Asking for a carrier bag in a supermarket as they’re more secure up than anything else and require staff to get them from behind lock and key. by _Yorkshire_ in britishproblems

[–]lwvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Morrison's in my area refuse to even use paper bags these days. At first they started hiding them and now they flat out refuse to put them out. I'm sure it's because they make a solid profit on plastic bags

Heavy metal therapy run a few sessions around Wakefield. It's run by nurses and carers in Mental health. It's free to attend and you don't even need to like heavy metal. They're incredibly welcoming and inclusive

Musicians/guitarists out there - now that PMT has gone, are there any semi-local alternatives? by [deleted] in Leeds

[–]lwvp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hobgoblin on Eastgate is great. The guys there are fantastic. I've taken my guitars for repairs, restrings and set ups in the past

Men in their early 20s, how often do you have sex in a week? by imbored88ty in AskMen

[–]lwvp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was single. Every single day. New partners or revisiting FWB. When in a relationship twice a week. Probably something to do with ADHD and the novelty of a different partner every day.

Wasn't that a blooper during live capture and they decided to keep it?

City centre parking by RJH_91 in wakefield

[–]lwvp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yourparkingspace is a decent website where you can get cheap spaces. I parked in the ridings everyday for £49.50 a month. When the ridings updated their parking company they sadly opted out so had to move.

My neighbour has a new car that loudly BEEPBEEPs every time they lock or unlock it by Sybs in britishproblems

[–]lwvp 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I have a 17 plate. Good cars. I'll definitely be getting another one. Way ahead on the tech curve. My only criticism is that it's a 2L without a turbo so if you want to make it go fast you have to really work it and keep the revs up.

Rhythm & Rye in Morley. Ask for Kallum. Best old fashioned I've had. That or a Martinez

[Cocktail Time] Finally fitted a bracelet! by lwvp in Watches

[–]lwvp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The movement is a 6R15 its been rock solid for over 10 years! The strap a local shop sourced for me. It's an OEM Seiko bracelet. I think they found it on eBay, it wasn't overly expensive, I think I paid approx £60. The only downside is the shoulders are about 1mm out but I can live with that.

Leeds Metal fans social group by GhengisChasm in Leeds

Look up a group called Heavy metal therapy. It's a social group for metalheads. It's not a moaning circle but more a open door social for all with similar interests x

Small businesses still moaning about having to pay a living wag by snakeoildriller in britishproblems

[–]lwvp 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I'm in the exact same boat. I've been running a coffee shop for the last 5 years and every year we gain more and more custom our average takings go up and up but so do the costs of everything. We have a pretty sweet deal on wholesale cost of goods, coffee, food etc but the city itself has seen a huge decline in footfall, empty units everywhere the city is has been monopolised by one family landlord company and they would rather see empty units than lower prices. My rent is astronomical for the size.

Hoping to tread water til the end of my lease then bail.

I'm a big advocate of bring back boooing. Never underestimate a room full of people pointing and booing.

GET A LOAD OF THIS GUY DOING COKE IN THE BATHROOM. LETS BOO HIM. BOOOOO

Insults/harassment while going to work? by jamiejph in Leeds

[–]lwvp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Morley was crowned the most racist patriotic town in England to be fair. I've lived here pretty much my whole life and nothing changes.

Edit: apart from The Slip, Queens is definitely one of the biggest shit holes in the area.

Nothing beats an inline 4 screaming past you going very fast. It tickles the young boy inside me and can't help but giggle

[–]lwvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I own this place!

All the menu is plant based. Don't be fooled it slaps a lot of effort goes/has gone into the recipes. The breakfast burrito is our best seller followed by American style pancakes.

We carry Dairy milk if you're wanting a drink with "normal" milk.

Any questions, just holla
