First off congratulations on your 1000th post. Your one of my most favourite posters so here’s to the next 1000

Cheers . I never noticed the counter going up .

I used to take the kids to that place to get bags of sawdust and wood shavings for their rabbits .

Talking of dogs . I realy should go get ready and take mine for a walk . Down to the canal at Rodley today I think , or Golden Acre Park . May as well give him a good long walk while I am sulking about missing the Wakey game .

Let us know if you see any crazy people around they if you choose to go.

You know Farsley quite a bit. Remember a women who went by the name of Dippy Doreen?

She always wore green and OMG that dog LOL.

We used to hang outside her gate in the summertime waiting for her next outburse on her surroundings. She did make our life fulfilled.

The streets never been the same without her. She used to live in Rodley by the canal as well!

I remember him ... he used to hang around the side of the Corn Exchange on Saturdays.
He'd fix you with his gaze from 10 yards away, a light would come on in his eyes as though he recognised you and he'd walk straight up to you and ask "'Ow do, I wonder if you could help us out with the price of a cup of tea?".

I lived in the Calls back then and used to see him a lot ... he could certainly work a crowd that fella.

There's many regulars with many types of fringes, I've seen afew that are extremly long. But the rest of their hair is long so I may not have seen the dude you iz talkin bout.

I used to see this bloke pushing a wheelie bin down Kirkstall Road a few times, not seem him for ages though.

He's on strike!!

Tall and thin , had dark hair and glasses ? ..That would be John .

Was talking about this at work today , and was reminded of one called David that hung around Pudsey . As a kid it was great fun to ask him the time . He would throw his arm about like he was trying to shake a tiger off it , then look at his wrist . Never wore a watch though .

That would be John...I was just saying to the daughter last week ...havent seen him in ages.

Did he look a bit like Mr Granger from 'Are You Being Served' ?

Yep, that's the fella.

The bearded one is right too - he'd stare straight at you so it was a real effort not to make eye contact.

Wonder what ever happend to him ?



There also used to be a bloke that used to be in the centre of Leeds in the late 80s, who looked a bit like Pte.Walker in Dad's Army (see above), with a thick scottish accent .... Clearly the bloke had issues, he used to be alwasy going about everything being burned.

East Leeds has the legend that is "Bod" he has his own facebook fan page and everything.
