Thread: Good News!

I finally got down to Dandy Brown's in Leeds (*Spit*) for a wet shave and had a blast. Was a real good experience and one that left me almost asleep whilst a female complete stranger weilded something extremely sharp near my unguarded neck.

From the skin treatments, to the shave to kthe glass of Duval beer to finish it was brilliant. UK guys, if you find yourself in Leeds then give it a go!

On a personal note though...I shave myself closer than they got whic for me is a total win! Close call but I think I just shade it!

Sounds great Si! What a shame it's in <spit> Leeds (note to any Yorkshire residents: just friendly footie banter, honest!).

My shave at T&H in London was similarly not as close as I achieve at home, but I think that has as much to do with avoiding razor burn for customers with sensitive skin than any skill levels, possibly.

So, I have to ask: what was the Yorkshire Lass like?

Gentle and attentive!

I was posted in Bradford for 3 months, and I wouldn't say Football is the biggest crunch point between Bradford and (ptui) Leeds - Rugby League seemed to me to be the big one...

I was only there 3 months, and I have to admit I was pleased to get back to Bournemouth where my job was based.

Alright, I can't help myself

What up with the "(spit) Leeds"??

I assume it's some sort of rivalry??


Steve (feeling left out across the pond )

British rivalry. Bradford and Leeds are two cities close together that for many reasons (sport and erm....sport.) dislike each other.
I was just doing a course in Bournemouth for a month before I moved here. Nice town. I wonder if there are enough Brits here to create a north/south rivalry? hehe

I kind of guessed that but I'm glad for the clarification. Thanks

Yeah - so my family is from Newcastle, I have lived in North Yorkshire (Driffield), Wolverhampton, Swindon and Bournemouth, was born in Cyprus and have lived in Germany for 3.5 years on and off. I reckon I qualify to be a referee or something. I can sit on the fence with the best of them.

Funniest thing is when I speak at work I am a pure queens English man, at home its more West Country, and when I am drunk I sound Geordie.

I am my OWN north/south rivalry

Hehe. I'm 100% westcountry. aside from 4 years in Hull and Scarborough whilst at university. I was definately the odd one out there as I have a well spoken southerners accent. They thought it was hilarious to wind me up.
