"demolished"

Why? You still live in Bradford.

That map is very white the more north you fly.

I haven't lived in Bradford on a permanent basis since 1998, and I was amazed by how much the city centre had declined when I went back for my stag night 2-3 years ago (fortunately the shock was lessened after a few pints). Not just the big piles of rubble and empty spaces, but most of the pubs/clubs we frequented were much more dilapidated than I remembered and the clientele rougher and less numerous. That's a pretty rapid decline in the space of less than 10 years. The latest news doesn't fill me with much hope for what the city will be like in another 10 years time, if indeed it exists in a form other than being a seat of local government.

Ah, that bit of our catchment area!!

Nothing to worry about tt, lots of my friends are LS ers (pronounced lessers) and I`d even let my daughter marry one, LS29 sort of butts up to to BD4 and is considered a sub-division; Bradford lite, if you will. So there you are. No need to be embarrassed at all!!

Eh? BD4 is at the bottom, to the right of the M606.

The city centre has got even worse in the past 2-3 years. I fear for the few attractions such as the Alhambra and Media Museum if the decline continues.

As far as pubs are concerned IMO the best ones near the city centre are some way out e.g the Fighting Cock and the Corn Dolly. The ones in the town centre have been allowed to rot.

Fortunately we live in more elightened times & that sort of same sex thing is legal now. (Not in Ilkley obviously).

I wouldn't agree with that mate. Whilst still a load of crap, I think it has marginally improved if anything. Don't ask for proof...it's just my opinion!!

Ah yes, I think I`m mixing LS 29 with LS 28.

Certainly not. I`m sure Bradford Council have bye-laws about that sort of thing....................

Thank goodness for that. It's like a poor man's LS13....
