they are in the process of buying it.
  • When the local so a thicko manual position that is demeaning, they continue to do it year after year, they show no signs of ambition by attending night school atUniversity etc, they just plod along doing the same shit week after week, but they think it is great just to have a job. The only way they progress in employment is by creeping around the boss, at work, or for a drink after, or through family connections.
  • I worked at a local bedding manufacturing firn for two years, and the type of people that I had to mix with each day for eight hours was horrible. 95% of the workforce had no higher level qualifications, it was filled of thicko manual workers, even the managers had come up from the factory force, without any education behind them, no wonder these departments never worked efficiently. Yet again people were in positions through who they knew not through degree level qualifications. Most where thicko people, with no visions for the future, doing a shit job, how on earth people can do jobs like that I never know. Well once I got my degree through night school studies, I moved on to a better paid psoition, with a company where qualified people are in the correct positions.
  • The people are very racist I am from China and my life is made hell do to the fucking locals who are thicko uncultured wankers.
  • The women talk so loud, they are common and most are butch. The only nice ones are still at school.
  • There are no employment opportunites for people with high level qualifications in this town (degree or above), only thick low paid jobs, mostly manual position that only people without no qualifications would want. Also the local companies only employ thicko staff with no qualifications, that are allowed one day to become managers with no qualifications. In general Wombwell is a joke for employment prospects for qualified people.
  • The locals, they are so ugly, you dont get any female models or male models from the locals around this place. Most of the local ares drunks and look like drunks, nobody takes pride in their looks, ts cool to be ugly.
  • I am from Italy I am 25 years old and female, my job is to model for hugo Boss. I have lived in this town for four years, and I have never seen an attractive man, then men around this town are horrible, thick thugs, the women are also bitchy towards me, but I dont mind this as I earn 100,000 per year, while most of the locals get excited about 6.oo per hour. Once my modeling contract is up in 5 months I shall return to Italy.
  • The people hate outsiders, or anybody who is the slighest bit different, they love to spread untrue rummours about people, take the piss, and generally run and pull people down. But who are they to judge anybody - nobody. Are they qualified lawyers are they fuck And what do these people achieve - nothing. The only thing anybody living in this town as to look forward to is an holiday a year, and waking up at the side of somebody ugly. Their life is pointless
  • The women around this town are horrible, unfriendly, common, ugly they look like mrs piggy. The men are like Butch Dingles, common as muck. This place is a very clicky place, if you are not one of the locals, your face wont fit in. It is full of nosey people who don;t mind their own business. Its like living in the big brother house.
  • Smallminded Wombwellers.
  • Toilets on the High Street.
  • You state that people in Wombwell are small minded etc. I beg to differ. Perhaps they were in the past but now we do actually go further than Barnsley for our holidays. I have travelled half the world and I know a lot more from Wombwell who have done the same. Just thought I would try and put it right that we are not cloth caps and clogs Thank you
  • House values never getting higher
  • People there are so small minded - they seem to be proud of the fact that they can trace back 6 generations of people who've never been further than Barnsley in their lives.
