Yet we (Colchester) don't want it but it seems to be getting forced upon us.......

Shock horror. Bradford has no curry houses.

I moved away in 96 but went back often, to see folk. Gradually seeing the demise of my old local pubs.

Asians generally lived near centre of town in the cheaper houses. But as the population grew, they moved further out, taking over neighbourhoods. Hence no customers for the pubs.
Chippies went the same way.

But a pal here who grew up near me, was over in UK last week. Adding a few more pubs to the list.

He also said that most of our fave curry houses have also gone.
All turned into trendy kebab houses. The young Asian kids don't wanna hang about in curry houses

It's all gone full circle

The staff in every curry house I've been into in Barnsley and Sheffield drive in from Bratford every night, they're often shipped in by mini bus.

I remember the Bradford fire.

I remember the Bradford fire.

All my pals knew somebody who was in the ground. Could see the smoke from miles away.
The town was very sombre that night. Pubs were quiet. Hit everybody hard.

My step brother was at it (Other side of stadium) I was at work (Norfolk Gardens Hotel) prepping for a large lunch party for the club as they had been promoted if i remember correct

Tell you what though, he's looking great for a victorian doctor born in the 19th Century.

Jon Snow is a legend. That’s a big loss for news media.

I was trying to find out when that changed as now it's any Snowflake in many locations. The Met office changed it as many people were gambling on a white Christmas, did it happen to change the same year many Met office staff placed bets?

Be fine in the UK anyway, its not (shouldn't!) be possible to touch live prongs with the plugs half way out.

But then again...
