it's hard to work in Leeds.
It's interesting you say that - I think it's quite tricky to punt in Leeds at the moment! Yes there are a few top indies and a couple of agencies that are very well thought of, but after that it's pretty slim pickings if you want good service and reliability. Certainly, if you compare Leeds to Manchester, then we lose hands down! Currently, at least.
There are some very good girls that stop by in Leeds from time to time - yourself certainly included - but the girls that seem to stay are...well, nothing to get the pulse racing.
My punting over the past month or so has slowed down, largely because I refuse to spend what is a sizeable amount of money unless I know, or can at least confidently predict it will be money well spent.
