What's The Best Village In Doncaster?
« on December 21, 2020, 11:04:07 pm by Bentley Bullet »
Or should that be What's The Second Best, after Bentley?

Does, for instance, Thorne, where the only carbon footprint contribution is the church has an unleaded roof, rock your boat?

Or maybe Scawsby, where they think TV's Antiques Roadshow is Tomorrows World?

Or maybe Askern, where they keep their money safe under the mattress because burglars never check the garden?

Or maybe a beautiful, unspoilt, chocolate box village, like Bentley?

Bentley folk really are like a box of chocolates.
You spot one that looks really hard but they’re actually as soft as shit.

Is Bentley a village?

More a suburb or small semi-aquatic town, periodically disappearing beneath the waters of the Don. Doncasters very own Atlantis.

....Or a place named after what you have to hold your trousers up.

Like Belton.

How about Austerfield that once sent out religious zealots full of puritanical zeal with the ambition to subdue the American continent? Doncasters very own Mecca.

Adwick le Street, where in the local church can be seen the Stars and Stripes shield of the Washington family, that inspired the American national flag and the family that once provided the American president?

It seems Doncasterians have Some inate desire to try and run America.

Austerfield could have a claim to fame for the best village, known around the world?

Wrong side of the bridge for starters.

Well, for diplomacy I think I'll have to cheat a bit and declare that the arsehole of the town in postcode terms is in Scunthorpe.

Bentley is on the side of the bridge that is North of the river. When industry from South uncaringly polluted the water, the Northside had barriers to stop locals falling into the scummy water.

The Southside had springboards.

Scunny is full of toothless, tramp shagging inbreds. Thank God for the River Trent.

I'm astonished Edlington hasn't been mentioned.

1. Launderette still accepts green shield stamps

2. Spare parts are aplenty regarding vauxhall viva/ allegro's.

3. Heroin is way cheaper.

4. pound shop is cheaper.

5. Outsiders can walk into the dentist and treated without waiting in a queue.

I rest my case, please visit and prove me wrong.

Back in the day mining villages folk had cut-down names for their local pits. For instance, Brodsworth pit was known as Broddy pit, Rossington pit was known as Rosso pit. Edlington pit was called Edlo pit etc.

Arm pit, however, was considered too near the knuckle for Armthorpe folk.

Oi! Mrs Belton’s from Scunny and she’s still got one or two teeth left!

Your other points are fair enough.

Ha ha. Sorry mate. She must be ok if she's seen the light and come over the water. Seriously though how grim is Scunny. If you walk through Donny and find it depressing just take a trip to Scunny to prove that things could be worse.
