Nothing bad ever happened to me there, and folks were nice.
In a nutshell
East meets West on the moors
alyf1961 Says: SATURDAY 19th MAY 2012Despite the cold weather the parade was fantastic. A good turn out despite it being a cold day in May. The adults seemed to enjoy it more than the numerous school children who were mostly shivering with cold. The theme was "Royal jubilee" and the...

THE SIR TITUS SALT: WETHERSPOONS CLOSE TO THE ALHAMBRA
alyf1961 Says: I think that this is one of the few Wetherspoons that is wrongly named. Titus Salt is a legend around here, He provided good wages and decent housing for the families that worked in his mills. He was the 2nd Mayor of Bradford and he deserves a Wetherspoon named after him....

Helpfulness
Loads of unlicensed cabs so dont get into them! Biggest taxi rank is behing the city hall. However beware as they will try to rip you off. Try to go be the meter if you can, if not you need to sound like you have travelled to your destination before and be firm about what you will pay. It costs us around £12-5 to get from Bradford centre to Huddersfield or Oxenhope. Do not get into the taxi until you have agreed a price. And say "How much to _______? I usually pay £__". If they think you are local then they wont get away with rippping you off easily! Beware even the small local companies out in the dales will try to rip you off. Stand your ground! They will back down.

Equipment: You can bring your own skates, or rent if you have none
