I only know Leicester from seeing the Pet Shop Boys play there on the Uni Tour. It looked quite good. It has the Shire shopping centre....
Actually, come to think of it, I have been there before. It is coming back to me now. I once passed out in the toliets of the 'Asylum' Nightclub at Leicester University's Students' Union. I also once danced all night at the Dielectric Club when rave was fashionable. And I saw Erasure in concert there with Your Funny Uncle and a couple of other Pet Shop Boys fans back in 1996. So all in all, I have always found Leicester a fun place to be.

Bedford's just up the road from me - nothing to write home about from what I can remember.

Bedford is an utter shithole. I used to live 20 mins away from there.
Leicester is marginally better. You can probably get a good curry there. Best ask TechnoTurban as he lives there.

Well, I do know that Technical Turbo Trance is ALWAYS saying that he is having a Chinaman for supper...... I guess he means a Chinese Food Take-away.!!! ( What ever happened to The Champion in Notting Hill? --- that was a well known Chinese takeaway!
)
