Thought for the Dazed

I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.

Leeds Bargain Hunter

Leeds future sky

Went to Leeds today to look out for cheap clothes in the "Shop for strangely shaped people that cares not for style, quality or its customers". A tip, oh managers of such shops. Bearing in mind that the aim of a retail establishment is to entice shoppers inside to part with funds for goods, do not put something eerily tasteless in orange and brown directly inside the front door. Things did not improve much once we got further inside. A duffle coat that looked good in a picture turned out to be made of fuzzy felt and one of the buttons fell off as I tried it on.

However, we did manage to find a couple of tasteful items worthy of investment (thank heavens for Ben Sherman shirts) and so the trip was not a complete waste. And we did get to to go Ikea for meatballs.

Oh so you've been bearing the brunt of West Yorkshire's Crappy Crappiness. Before I came to Hull I had to deal with minor niggles like this everyday, being a former local of Bradford. My dad and I are trying desperately to get Mum to Sell up and move to Brid :)

West Yorkshire is nice. It is just that the shop where I can buy clothes in Leeds is not. If you want good and attentive service in this area, go to the shop in Cheltenham, where a nice lady will help you select items from a good range and then offer you extra discount which usually results in me spending far more than I'd planned.....
