Barre Chords. HELP! :(

I realised that I probably only know a dozen chords around the top end so I should probably get around to sorting out Barre Chords. Read most of the stuff online and they all said the same thing.

How long did it take you chaps to get ok at them?

and

Where do you place your barring finger, on top of the fret or close to it?

Hah, no I like that answer, its kind of the ones I usually give. Cheers.

But my fingers are puny and my guitar is an acoustic.

perfect bar chord songs, only 4 or 5 chords in the songs and good for gaining strength

Will do, was trying to learn Married With Children by Oasis.

Bumppity....

Really really helpful, managed to nail the chords in that Oasis track. Just need to be able to switch to them fast enough now.
