Leeds Restaurant Guide launches

Monday, August 19th, 2013 | Food, News

Today, I’m proud to announce the launch of the Leeds Restaurant Guide. It is, in our opinion, the finest guide to restaurants in Leeds city centre that has ever been created. Years of relentless eating, reviewing and indexing have come together to provide a complete guide to where to eat in Leeds.

  • 188 restaurants and food pubs reviewed
  • Covers every restaurant we could find in Leeds city centre
  • Five star rating system
  • Unbiased, independent, consistent

The book will be made available in e-book format through all major retailers – Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Ingram, Kobo, Google Play, OverDrive (Waterstones), Sony, WH Smith and Gardner’s (Tesco). It is also available online at LeedsRestaurantGuide.com. At a later date, it will be made available in print also.

It will be priced at a very reasonable £3.99. The exact time listings will appear on each retailer can’t be determined, so follow me on Twitter for updates.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped with the book, especially Elina for her eating and proof reading, Gijsbert for his feedback and advice, and James, Norm and Michelle for their proof reading.

For better, or for worse, she will never be forgotten. Still Britain’s only female prime minister, and the most successful prime minster of the twentieth century.

Authority Forums relaunch

Wednesday, July 18th, 2012 | Limited, News

Authority Forums

I’m pleased to announce the relaunch of Authority Forums.

Founded in 2005, AF tracks the biggest message boards and forums on a particular topic. So, for example, if you wanted to find out what the biggest Futurama fan forum on the internet was, you would browse to Futurama where you can see each forum ranked according to size, with graphs and historical stats available too.

Over the past month the site has been re-built from the ground up to be faster and easier to use, the design has been overhauled so that it looks much pretty and all the content has been updated too – as you can imagine, over seven years a lot of forums close down and new ones open, so we’ve taken care of all of that.
