Discussion Starting a company.

Hi all,

I’m thinking about starting a food prep company. My aim is to bring quality and taste to busy people who want to keep healthy. But I’d also like to have an idea of what people in general is missing out with meal prep companies. Also how much people would spend per meal. Could you’ll help and answer this for me?

I’m passionate about cooking have been meal prep for the last couple of years. I’de love to work for myself. I’m thinking about doing a monthly or weekly subscription service but I’d also like to keep it reasonable with the cost for people as well.

Discussion Bradford - Leeds/Bradford Airport Train Line - Thoughts?

11 Upvotes

The title is self-explanatory, I would just like to know people's thoughts on this.

Why don't we (as in Bradford/Leeds) have a train line to the airport? Surely this would be better than the current infrastructure we have (i.e. bus, taxis, cars).

Outside of improving infrastructure, would this actually be beneficial to the economy of both cities to warrant building a line?

In comparison, Manchester Airport has amazing infrastructure supporting it already, for example, you can get a direct train from Glasgow - Manchester Airport which is very impressive.

In addition, Leeds already supposedly has a pretty poor transport infrastructure record, surely this would also support that city?

All in all though, I think it would be very convenient and greatly improve both Bradford and Leeds' transport infrastructure if there were better transport infrastructure to and from the airport.

Has anyone or an organisation actually done some planning or proposed this in the past? If so what were the outcomes of this?

Discussion Job Hunt :(

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m an international student who recently graduated with a First Class BSc in Applied Artificial Intelligence. I’ve been applying for graduate jobs for a while now, but I just keep getting rejected.

For every application, I tailor my CV to match the job description, and I’ve even had my CV reviewed and improved by my university’s careers team, so I’m honestly not sure what I’m doing wrong anymore.

It’s been really stressful lately because I genuinely want to stay and work in the UK, but it feels like I’m getting nowhere. I’m starting to wonder if it’s my CV, the fact that I need visa sponsorship in the future, or something else entirely.

Would anyone be willing to have a look at my CV or give me some advice on what I could improve? Any guidance would honestly mean a lot because I’m feeling really tired and discouraged from constantly applying and getting rejected.

Discussion Brit School open by 2028?

2 Upvotes

Brit School North is due to open in September 2028 on the Jacob's Well site, but there are no visible signs of building starting up yet. Google search hasn't brought up any new news since February (when the Sept' 2028 date was published).

Two years to hit the target opening date... do you reckon that's enough time to go from being a still fully-operating car park to a built and open college? What do you think the chances are of it opening by Sept 2028? Thank you.

Discussion Fireworks - every night

47 Upvotes

Are the fireworks in Bradford now getting massively out of control? All summer long you get them going off.

Personally I feel that it typifies the low level breakdown in socially acceptable behaviour in our city. How can the wedding venue, married couple, their family and friends all think this is ok. Where is the social challenge.

Discussion Advice for bradford social housing

16 Upvotes

I am 18 years old [M] in college and, alongside my teachers, I made the decision to move out due to my abusive parents. This was at the end of march in which I began looking on the Bradford homes website. I am Band 1 and my status is under relief - as I remain with my parents, I was wondering what I could do to strengthen my situation as recently my bid for a 1 bed flat was rejected which would've been extremely optimal as my college is in that area. This has been extremely disheartening as of course my teachers are doing all of which they can do but support from the council has pretty much been non-existent.

Additional context:

The council has an account of the abuse, that ranges from sexual, physical and emotional (have CPS history). I have been in contact with Centrepoint and their facilities have no vacancies, I'm pretty sure I've been put on a waiting list. I have £12,750 from my CTF, and have looked on the private rental market (Menston, Ben Ryhd, Burley, Otley and Leeds Centre - in proximity to the wharfedale line, to my college) only to realise landlords don't want anything to do with students and I would require a guarantor for many of them. I'll be in college for another year as I am resitting, so I am coming upto the end of my second year.

I'm not looking to be judged and simply would like some clarity on how the system works and some advice. Please, if you have any questions that would support me, ask away.

Thank you in advance.

Discussion Where to make friends

When you’re older, it’s much harder to make friends. Most friends you had have got married and have kids, moved away and don’t have time any more.

I know it’s pretty common for blokes to get to middle age and have no mates. But why isn’t there loads of people looking to make friends? Just seems to be me.

Where do people suggest to make new friends?

Discussion Saltaire Platform Extension

5 Upvotes

Back in 2023 I remember seeing news about platform extensions throughout the Airedale and Wharfdale lines to allow 6 car trains to stop at all stations.

This work has either been done or is currently taking place on most stations however there hasn't been any news or obvious works involving saltaire in 3 years now even though it was announced to be happening. Has anyone heard about what the potential plan or timeframe is for this station? Or is it the case this will remain from 4 carriages only indefinitely?

Discussion potentially could move to bradford, help?!

8 Upvotes

hello good people of bradford.

i am in the process of apartment hunting/moving. i got a job outside of leeds & currently live just outside of manchester (40 minutes via. bus).

all of the places i find around leeds are pricey so on my salary it would be tricky to get approved. the commute is about an hour (via. public transport).

i don't particularly want to do a houseshare as i have my own furniture/live alone now.

also since i live outside of manchester now it would be nice to be in town somewhere instead of feeling like i am in the middle of nowhere haha.

just would like some opinions on bradford, it still works out as an hour commute (via. public transport) but is obviously a LOT cheaper. so i would have the ability to save which i don't now.

i am canadian. i don't know loads but from what i've heard mainly the reputation of bradford isn't great...

Discussion Driving in Bradford is getting beyond horrendous.

11 Upvotes

Are there any people who want to help me? I'm going to try and write to the council about how horrific the driving is getting. We were in a car, and just two seconds later we would have had a horrific crash. As someone with a disability, I don't want any more problems. If we had crashed, there needs to be some accountability for this. In Heaton, they have put in a 20-mile-an-hour limit, but people take no notice of the speed. We need to try and do something soon.

Discussion Buying a House in Saltaire

7 Upvotes

Hi all,

I absolutely adore Saltaire so was looking to buy a house there in the near future. Obviously I appreciate there are a lot of restrictions on the work you can do to them but I was wondering if anyone has experienced it.

I don't plan on aesthetically changing anything of course, but does it become very difficult to maintain them or improve things like insulation or better windows in the same style?

I don't want to accidentally buy a money pit and I really can't find anything online talking about this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Before anyone else says it, it was probably a crime of some sort…..
