    I was thinking of making a wildlife-style documentary about Yorkshire folk (I'm from Leeds before anyone comments :p ). I was thinking about taking a video camera out into Leeds on a Saturday night to see what insights I could gain.

    In many nights out in Leeds I've only ever seen one fight (and no I wasn't involved in it :p ). It depends on where you go I guess.

    Every time I went to Newcastle there was a fight - puts you off...

    I've only been to Newcastle once (for a stag do), but there weren't any fights.

    I must have a calming aura.

    Is there noone who you could car share with and save them (and you!!) some money?

    Or can you ask for a company car?

    I have been offered this by colleagues, but many of them are part-time which doesn't help me. I think there is a lease car scheme, so more for me to look into! Thanks for your ideas Maz!

    I had a couple of days in Leeds last year. We had a fab Indian meal and walked back through the centre. There were groups of hens and stag parties roaming around. They made me feel cultured and posh :rotfl: :rotfl:
