- Just a comment on the alleged hook up spot in Cross Gates...some of us actually do have more than one brain cell....some of us even get to use them every day! Honestly, you would think if a comment was worth writing it would be worth writing correctly!..By the way ADOLESCENTS is the way we with brain cells spell the word!
- Coptrin Wall. Rothwell.
- My appologies to the recipient of this email if you are NOT the hatemongerrer who wrote the article attacking the Homeless.
Whoever it is who wrote the articles which attack the homeless in Wakefield and Leeds, I hope he becomes homeless in later life.
When he is sufferring on the streets, being spat at, abused and attacked by lumpen proletarian thugs, he should remember his attitudes, which he had when he wrote that article. Scales of Karma.
- hyde park. in the daytime. niiiiice concrete. nice charvers, too.

- Letter Shop Group. Route 2 (topps tiles).
- mostly millenium square is the first place to meet.exit in the corn exchange or wisdom jus outside.sumtimes central road where the "new old " wisdom used to be, but not so much anymore.roundhay skate park used to be a regular meeting place for me but since its winter and ther e now is better places to go and skate there probably wont be any more meetings there.
- Outside maccy d's in the st johns centre, sraight off the bus and your there, wherever u live! magic
- The White Rose center, full of fit lads (with funny hair!!!)
- Beckett's Park, Headingley Leeds. Thats the place to be. Spent most of my teenage days there playing football with the massive. Great days, great place. The anoying this is that they seem to have built a skatepark on our tennis court where we used to play football. If that makes sense. The Council eh?!
- Hyde Park in the summer lots of topless boys trying to play frisbie
- The barrel man, beopfre college and when having a shopping day, tis the place to be..well meet but hey! not beofre a night out though, bit risky hanging round there on a night, go to the light, downstairs on the benches safe night time place to meet

- Hyde Park. But beware in the summer if you're not local, nuff b boys ready to tax you of anything worthwhile.
- meetin in parks schools and fields. Anywhere to drink,smoke and shag!
- Well, I usually travel to Leeds, so for me it has to be the train station - a tad dull, but at least everyone knows where it is
- Playhouse
- Corn Exchange-2 years ago the odd random "wierdo" now a sea of mini-moshers quite stomach turning.

- The train station with its bizarre and often amusing clientele.
- strawberry fields, forget dreaming of getting into pubs, kids always hang around outside this one (or in it if there over 11)... next to fenton. But its a bit young!
- I am particularly fond of a row of telephone boxes and a bus shelter on Moorland Road, Hyde Park.
- The general young punks and goths tend to find their own amusement hanging around the Corn-Exchange all day on Satutdays.
Just go to the front entrance if you fancy chilling with them.
In the summer you will find the majority of the skaters hanging around the Hyde Park skate park.
You will always find people at the West Yorkshire Playhouse!Less at the university
- Hyde park in the summertime
- Londoners and Tourists think leeds is not worth dirtying their shoes with, IT WILL BLOW THEIR SOCKS OF-V.High Quality environment, the best 2 of my 30 years were spent in this town, with these fantastic people, and that was 6 years ago, imagine what its like now they have discoverd culture, capacino and electricity!!!!
- loads of slipknot, korn and green day freaks tend to lurk around the corn exchange

- Just a word of thanks.Finally contacted by someone I posted on the notice board. Havent been in contact for 38years. Thanks very much
- West Yorkshire Playhouse
- Definitely Hyde Park.
Full of tight bodied skateboarders.
The amount of people there rivals Central Park in downtown SF. (more mad people in Leeds though).
Lots of Dope chillers in DC's and phat pants.
- cross green in Leeds is a sad place full of thick no hoping kids who want to do nothing more but bum around. Avoid this area as much as you can!
- hyde park social club, ash grove off victoria road, ls6. dirt cheap booze, sofas, snooker, pool. dead friendly although you need to be / know a member to get in. membership costs fuck all. quiz nite on tuesdays. pool comps full of serious people with serious attitude. hilarious
- Morley: behind Morrisons or in park at about 12 most Saturdays.
- All the adolesants in the crossgates area seem to enjoy hanging around on a piece of grass, which the logal dogs like to shit on. This is possibly because all the kids around this area haven't got a brain cell to share between them.
- Golden acre park car park - either tokers or lovers all waiting to get busted by the filth....and some mucky perverts as well ......the secret garden is a must for late night excursions buyt you'll have to find it first
- Good meeting place is the "Man with the barrell" on the Headrow everybody knows it and it's slap bang in Leeds City Centre
