there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.

There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

I think it's a pub that is very close to the brewery so it's called a tap. As in this case it's only a few hundred yards away
Is it me or has Leeds gone mad

Its not busy but surviving just I reckon. Karaoke and other theme nights helping it attracting punters. Otherwise not much going for it.

As far as I know - will check soon - the school dinner building is still there, behind the Merry Monk. When I lived in Grayson Heights (multi - storey) in Eden Mount the building was in daily use as some kind of creche/nursery.
