Leeds, the place where the sun don't shineAs I have it on good authority from a friend who lived there for many years.
But now a little story....
We were going to see a production of Macbeth in Leeds, which is about 1h45 from the school, so we set off in good weather, as we got further North the skies grew cloudier and cloudier, until, just as we passing a sign saying 'Welcome to Leeds' it began to piss down mightily.

Well speaking as a Sheffielder...Leeds is a fucking dump ;o)
Nah, if you go to the right places anywhere, it can be a shithole or nice. (I hope...)

I remember thinkingthat it seemed that everyone I saw had a really small chin as well. I can't believe that's true of the place in general, but the memory seems to have stuck!

Nah, it's not good round there (speaking as a United fan!)but you want to go up Manor Top or Parsons Cross or somewhere like that. Frightening!

Trueit's like anywhere - I've never seen as many rough people as I did in Sunderland but i still really like the place. And Sheffield is my home town and we've been shit on by Leeds since forever - we are doing a good job of making a space for ourselves in the world.
mmmm...maybe I'm getting a little too involved here....
