Re: What part of the UK are you from.
Yes it is great. It's just that whenever i speak to people about where i am from, they all frown, moan and groan about it. So i actually hate telling folk i like it....so they don't think i'm some sort of weirdo you know what i mean?
I was there 2 weeks ago actually. Went back for a holiday. Those shops in Leeds are something else. And the pubs

Bradford, Yorks
Interesting post, ozzie. We ten pound poms came mostly from the industrial north, I think, many fleeing the post-war housing shortage and the Coronation St. type houses. For many, emigrating was the only chance they had of owning their own home, and the 3-bed brick and tile on a quarter acre block seemed like paradise compared with that.

Re: What part of the UK are you from.
Was in Leeds 2 days before we took the one way flight (went to pick up Aussie dollars) and as always ended up in Whitelocks
Several pints of Old Peculiar later and still can't remember travelling home to Wakefield
Needless to say was nursing a mega headache the remaining 2 days in the UK

Re: What part of the UK are you from.
Apologies I only went with 8 poll choices on purpose. So your lumped in with the Mancs and Scousers I'm afraid Do you think that most people where you come from are happy with their lot. Leeds gets quite a good rap from most these days, as being a decent place to live, by people in the UK that like the UK I mean ?
Its the people from East Anglia that have the most to complain about in my opinion
