Who is that being quoted on the bbc website on the fires? More fame for Mr. Yorkie Soul. Always in the right place at the right time.

Fecks sake. After more threats of libel action, I've now removed all mention of CCTV and any other related issue. Mostly to stop the hassle to my beloved hoster.

The full story of Jimi Hendrix's one and only appearance in Ilkley is told over on Fraser's new blog. And an excellent piece of research it is too. Wonder if Smokie's annual appearance will; be treated with such reverence in 35 years time?

I forgot my manners... Chatiry mentioned this site, and I haven't returned the favour. Apologies. As librarians go, chatiry is most unintimidating. She also likes books, which, IME is very rare amongst her profession. She also likes ranting...something that you'd never see done on this site. Oh no, not never... (and she could give me some lessons in using typepad, I have NO idea how to find out what search terms people are using to get to this site, or how to put on records, books and other such entertainment...ho hum...)
