Now that can't be too bad. Lovely for your Ma - no idea whether it will be an extended food hall or small clothes store. At least it cannot be more than two stories high so as to be in keeping with the surrounding area.<BR/><BR/>See my mail to you re. the lemurs of Leeds :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26620995.post-48162489232775574912008-06-29T20:57:00.000-10:002008-06-29T20:57:00.000-10:00That's a fascinating rant on Starbuck's - I have n...That's a fascinating rant on Starbuck's - I have never, ever been in one and all the locals can moan about is the problem with parking it is going to present. We already have trouble with car parking on Street Lane so this is really going to add to the difficulty. For your memory bank this Starbuck's is in the ground floor of the very expensive emporium that is Brill's mens' clothiers which has now moved upstairs! <BR/><BR/>My God woman, if I'd known you were going to use my snaps of my perambulations I would have taken more care - I thought they were for your eyes only. Perhaps I shall become the Daisy Bailey of Roundhay? I did ask your brother why my pictures didn't come out as well as the two of you and his reply was "cos ours are worth ten times more than yours" AND he bought it for me!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Mater xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
