shopping in leeds

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Me and Mrs SKOS are heading up to sunny yorkshire for the weekend to visit my in-laws and are thinking of popping into Leeds on Saturday for some retail therapy.

The wife is after a couple of 'gothy' tops - nothing too fancy or expensive (and not cyber!), but something suitable for the local goth night.

Can anyone recommend places to look? (and rough directions!) We used to just pop into the Dark Angel shop, but thats gone now isnt it?

Cheers.

The Corn Exchange and surrounding area is full of (quote unquote) alternative, independent stores...

... or so I've been told... I'd never go anywhere like that myself of course *cough, splutter* :innocent: :oops: :lol:

Leeds is pretty p!sh for that sort of stuff, in my experience though. Even Glasgow is better and London or any major city in mainland northern Europe beats it hands down anyday for threads of the light-absorbing variety :wink:
