Returning to Leeds from darkest Limousin I have started my yearly quest for gainful employment.
'My Goodness' what a strange place Leeds has become over the last few years.
At least half the jobs with the Recruitment Agencies are for Recruitment Agents.
This is not a sign of prosperity it means they are struggling and trying desperately to wrestle what little remains of the market from each others greedy lips.
Leeds City Council have built a million pound patio in front of the Civic hall.
Hosting wonderful events like German markets, and I did miss by a few weeks 'Or so I am told'
the spectacle of 'The Lady-boys of Bangkok'.
BUT be warned!
single working class blokes of Leeds.
Skinny little things are all very well but who is going to carry the shopping home when the bus knocks.
and hang on a minute;
what of our home grown (and slightly more ergonomic) lady-boys from the up-market canal side dwellings of Leeds. When will they be putting on a show for the public?
Is our home grown talent not cosmopolitan enough, or more likely not worthy of a wine bar titter from our over-paid council media guru's.
In conclusion, next time I pop into Leeds centre I would like to see a fruit and veg stall on the 'million pound patio'. Just so I know the powers that be have not lost their working class touch.
Perhaps Babs (who used hang out down near the 'Mucky Duck' as it used to be nicknamed)
could turn up with a few friends and put on a free show'
Something involving hats covered in fruit, yes now I remember someone telling about Babs and the hat covered in fruit.
Ahem!
We shall not be moved
-
I went on my first demonstration today.
What got me off my bum? The bedroom tax that's what.
No it doesn't affect me directly I don't get housing benefit...
