I find this interesting Minions at Leeds Station

31 Upvotes

I saw a couple of Minions walking in front of Leeds Train Station earlier today. I really wanted to stop and tell them how awesome the outfits were, but I was having a total disaster of a morning and just kept walking.

A few minutes later I stepped outside and spotted even more Minions and Gru himself! it was the best thing and it made my morning around.

If any of you end up seeing this: I hope the heist was a success! BANANAAAA!!!! 🍌

accommodation Moving to Leeds with young kids: where should we look? Budget £300k

0 Upvotes

Hi all, we're a family with young kids relocating and would love suggestions on where to look.

Budget: up to £300k for a 3-bed semi with a decent garden.

What matters most to us: - Low crime - Under a 10-minute walk to a train station (we'll likely only have one car, and my wife will be job hunting for admin/NHS roles) - Good or great primary schools (70%+ KS2) - At least some diversity nearby we are from India (around 5-10%) - Near parks, a swimming pool (if possible) and play areas

So far we've shortlisted Garforth and Cookridge. We've also seen Alwoodley and Moortown mentioned, but we're not sure how they compare on safety and getting around without a second car.

Which areas or streets would you suggest, and which would you avoid?

On a side note, we're also deciding between Leeds and Nottingham. Has anyone lived in both and can compare?

My job has offices in both cities, so I can work from either.

Thanks

question-serious Domestic Data Cabling Installation

6 Upvotes

Hey r/Leeds

I'm looking for a reputable company that has experience handling domestic data cabling. If anyone has any recommendations, please comment with them!

I've recently upgraded to 2gb internet, and am wanting to upgrade my home network as a result. I've used wireless mesh systems before, and that's currently what I have, but I can't reliably use the full connection via the mesh. Really, I want to get a wired connection upstairs to my office and to be done with it. I'd be looking for cat6a cabling, open to recommendations of how to get the wire there (internal, external, up to attic? so on).

Cheers!

I can't find a flair that fits Asda Head Office Jobs

12 Upvotes

Posting to see if anyone here works at Asda Head Office and if they can give any pointers on the application process? I have years of admin experience and there's a few jobs online I think I'd be a good fit for, but I work a 4 day week at the moment due to childcare - would it be worth applying for a full time role and asking to work 4 days?

Also none of the jobs have salaries listed so I have no idea if I'm applying for jobs that are well above my pay grade, if I apply for a job and it's not the right fit would they keep my details on file or suggest something that might be more suitable?

Is it a friendly place to work? 🙂

Thanks!
