So far I haven't seen a good argument for going.

Really though, if I wanted the option to leave my car on the street and still own one in the morning or walk the streets of downtown and feel safe, or go to the store and have the group of teen hanging out open the door for me, or have a school where the kids won't get put down by the teacher, or or or... where would I go?

But whats wrong with Leeds? It seemed like a nice place and was my favorite of all those we visited. The first place we were asked if we were American. At a place called The Flying Pizza.

What kind of son in law (or two) will I get?

As far as the accent goes, I'm sure we didn't invent it. It must have come from somewhere. Do we sound like the English of hundreds of years ago? Not that anyones old enough to remember. I hope

Second finanical city, victorian splendor, fab shopping, a bit of back to back grit, near the dales, the north york moors. Flying pizza- do you still have to park your very loud cars outside?

But even in Calgary there are places I wouldn't get out of my car.
