Proof in the Pudding

---

As it stands my 12 month residence in Britain will be interspersed between two very large and very well known cities: Leeds and London.

Currently London is where it’s at. I love it. And whilst, delving into the infinite history of this place, like tourists do, has been left in Azz’s capable hands - I have preferred to just experience what makes it tick.

Midweek in London is just as turbulent as weekends, with dinner dates, theatre, sport, and late night shopping keeping me busy. The nightlife, quite simply, has to be experienced to be believed. It is incredible. It is rampant. And it borders on nocturnal. The ultra chic way of living is right up my alley. And to be honest, the expense factor is only an issue if you are not earning really good pound… thankfully, I don’t fit into that category.

So, if so suited to London life, why spend the first half of the year living amongst the defective debauchery of Leeds?

Well, unless you were one of the privileged few to live under the hallowed crown of Langdale you would be entitled to question this reality. Common cries of “Dave, London is so much more you” and “What can Leeds offer that London can’t?” hailed from both abroad and from Londoners alike.

Finding a good decent answer was difficult. An answer pointing out that there was plenty of work for teachers in Leeds sounded feeble when comparing it to what’s available in the big smoke. Stating the ability to save money sounded tight and well out of character. If I said it didn’t matter because Leeds was a comfortable MegaBus journey to London I’d have been lieing. Or, by using the draw card that Leeds’ nightlife is rated in Britain’s Top 5 cities would only be putting up against the city that came in at no.1.

Truth be told, it was hard to find evidence to support the love we knew existed within the walls of 32 Langdale Gardens… that is until now. Believe it or not, it was Azz’s bible - no not the TV Guide - Men’s Health Magazine that provided the answer.

The Proof is now in the Pudding.

Lots of Leeds Love in London,

PS I’m glad we didn’t reside in Belfast
