And both Tower Hamlets & Chelsea are in London but they certainly don't have the same residents. :grin:
Bradford is a nice place to visit. Some amazing architecture!
There is Oy. There's also a Betty's in Ilkley. They're worth a visit just for the Fat Rascals. 😊
If Bradford is city the of culture, who's culture will they be celebrating?

Can somebody explain this "diversity" thing. There seems to be very little of what I thought diversity is in that picture.
No women either ! mind they're not allowed to vote :cool:
I'm not sure it's Bradford though. I tried to find Carr street in Bradford on Google maps so I could see if street view had spotted any diversity ( I drove through once years back en route to a customer somewhere near there and didn't so wasn't hopeful) but none of the intersections looked like that. It may be some other street name though as it isn't over clear.
I don't know if it's Bradford or not, my only experience was in Blackburn a few years ago. My friend and I had been to Boundary Mill near Chorley and I can't remember where we were heading, but I got lost on outskirts of Blackburn and drove through an obviously 'no go area' for two white women :grin: :grin: We locked the doors as I tried to find my way out of it, a bit scary tbh - not scary exactly, but they were intimidating, it may have been the white frocks of course. :grin: :grin: :grin:
I had a similar experience. In Glasgow :grin:
Try Luton, that is scary.

Plenty of diversity there. Some have hats on and others don't. :-)
when I look at that picture I say to myself 'so this is England? Really?'

Remember that the number of towns where that type of
photograph can be taken will grow. One day villages will
be pictured in a similar way.
Just be thankful that we will never see it in our lifetimes.....
Being very old does have this advantage.
true
I doubt you'll get a picture like that where I live any time soon.
Far too many Poles, Rumanians and Lithuanians. They'd not stand for it.
