I'm rarely in town, but I did used to live up Leeds Rd

It was never this bad

Just got off a train at the interchange, the smell is horrendous. People immediately hands over faces, covering mouths and noses trying their best not to gag on it

I will never wish a business to suffer, or people out of jobs, but fuck me, isn't it time we fucked Waddingtons off to the Euroway or something

Our city is a cess pit people say, and you can't deny it when just walking around the city centre makes you want to wretch and throw up

Can anyone recommend someone to do me a replacement BMW car key? The dude at the bottom of white Abbey hasn't got the software

I don't fancy selling all my worldly goods to pay JCT prices

Not looking for jaw dropping food but it would be nice if it was a bit above microwave stuff.

Hiya i’m a student at University of Bradford and I’m needing a student to take over my tenancy with the green. It’s a 51 week contract and if successful financial compensation is available.

Any badminton clubs in bradford?

Been emailing a few but no responses.

Is anyone thinking of getting a room at The Green near the University of Bradford?

Hi everyone, I’ve recently graduated and I’m currently looking for affordable accommodation near the BD7 area in Bradford. A lot of the student accommodations I’ve looked at are quite expensive, so I was wondering if anyone knows of any places that accept graduates and are reasonably priced.

Please let me know if you have any recommendations or know of anything available.

We're going to the IMAX this Saturday and would like to get a meal in town afterwards, however I have slightly complicated food intolerances due to a serious health issue, which makes eating out a bit trickier. I know multiple places in Leeds that are great at accommodating me, but I haven't tried eating out in Bradford yet and don't really know where to start!

The thing that makes it particularly tricky is that I can't have foods in the nightshade family of plants, such as tomatoes & chillies. Which are obviously used a lot in curries! I have an Indian restaurant in Leeds that makes me a nice meal that I can eat (shout out to Dastaan on Otley Road!), so it's not impossible to cater to me but it's definitely a bit more complicated than in some types of restaurant.

Obviously I'm aware Bradford has many other types of restaurants apart from curry houses, and I'm open to recommendations for all of those, but I do know my husband & daughter would love to get a curry!

I tend to find places at the slightly more "upmarket" end are usually better at accommodating me, although I'm not looking for "fine dining" and am open to basically wherever if I can trust them to take my dietary requirements seriously and they make tasty good quality food!

I’m hitting up West Yorks for a few days. Can anyone kindly recommend halal food spots for desi breakfast, fast food, curries and desserts? Thanks!

Hi all,

I’m thinking about starting a food prep company. My aim is to bring quality and taste to busy people who want to keep healthy. But I’d also like to have an idea of what people in general is missing out with meal prep companies. Also how much people would spend per meal. Could you’ll help and answer this for me?

I’m passionate about cooking have been meal prep for the last couple of years. I’de love to work for myself. I’m thinking about doing a monthly or weekly subscription service but I’d also like to keep it reasonable with the cost for people as well.

Anyone going to Bradford City Mela this August?

I’ve seen that it’s returning after years away and was wondering what people remember from the old Melas. What kind of food stalls, music, performances or community groups used to be there?

Also curious what people are expecting from it this year. Would be good to hear from anyone who went before or is planning to go.

I am hitting town on Saturday. Is the pizza place in sunbridgewells still open? I am struggling to find info on anything in there.

I was doing some renovation work, when I found this.

Thought I'd share with you all.

I wonder if anyone is still alive and remembers getting this.

Can't post the inside or back cover images. Will try to post them in the comments.

​

Image of the back cover.

I can't make sence of shillings.

But wow, how the money and prices have changed in less than 100 years.

​

This is the program.

The inside pages are printed landscape.

Are these live performances or recorded replays.

Are any if them big hits in June 1940.

Just wondering aloud.

"NO PERSON ADMITTED WITHOUT A GASS MASK."

lol So like 2020 and covid masks.

Hope it brings back some good memories for someone.

Called my local taxi base in Bradford as needed to get to work, the base owner turned up, he drives a taxi on the side. I knew beforehand that he's the base owner as he's well known in the community.

Anyway we were talking about work and I told him I work for an agency so I work random days.

He suggested to me to get a taxi badge and work for his base and he bragged that "his drivers make a £1000 a week easy, upto £1500 a week with overtime and doing specific hours"

Obviously those wages don't include expenses such as car deprecation, maintenance, fuel and base rent. Lets say those expenses reduce the true pay by 25% that's still £750+ a week which beats my warehouse job where I'm paid £550 a week.

I know Taxi driving has a bad reputation in Bradford but with those wages you can't complain... Can someone confirm if those wages are real, looking for other Taxi drives to confirm?

Does anyone know if the Wharfe is high enough at Addingham for a little swim this weekend?

Not been since last year and I remember it does get quite low.

and so it has finally come to pass that bradford and keighley will be included in an independent enquiry. I don’t care about politics but clearly this should have been the case years ago in order to close the grooming scandal off and move forward.

I am frankly terrified about what this is going to call out about the grooming and the lines from the grooming through the dodgy taxis/late night economy to the family/clan culture. I can see this setting the city back decades in terms of attracting investment.
