Which side of Leeds are you?

I’ve never understood why people want to know where in Leeds I am right at the top of a conversation. Why would I share where I live with complete strangers? Any insights fabbers? Are they trying to suss out whether I live the ‘right’ side, or whether I’m on the ‘bi-side’?

"Leeds is huge tho pudsey to weatherbys a fair treck not to mention east to west leeds i can see why tbf"

But I don’t accommodate, so it’s irrelevant where I am..

And I seem to remember you making some fairly long journeys for women when you were meeting..

Probably not, but to some it maybe.

The serious answer I suppose it depends on how you travel and how used you are to travelling.

It could also be a question that judges you according to district if you know Leeds.

There and to the left a bit

I guess it's an easy conversational question to ask - similar to if you were chatting to someone in a bar you'd ask where they're from in an initial conversation- the only difference here is they already know the general area so it's kind of the next logical question - don't think anything is meant by it, as in trying to pinpoint where you are, and a suitably vague answer could still be given.

As others have said, I don't imagine they're looking for your street name, more an idea of how local you are. Leeds area could be 5 minutes or the thick end of an hour.

They aren't asking for you address and postcode. Just an area of Leeds. It's called making conversation I guess.

It’s just conversation I guess but possibly the shittest icebreaker ever.

It’s an online version of do you come here often.

When it’s within the first two or three messages I’m with you. So many more interesting things you could ask me!

Places in Leeds you should never visit :-

Harehills

Beeston

Holbeck

Halton Moor

Burmantofts

Chapeltown

The above are in no particular order, but if you value your life, possession and self respect it's best to avoid.

We're out towards the airport ourselves.
