    I've lived in this city for 50 years, I don't dislike living here although if I had a choice there are places not too far away I'd rather live. Get out to the outskirts of Bradford especially to the west and there's some lovely areas and views especially down the Aire Valley. Only yesterday I had someone come all the way from Liverpool to pick up an item and he commented how nice and quiet the area was. But the actual city of Bradford itself has very little going for it. Essentially landlocked with no major water source near the city centre, it suffers terribly in modern times for its geographical location, the transport links are non existent and the reason it prospered in the first place died a long time ago. Being able to change and adapt was easier for Hull, being by the coast surrounded by little else bar flat land is a developers dream. What really does Bradford as a city bring to the table other than a Victorian era that, other than stunning Victorian architecture, gave us the lowest life expectancy amongst the working classes, a canal, a railway and motorway that are all dead ends. I'm still trying to work out how, when businesses are relocating elsewhere because of such reasons as poor infrastructure, how winning this bud is going to create the apparent thousands.of permanent jobs that has been claimed. I might sound cynical but we've seen all these claims before.

    This is the woman who slagged of parents for calling their kids after place/location and has a daughter called India!

    I think fecked in the head springs to mind. I would be nailing your colours to a different mast if you want credence to your argument.

    Neutral on both really, I recognize that the monarchy really is a circus but brings in money and KH can both hit the mark and be wide of it sometimes...
