Beware! Leeds is s***hole

[InterestGuardian]

I lived up north and down south and Leeds is a place where people:

1. offers you poorer service than anywhere else at a higher premium, worst value for money
2. are lacking of moral values and self respect and gives you the impression that they are b** raised
3. don't contribute to safer society, simply hopeless

For those who enjoys "back-to-back" properties or Leeds, hope you enjoy the depreciating property price and this city's decaying future. Otherwise I'd hope you'd avoid this s*hole!

Wakey, Sheffield, York & Hull on their group chat ‘what’s b**raised?’
Harrogate mutes the chat.

If you want a shithole, try Bradford, sounds like you’d love it!

Lol, my partner's first house was one of those back to backs. I lived in Kirkstall for nearly 2 years, very short walk from the lovely abbey. The burglary in Leeds is something else, I'll never forget our neighbour was burgled in daytime and the little shit who broke in even answered the door to the postman and took a parcel in! Brass neck. We had to have those grills on all the doors.

I hated the weather too. Rained every day until about 5pm all summer and it was -10oC in the winter sometimes, grim, I am a softy southerner at heart.. It was not at all my fav place to live in the UK, in fact I disliked it but oh man, 20 mins out and you were in the stunning Yorkshire countryside and that's a treasure. Had some amazing days exploring and enjoying the more well known places too. Leeds is saved by it's location.

@InterestGuardianwhere do you like?

What on earth 😆

I used to live in Leeds.
I thought it was quite nice.

Me and my mate had a lovely coffee in Leeds Corn Exchange today, amazing building, love it.

Ahaha, try Liverpool

It was very nice by the docks when I was there - about 20 years ago!

Oh no, not ANOTHER thread bashing ANOTHER city.

My mum and dad were born and raised in Chapel Allerton. I almost was born there but got stuck, I'm told, and blue lighted to hospital,for shame.

People in Leeds usually say 'in' btw. We're not all northern caricatures

Is this a tit for tat post? On the back of yesterday’s ‘Birmingham is a shithole’ post? Do you live in Birmingham OP?

I second Bradford. City of culture my arse…..

Stay down South then, sounds like it suits you.

You're wrong. HTH.

I've lived in London for over 30 years, now more than half my life, but I still miss my home city and my university city 40 miles over the Pennines. A sister followed me to Manchester and now lives and works a few miles from the university. My cousin came to Leeds from London, his brother was at Manchester 10 years ahead of me, and their sister lived in Bradford briefly. My other cousin.

OP, I'm sure Leeds won't miss you.

I’m a St. James’ Hospital baby myself!
But by that time DDad had made it to Oakwood.
Another place I’d jump at the chance of living in.

I reckon they got dumped by their mates on the Otley run!

Well I’m not in Leeds and am down south so I’m feeling smug about my choices. Phew.

My DS works in Chapel Allerton nowadays. He says it's a great area, good shops etc. easy parking.

Tbf this is like saying London is awful because you lived in Tower Hamlets…

Oh the irony of you calling it inverse snobbery thus implying that a Leeds accent is low class and common.

Oh FFS, these posts are getting ridiculous. I assume it's bots stirring up discontent. Of all the places I've lived in the UK (rural, cities and towns), Leeds is by far my favourite. The people are lovely, the city is beautiful and the cost of living is fantastic. I'd move back in a heart beat if I could.

I wasn't a 'local' there and was made to feel at home instantly

Oi!

Nothing wrong with Manchester Your Grace. Leeds is great too.

What’s with the posts slagging off cities? Birmingham got it too.
