Si wrote: Anyone remember the Leeds roofer "Titus Aduxas?" Is he still in business? He got a mention on Esther Rantzens show "That's life".The series finished in 1994. I haven't seen his van for at least that long, I think he might have checked in his dinner plate.

A good few years back there was a chap called Lol who frequented the pubs and clubs around Yeadon/Guiseley and became a bit of a legend for all the wrong reasons.Always reasonably smart and quite well spoken but got paralytic on a regular basis.Unfortunately the beer had a very laxative effect on him and he could clear a pub in minutes as a result he was ushered off the premises pronto.He was eventually banned permanently from every pub in the locality except for one club in Guiseley.Due to another trouser accident after falling into the freezer head first while reaching for a frozen chicken,he was banned from Morrisons too as they had to bin the contents of the freezer. He was found by police on one of the coldest nights on record with his nose frozen to a lamppost and his trousers steaming in the frosty air,he survived the hypothermia and was back on the sauce again in no time with a big plaster on his nose. I think the drink got him in the end as he passed on a few years ago,RIP Lol.
