My mum used to live in Barnsley. First night there, I was walking the dog and met some other guy who had been stabbed in the arm. Asked me if I was local (I wasn't) and said he was from Sheffield. Anyway, had a nice chat and I said he could come back and wait in the front garden so I could speak to mum and her partner. The guy was polite and they pointed him to the hospital. Asked of he wanted the police and he replied: "Nah, don't want to cause no bother. Thank you anyway!" then walked off calmly. Barnsley is somewhat adorably strange. Or at least it was - bee a while since I was there. Anywau, great game and walkthrough! Subbed.
listening to different people absolutely lose their minds over this same game is my new favorite pasttime lmaoooooo i know every gag and i'm still in tears
@@zh84 i actuqlly just heard from somewhere that if you wait 15 minutes in the reception room, the mayor will actually pop out and you end up bypassing the whole game, and i'm qiting with baited breath for someone to post a THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE SPEEDRUN video lmao
Oh my god, I am literally doing the same. Basically waiting for RUclips algorithm to give me another recommended video of a playthrough from someone I never heard before. Only one other game made me do this in the past
Someone probably mentioned it but 10 bob is 10 shillings, which is strange because shillings stopped being used in the 70’s? But there were 20 shillings a pound, and 12 pence per shilling and a whopping 240 pence per pound. So 10 bob is roughly 50 pence, which is an almost suspiciously cheap price.
The developers should add this video as an option to watch during gameplay, picture-in-picture style. This game already looks like it's hilarious, but your reactions make it a thousand times better!
@@PhoenixNat In the most times I realize there’s a joke in it, but I can’t really understand it because I don’t know the contexts. This play through is GOLD！😂😂😂❤
At the start, the... Secretary? Of the mayor was playing solitaire on her computer and tried to use real cards too, licking them to stick them to the screen. She wasn't even licking the right side of the card to make it stick haha.
19:53 "I'm in the bath." I'm a little surprised given the humor of this game that when you knocked on the next door that the guy didn't say he was spying on the woman in the bath next door.
"Bob", of course, meaning *shilling.* (Apparently, 10 shilling notes were a thing, but they were discontinued in 1969 and had ceased being legal tender the following year.)

33:15 The travel agent advertises a "Denby Dale Day Trip". Denby Dale is a Yorkshire village which is famous for its enormous pies. Bigger than Big Ron's, even.

I'm not really sure what exactly the mercury and bismuth is referring to, but they are both poisonous metallic compounds, similar to lead - it's probably just a satirical reference to metal compounds such as lead being in food products/water sources/paint etc, probably especially in old mining towns, which is where the term "lead-paint stare" comes from - that was my take on it anyway and just thought it was funny

Homes have a "Burgy Alert" on them, but the guy eating a burger called it his burgy. So, are the Alerts for people breaking in or to let everyone know when someone is making hamburgers? This game raises some interesting questions.

However the decimal coins were designed to look similar to the old shillings/etc, meaning some older people still think of a 50p as 10 bob.
Not when you consider everyone's on mercury, bismuth, and lead.

10 bob is half a pound. Equivalent to 50p pre decimalisation. With inflation it's about 6.65 in today's money.
"Bob", of course, meaning *shilling.* (Apparently, 10 shilling notes were a thing, but they were discontinued in 1969 and had ceased being legal tender the following year.)
Yeah that's what I was doing the inflation calculation from, 1970-ish. The 10 bob note you see on that guys shelf is pretty accurate to the real note.

This is a very clever device to make speedrunning the game pointless. You can finish it in about 25 minutes if you wait for the mayor to appear.
Proper game speedruns take 1 hour, the other one take less than 18 minutes.
