It's where I live.
Some other interesting facts about Doncaster:
There was a big scandal about the Labour council allowing contractors to build lots of dull housing estates on green belt land. They also pinched lots of money. In the recent mayoral election, the wise townsfolk of Doncaster decided to vote in a Labour mayor.
Doncaster has the highest density of pubs in England.
There are 3 kinds of shops in Doncaster:
1) Mobile phone shops
2) Clothes shops
3) Here today gone tomorrow bookstores and gift shops
We used to have a more interesting variety of stores, but they all closed down to become one of the above 3.
In its favour, Donny does have a fairly good market.
Doncaster has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the UK.
Take any typical town and look at the type of people who hang around the social security building. Almost the whole of Doncaster looks like that.
Doncaster has some beautiful countryside around it although it can be difficult to find. Follow the canal along the trans-Pennine trail towards Cusworth hall... gorgeous.
BTW Onion, which village are you in? I used to live in Cantley but now live in town center.
