Why is it so difficult to go and look for yourself though. You might enjoy it. Surely its easier too, rather than getting a list on here.

It's not difficult, I just don't like wasting what little time I have, so by anyone knowing for sure what shops are still open, and judging from which stores if it would be worthwhile me going, it would save me a potentially wasted trip as I'm here alone, I don't savour wandering round places alone as the nights are drawing in - That's just personal choice. Didn't think there would be an issue in asking

Not to worry though, i'm off to the White Rose instead.

White Rose is not a bad place, if a bit on the small side

Because I'm not from Leeds, but have to be here for work and they won't pay for a flat for me, so they put me up in a hotel every week.

I didn't fancy doing 160 miles a day round trip from durham to leeds every day either

Quite right Jamie, but his name was really Bruce and was a real character!

All understood LL, hope the White Rose came up to expectations.

Been back to White Rose, spent rather a lot of money and bought so many things the bags wouldnt fit on the passenger seat & footwell, or on the back seat and it filled the boot up.

I blame Bank, they have huge non squidgy carrier bags!
