One thing to be said for the Africa decscended folk of Caipelle Town, show love and and you will be loved in return. And more.
I used to work in a Pisa restraint in the mid eighties ,I lived on sycamore ave and use cycle home with a a16” pizza on my bike cycling up spencer place stopping off to feed the ladies …it was amazing they were always so kind to me and the guys always were cool….I love chappi ❤💚✌️
Lived in Chapeltown as a baby and got moved to Meanwood with a few Jamaican families. There was some great kids from Chapeltown, hard working and a good laugh, played football on the top fields with them ever summer in the 80s. Great times.
Some on this video didn't do themselves any favours, saying you can smoke a pound and still drive is idiotic.
Trust me they all say the unemployed don't want to work. Shit I've applied for about 10 jobs in the past week and haven't been offered one interview
Yes, even stupid jobs, like stockin shelfs in a supermarkets is hard to get!
@@callyodmedia2 trust me
Behave there is plenty of jobs out there

A no go area of leeds that as children we were told never to go there as we would be mugged or robbed. Massive drugs problems and the Hayfield pub had to be demolished because of all the drug dealing and gun crimes.
You should have been taught the Golden Rule instead.
I miss leeds
I know a few of these faces!
Even the most deprived areas with property boarded up, the streets were clean with no litter or weeds. 30 odd years ago it looked like people took pride in their immediate surroundings. Go to any big UK city now and the streets are littered and untidy. When i was at school 80s-90s there was little racism and was multicultural. The only prejudice was between Muslim and Sikh pupils that only years later found out the hate. There was banter, nothing offensive between peach or brown pupils and if someone fell out it was because they were a nob. My kids are brown, they would think im mad if id say that they are black but my eldest says he's peach coloured
Hi Saffron. Can I contact you? I am researcher from Uni of Leeds looking into the cultural impact of Sound-system culture. Some of your footage looks really interesting.
Hi - private message me
There certainly was a cultural impact.i hope u will include big American cities like Philadelphia in your research there's positives and negatives in that culture.
@@komododrag5232 I am mainly concerned with British sound systems. Although I have read about sound systems in the US, Europe and Japan.
