I always thought the Lions changed at midnight too and faced different ways.Either way, they will always protect the Leeds Loiners and show our pride!

Three plants as I remember Regi - but I'm not sure about the bones in the Roller - I was a passenger in that several times but never smelt cow! A Gentleman who never forgot people.

I think he's referring to what was known as a kite hawk [or rather, they used the rhyming sh...hawk] which me dad told me used to pinch soldiers' rations from their mess tins in the Middle East during the war.

Quote: 11. You think Harry Ramsdens is expensive and a rip off and that Seafarer, Skyliner, Brians, Mermaid, Wetherby Whaler or Coes are much better Is Skyliner still even there? I remember it being nice in the 70s, but the last time i was up there, i think 1996, Seacroft Centre was like a bombsite and when i went in Skyliner i had to shout for someone to come out of the back to serve me, then these two girls came out wearing an inordinate amount of make-up, and one of them with a big blog of lard (i think) in her hair that she didn;t seem to realise was there.

Long gone as indeed is the old Centre, replaced by new with two unfortunate points -1. They didn't use a bomb2. It's more realistic to call it 'Tesco's' with a few large name retailers, gone are the small independents which used to provide for the community. (Actually three -the developer managed to walk away from his undertaking to bring the old Grange back into use - a loop-hole and weakness in the contract with the Council and of course moral obligation played no part in the matter, the Grange being left by it's public owners to deteriorate almost to ruin!).

Well a Red Kite is indeed a bird,which have been reintroduced to the area and are breeding successfully,hence my wondering if he was referring to this.Took some pics last weekend of a couplehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/7616211@N08/35604 ... 560409809/
