Where geeks fear to tread

Ebuyer.com, which presumably isn’t looking for new customers in South Yorkshire, has declared Bradford to be the UK’s least geeky city. This is obviously a blot on Bradford’s image as Yorkshire’s own Silicon Tenement, an entirely fictitious name that we just made up.

Residents will be glad to know that it earned the accolade based on the qualifications of the working population, tech job opportunities and other unreliable statistics, which can be added together to make a quick press release for the local papers.

Meanwhile Cambridge, Gloucester and Brighton came top of this geek league. Maybe they could be twinned (tripleted?) with each other, which would be helpful for the rest of us.
