About a year ago, all the man-hole covers and grids on the lower section of Armley Road (near The Albion) were nicked. Apart from the cost and inconvenience of replacing them, it's bloody dangerous. Some of the new ones are bolted down.Steve, you should have got this bloke to walk around an area with the man-hole covers removed while blindfolded. Maybe he will then end up where he belongs - in the sh.......sewer!!! I bet that was old Charlie flint.. Only kidding!

As to competant, it was the council fitting it???????? Thats why it came back they must have found out it was a council boiler. ya cant beat an old boiler.

Just read in my local paper that last weekends remembrance services were almost cancelled at Guiseley church as the lead had been stripped from the roof a couple of nights previously.The evening service went ahead with water pouring down the columns and now faces a hefty repair bill. We still have stocks in Guiseley maybe the theiving pikeys should be put in them!
