Ok so we may not have the massive stores and shop like in most places around the world, although Bradford has the new ‘Broadway’ & Leeds has ‘Victoria’ along with others, there is also large shopping centres in nearby Manchester & Newcastle so all in all ‘up north’ and Yorkshire can offer more or less everything most people want without flying off all over the world?
Having said that Yorkshire has its own major Airport with Leeds & Bradford Airport as well as a dozen or so scattered all over the north of England including Manchester where you can fly to almost any destination you want from here without the hassle of London?
