The Leeds boundary at Rodley used to cause fun and games on a Friday and Saturday night as the licensing laws were different in Leeds and Pudsey so the Barge had last orders at 1030 and the owl had last orders at 1100.. hence the trail over the road at 25 past 10 to get the other half hour drinking.. but the landlord of the Owl did not take too kindly to you going in after 1030 so you had to be in before then....

After all most formal climate records are less than 200 years old. Just a thought.
