Leeds Past and Present

Todays dreadful news about the closure of Harry Ramsden's first Fish & Chip shop in Leeds reminded me of the Harry Enfiled sketch in which Mr Blob a northern Creative Director is accusued that his plans aren't sophisticated enough.

His retort: Sophisticated? I've BEEN to Leeds!

White Bread, likes what he says and says what he blooming well likes,

Badger in the Big Apple

The Big Apple is an experience in its own right; it can be an assault on the senses, a great night out, a cultural hub or numerous other things. It really is a melting pot of the world and one of the most interesting places on earth to visit.

As the song goes’ New York, New York, it’s a hell of a town,’ so make sure that you visit it once in your lifetime. The city that never sleeps is a wonderful place to experience, offering a one of the most disparate experiences on earth, with people of every creed, colour and race living side by side.

The city is also a spectacular place aesthetically, with its amazing skyline, architecture and buildings. To get the most out of a day out in New York, here are a few ideas.

Getting to see the whole city while only there for a short period can be a task, however Helicopter Flight Services based in the city can offer you that chance. Imagine flying across the whole city and seeing the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Empire State building in one hour, well it’s possible with a helicopter ride.

The Helicopter Flight Services use some of the most modern helicopters available and meet rigorous safety checks, which may ease nervous flyers.

Etihad have nonstop flights to NYC from Dubai flying out of Abu Dhabi International Airport - the hub airport for the national flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates.
