Would that be the joiner's shop on Whitecote Hill at the traffic lights ?
The same one where young ladies used to hang around and rent themselves out ? They were proper dogs



You mean a particular one of the 'ladies' Damo ?

I can't remember ever noticing a dog sitting around the lights .

BTW . The 'ladies' were moved on by the police some years ago .

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



I suppose people hanging around Bramley selling themselves was the norm all over. Not that I ever saw such thinks mind you but when you think of Bramley you think of…

I’ve just been on google maps and OMG the dog is there on its step. Always was they back in the day. Not seen it in a while mind you!

Remember him well had a few unusual calls..

Ev`nin Post..Holy Ghost..Beans on Toast.. etc etc

Tony the Bouncer in the Picadilly Bar with the gammy eye...but dont say it to his face.

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.

Congratulations on not reading the thread

Welcome to about 3 days ago

Anyone remember the YEP seller that hung about on Commercial Street telling everyone that he was having a terrible day?

He reminds of a fat old bloke who used to hang around town street in Horsforth who we nicknamed "busby" because that's what he did all the fooking time bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Terry Fkwitt , one of the LS28 legends used to role-play in the local pubs occasionally . We would buy his beers to keep him entertaining us . I remember him once telling us about his time as a bin-man . He sat on a stool and pretended to drive the bin wagon . He kept getting up and running to other stools , bringing them back , abnd 'emptying' them in the back of the wagon .

Another time he was telling us about his life as a sky-diver .
Comedy gold seeing him stand on a table and dive face-first onto the floor .

Damo . You might know of him . He is now around 50 yrs old . 5'10" ish , dark hair , and lots of boils on his face and neck .

Personally the only characters I’m aware of on this thread are Eric and that bloke who sells the big issue outside the sports café these days. This terry sound like quite a bloke though.
