I have always felt that this monstrosity has been the worst eyesore in Leeds ever since it was built. The best bit about it though IMHO was the time/temperature display which i have found useful over the years. Indeed, although that too is no longer working...

I also liked the time/temperature feature. As a reminder of that I took this photo on November 27 2012 when it was 11:56.

And this moments after on November 27 2012 when it was 7 degrees. I wonder when the feature was finally turned off?

I wonder what has happened to the GR blue post box? I took this photo on November 27 2012. Some of the publications named had I think already stopped being published.

I don't think it has been turned off, I think it just needs resetting (or switching off and on again) as part of the display is working on at least one of the four faces.

Someone has wound it up again at last!

Hoping not to sound like a stuck record (young SL viewers may need to google what a record is. ) but there is an editing error on page 4 of today's YEP (March 14). An interesting article about a faster cancer treatment procedure at St James's had a photo of a patient involved and 3 other people (presumably staff). The photo caption started with "KICKER KICKER" which was followed by gobbledegook text that would have been hard to type out correctly so I have not done so. I think I may stop noting these errors, as they are becoming common. As I've said before, I do not deliberately try to find the errors as they are obvious when reading YEP reports that have them.
