That's quite right Geordie and many hundreds in the Cookridge and Tinshill vicinities took advantage of the offer - they could also have their houses double glazed at the same time. Sorry about that Geordie, just a bit of mischief, no harm intended. Seriously, yes, that offer was made and accepted widely. I asked for that.Yes, I think there was some furore concerning a: the cost of said project to the ratepayers of Leeds, and b: neighbours just outside the catchment area who had to look on enviously as people down the other end of the street got their spanking new windows.

A "workmate" of mine - an awkward little cuss who just loved trouble and arguments - really strung them along for months and declined every size, shape and colour of windows - and finally threw the Teddy out of his pram, refused the offer, and moved house to a property which had already been done - anything to be awkward !!

Announced in the travel news on Radio Leeds tonight that a flight from Sharm El-Sheik is delayed until 00:35 (twenty five to one tomorrow morning), so that will definitely be one late landing tonight.
