Boro is a sthole. I can't imagine what those areas around Bradford must be like.
Some parts are st holes yes.But as you edge out to Marton, Nunthorpe, Stokesly way its lovely. Easter side used to be rough and also places like Grange Town though that is more toward Redcar end (and Redcar is an absolute dump, except the front, which they tarted up decently)

One of my mates years back used sell a few used cars of Padgetts forecourt, at the time I think the family had three separate bike dealerships near a well known working mens club.
Padgetts main dealership was on Bradford Road in Batley, virtually next to the Batley Variety Club (latterly the Frontier)I believe the family lived in a house on Soothill as you go towards the Babes in the Wood (there were always fairly substantial motorhomes parked up there), and one of the sons (Gary) was killed in a road accident very close to where I grew up

Wow. And all because some people asked him to slow down. https://www.cravenherald.co.uk/news/23915313.skipt...
What a complete tool. Nice to see that justice has caught up with him.

First cousin marriages really should be banned in the UK. Nobody should have an arranged marriage, and the genetic problems alone should mean it shouldn't happen, especially if it's generation after generation.soxboy said:
Believe it or not this is progress in several ways. Years ago I was mates with the judge who chaired a review into birth abnormalities in Bradford. At by the time the conclusion (abnormalities were due to marrying cousins) was hushed up.At least now it can be talked about.
Still a backward place though.

What on earth is that type of ward?
If people want to have arranged marriages then have at it - they believe it works. The whole cousin thing is just, I dunno, little-empirism. I can see the logic behind it and it obviously predates the science of genetics but it has the scope to obliterate what it's for. I guess it wasn't much of a problem when the problem could be disposed of in more backward times and places....
