Google Bot 3,299 Posted October 15, 2009 Leeds had begun as a Saxon village in 1068 with a population of 200. It was officially given town status in 1207 by the Lord of the Manor, Marquis De Sade.Or something like that, i may have missed something. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blahblahblah 2 Posted October 15, 2009 From http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/LeedsRecently, Leeds has seen a huge explosion in its tourist industry.Africans and South Americans in particular have been flocking over toexperience the year-round cold and miserable weather, a perfectantidote to the scorching sunshine of their home countries. The mainMarks & Spencer store in the city (or at least the café inside it)appears to be a magnet for Americans boasting to each other about howgreat America is next to Britain. These same people seem to haveinvaded York too. Many tourists are seen relaxing in deckchairs in Roundhay Parkon midsummer afternoons, enjoying the local kebabs, rain and luke-warmTetley bitter, before venturing to local pubs for an evening ofdrunkenness, violence and STDs.Also popular are its "savage reservations" especially aroundBurley, Chapeltown, Seacroft, Swarcliffe, Harehills and bits of thecity centre, where tourists can see real-life savagery in action, suchas gangs of kids beating up students, stealing cars, burning down pubsand robbing houses.
