Sadly, we still live in Bradford too (That is until we get our Visa's granted) To be fair, they are tryin to spruce the city centre up, but at the end of the day you can't polish a turd can you. Having grown up here and seen the steady decline of a once beautiful city, I won't be sad to see the back of it.

Ah, Saffron Drive...They've still got the gun turrets there since you left Wendy. I read in the Telegraph & Argus (local rag) that vandals broke into someones house on that road and decorated it
