Advantages: Friendly efficient service Disadvantages: none
. However, I didn?t find them to have a very ethical approach towards their customers, after going over my overdraft limit by 72p, a mistake I quickly rectified. Despite my quick reaction to this measly but misfortunate mistake over 18 months I was hit witch charges month after month, totalling over £2000, which took me over 1 year and a solicitor?s letter to re-claim. Throughout those 18 months I was hit with bailiff?s letters, and also received a letter that came on blank paper, simply showing the words ?URGENT, Contact Ron on (for example) 07665243356. That was it. But it turned out to be The Co-op sneakily trying to get me to call them, as if I had previously avoided contacting them.

Advantages: Elegant writing, absorbing story Disadvantages: He's only written three books so far...
Giles Foden's first novel follows a young Scotsman, Nicholas Garrigan, as his aspirations in the early 70's to escape a predictable career in medicine lead him to apply for work abroad in the Medical Division of the British Civil Service.

Garrigan, made acutely aware of Amin's control and influence, and in some awe of the man, eventually agrees.

I write this as an incomer..I've only lived in Halifax for 23 years so I'm not quite a local yet!!!.
I love living in Yorkshire and where I live in particular is beautiful. 6 miles from Halifax, but I have a Halifax postcode and it's my nearest town, so I identify with it. I shop there, sometimes..but it hasn't got a lot of shops to choose from. Honestly, Huddersfield is a better place to shop.
WHAT DO I LIKE?
The Piece Hall..a big square stone building built on 3 floors, with tiny little shops all with a balcony running around the inside..where peices of cloth were brought to be sold. It's a fabulous building and well worth visiting. Market on Saturday.
The Dean Clough complex- (was a big carpet making factory...built in golden sandstone and has been cleaned up nicely) a theatre where good plays are presented. An art gallery ...
