So wiggy, I get the feeling you don't like people who wear baseball caps or estate agents, (with or without caps), so would I be right in thinking you would like them even less, if they lived in flats?

I had absolutely know idea that there were tunnels under the station. That is really interesting. Do you think that the tunnels are all over leeds?I work in the basement on a building in the town centre and out of the window you can see the beginning of what looks like a network of very small tunnels - no idea what they are or if they lead anywhere?I wondered if it was a storage for coal in the victorian days or if it was the beginning of something?Anyone know?Cheryl
