He's got weed on the brain! Here comes Bibendum aka Bib the Michelin man, Bibelobis, or simply the Michelin man!This chubby chap was first introduced in 1894. Bibendum is one of the world's oldest trademarks so I believe. So where in Leeds can you find him?

Ha ha, I see some people have been busy doing some research for Bibendum on my photo stream. He's had 10 views in the last 10 mins. There was a clue on there I've since deleted sorry

Is the Michelin Man showing the resulting spare tyres formed as a result of lack of activity and/or overeating or just from sitting too much at home at a computer looking all over Google Street views in the off chance of spotting where a 'What & Where?' is?
