    good news, remember seeing it quite a few times when i was at uni in Leeds.

    Question is now will they stop there (as they seem to have done in the past) or will they carry on to other engines?

    Another question, if this grant and the council paid out for jack, why would it not pay out for Barber which had the bottom end virtually complete when i last saw it at armley before the move to South Tynedale?
