A police officer on patrol in the area then saw a blue Toyota Yaris parked near the field. Inside the vehicle was a large cucumber, baby oil and a bag of carrots.Then a black rucksack found in the field was found to contain apples and carrots, biscuits, rope and silver tape.

Pony fiddler kit LOL made me chuckle when I read that bit. The guy must have been doing it regularly to go prepared with that lot. Crazy. Then a black rucksack found in the field was found to contain apples and carrots, biscuits, rope and silver tape.

There's a lot to digest in that story and it's good to see the T&A still seem to have decent journalists in a world of "Reach Media" content, "reconnoitring" isn't something you read every day, especially in connection to a supposed owl watcher who has a bag with tape, rope, carrots and a cucumber in it. I drove through twice at the weekend, it seemed a lot less packed with maniacs than usual but it was quite early in the day, that said when I took my daughter to the museum there a few months ago and then had the daft idea of having a wander around the shops (we always used to go there rather than Leeds when I was a kid) it was really eye-opening, drunks everywhere, gangs of kids fighting, just lots of general scum scurrying around, the only safe feeling place was the new shopping centre.

Currently working in Bradford city centre and you see some sights... Just this lunchtime I went to Gregg's at the Kirkgate Centre, where a "lady" with a pale complexion was being chased by security guards whilst waving a syringe around and screaming "I'LL STAB YOU WITH IT!!!". Lovely.
Wasn't thrilled that she passed me on the escalator, I'll be honest

There was a chap stealing and eating swans not so long but there aren't many deer like that running around the roads in the Bradford area, I've only really ever seen them "in the wild" in Harewood but they are securely in the grounds. Maybe road kill being repurposed but grim either way.

There’s a surprising amount of deer in Bradford because it’s so rural. Vast forests, moors and so on. Clearly not in girlington of course.
I’ve had to stop my car on a number of occasions as deer in the road have been locking my way or running across the road.
We had one in our office car park off Rooley Lane a couple of weeks ago. I’ve had to stop my car on a number of occasions as deer in the road have been locking my way or running across the road.

Our current house has a stream and we get a variety of wildlife, no deer though.
The Pea Hen startles me occasionally when it decides to wander from its home on my neighbours garage.
As people state Bradfords a huge postal zone and includes a variety of areas.

Have they finished those road works at Greengates yet? For years every time I have to go to Leeds/Bradford airport I get stuck in them. It's depressing enough having to drive around the ring road from the M606 without then getting stuck.
Yes completely finished now, although it over run by months, I've not driven past in rush hour but at other time the traffic moves a lot better.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
