Oh Boy, Nostalgia in bucket loads. I drove to Leeds last friday for the first time in a few years...its a strange place to me now having lived there from 1974-85, and worked there until 95. I thought I knew it like the back of my hand...not now I don't.

Bring back the old Leeds!! Used to visit the city centre back in the 90`s and early noughties. Since 2010 its become a rotten hellhole, extremely violent and totally crazy. Stopped going years ago, even the train station has an air of aggression about it.

+trippy 119, couldn`t of put it better myself. It truly is a dump. The city started to suffer when third world citizens started to take it over. Like many other UK cities, Leeds has lost its identity. I remember Bradford from the 90`s, it was going down the plughole faster then Usain Bolt!!! The city is finished, thanks to a government of scumbags, its more unequal than it ever was before. Its full of chancers who are out to screw as much cash out of you as they can.

I’d probably say crime was worse then. No cctv and phones = a person less likely to be caught for their crimes. Even litter was probably worse then due to the stewardship of the planet not being as important then. E.g. less recycling bins and public bins in general

I was born in Leeds in 1954.Lived here all my life and regardless of a lot of regeneration I still think it was better then than it is now.Too many people that do not connect with anyone.Drugs.crime, people trafficking and overall criminality with a justice system and a health service that are just not fit for the purpose they were set up.I doubt if brexit will make much difference in my lifetime.If indeed it will ever happen.I know I am an endangered species.An Englishman.The Leeds and indeed the country I was born in has long gone.Like the famous novel and film Gone With The Wind.Sad.
