There are loads of good things to be said for Yorkshire, the scenery up on the moors and mountains is truly inspiring. It is as was pointed out earlier close to Gods country, Scotland for you unbelievers out there. Very centrally placed and pretty well serviced by all types of communications.
It is however let down by the weather, the built up area's and the minority of scum-bags that concentrate there. There is an underlying racial undercurrent that has occasionally spilled over into rioting. But to top it off my Mother in Law lives in Yorkshire and she is reason enough for me never to venture south of the border again
By all means work in Leeds but dont live there if you can help it.
