I know, I have to laugh or I'd be rocking and humming. Other choice locations I've resided in include Bridgwater in Somerset, Barrow In Furness and Keighley. I was thinking of trying Scunthorpe next.

Get a grip Joolz, you pretentious bitch. You're the voice of nobody. If real Bradford residents were given a platform to voice their true inner most feelings, we would be seeing & hearing a totally different & more honest outlook. The place is a complete shithole.

Elephant in the room indeed.

Uhm I've been to bradford once and there doesn't seem to be much reason to go again... so, this whole statement seems a bit desperate. Joolz, why don't you sit in some of the real 90% of bradford architecture and tell us how we can live there just as nicely as we could in, say, Lyon or Dresden or Rotterdam (or anyplace that isnt california)... because, yay, actually we can! :)

the female David Brent, anyone? "Split Look"!! technical term is that, Joolz? shut up and fuck off.

Joolz ......what can one say? Most did not like her in the Punk days, when she pretended to be a witch. Now she pretends to be a poet and a writer. read her books (literary and poetry) absolutely terrible! she is a self proclaimed voice of Bradford. let me assure you she is the voice of no one!

fat, sad, ugly, untalented, bitter, egotistical, tedious cow!

What a well presented & interesting vid. Well done Joolz. (Love your wool baron voice!!!) I love looking at old buildings - always have done (I'm 62). I think one of the reasons I didn't learn to drive until I was 40 was because I couldn't drive & stare at buildings at the same time. Haven't been in Bradford centre for a few months now but have suggested to hubby that we go in one Sunday & just have a good walk around - if it ever stops raining.

Bradford has the shittiest road network in the UK. Laughable ring road & roundabouts on A650 (a 3 lane road) that are only wide enough for 2 cars. The Dudley Hill bottleneck 4 lanes into 1. PATHETIC!

Yup, the stone carving in Bradford is so fine, really amazing, some of the finest in the world - LOL. Let's ignore all the REAL issues of this fucking City eh? Let's pretend the real problems within Bradford don't exist, just so long as the stone carving is the finest in Europe. Dirty dirty Bradford.

excuse me but dont tar all us bradfordians with the same brush...we aint all "dodgy".ive lived in bradford (the nicer end tho) all my life,i do think its turned into a shithole thanks to the council who only care about money.just look at the odeon for instance.a once beautiful building and now its turned to shit all because they wanna build a a new ugly concrete building to house offices and posh bars that will only go unsold for years like the rest of bradford
