Why split hairs???



You still cant polish a turd!!

They seem to have managed quite well polishing Leeds.

Leeds is one of the business capitals of the north.



Wakefiled is a pathetic excuse for a city.

As its in Wakey whether there are 15 or 150 I bet there's still only one outside privvy between them.

Is that one of these new cities?

And why would that be then?

Because they re-evaluated their initial decision I guess.

No, you are thinking of Featherstone!





I think one or two people need to lay of Wakey a little bit. It has been a city far, far longer than Leeds and was of course the last and therefore most recent capital City of West Yorkshire, a title that Leeds has never officially held. Leeds is a great and successful phoenix of a City and owes large parts of it's rapid growth to it surrounding towns and nearest City neighbour of Wakefield!

Shirley, the nearest city would be Bratfud? One side of Dick Lane is in Leeds, the other is in Bradford.

I think they are about equally as close to Leeds at around 8 miles city centre, to city centre, but again Bradford, like Leeds, was not an important centre of commerce until the 17th/18th Century and industrial revolution. Anyway, Wakefield was a City before either of them, just think some people are giving Wakefield a hard time without any real justification other than for the sake of putting it down.

Of course, being from York, I look down my nose at all of you.

Exactly, just goes to prove you can polish a turd
