Joseph Bramah patented the flushing toilet.
The first reference to Barnsley occurs in 1086 in the Domesday Book, in which it is called Berneslai and has a population of around 200. The origin of the name Barnsley is subject to debate, but Barnsley Council claims that its origins lie in the Saxon word "Berne", for barn or storehouse, and "Lay", for field.
Arthur Scargill was from Barnsley.
The first bottle bank for glass recycling collection in the United Kingdom was opened in Barnsley.
Ken Loach's 1969 film Kes was set and filmed in several villages in Barnsley.
I'll be there, passing a certain Mr. Scargills bungalow on the way
Blimey, that sounds like it'll make your eyes water, and leave you needing surgery.![]()

We will be terrible. Grant will bemoan a terrible ref decision even though we are 2-0 down. Say the lads tried hard.
The team I would play.

agree, McCann will play his usual 4-3-3, we will lose & he'll scratch his thick head & wonder why
He is a dead man walking, we all know the first thing the new owners will do is sack him & his equally useless assistant
Put them both on gardening leave, appoint Tony Pennock as caretaker manager with Andy Dawson as his assistant
Let them try a different formation, different training methods, FFS let them try something different ASAP!!!!!!
Under McCann I can't see City winning another game . He has to be put out of his managerial misery now before City are cut so far adrift at the bottom & can't reach the safety of 21st place
RH just reporting Jones is out till after christmas.

I'm sure Thomas Crapper invented the first carsie, but I sit, corrected.
Shame it wasn't Going.Crapper invented the U-bend and ballcock, but wasn't the first to patent a flushing toilet.
Though neither was the bloke from Barnsley.
It was actually some Scottish bloke called Alexander Cumming.
