Quote: marshman "I agree. If only so i could climb those floodlights again and play in t'pit yard. lol. The houses are aweful imo, someone with silly ideas again designing stuff that shouldn't be there. Plus they go and call it Beeston street/lane when no one has ever had any ties with Leeds at all. Seems like they only want to turn Allerton into a refuge for folk from Leeds, i hardly know anyone in the village any more.'"
I think I heard somewhere that the street names are mining-related and that one's like Beeston/Middleton are named after seams?
Re your chicken story, you've never struck me as being a budding psychopath but then again anti-social and potentially homicidal behaviour would not be recognised as abnormal by most of us Allertoners.....especially when directed at migrant loiners.
