Interesting facts about Barnsley

Women from Barnsley are known as Lassies - Barnsley Lass. Also a massive pork chop is known as a Barnsley chop at least where I'm from (which is the best side of the Pennines! (imo)).

 

This has reminded me of another "anomaly" I had to get used to when I moved to Yorkshire, and it might just be a thing around Bradford area, but that is when someone is described as "hard on"!

It was proper James Finlayson double take time I can tell you!
