The man is a health hazard!


Very nice David
I had to go back, and look Jeff, I hadn't noticed before! You are right. I was talking to Nobber Al, when I saw 3 traditionally-dressed Romanian women, with long, brightly-coloured, striped skirts. There were two women in their forties, I'd guess, and a teenager, who I guess was the daughter of one of them. I thought I'd take a photo of them, but by the time I pulled my camera out, as they were walking pretty briskly, they were a distance away, with one woman having moved away from the other two to look at a perfume stall, so I'm afraid that's all I could get. I wish I could set up a hide of some sort, because the wildlife in Leeds market takes some beating!
Nobber Al can be seen photo-bombing the pic below!
The old guy was carrying a large basket of what looked to be fake roses, but he wasn't trying to sell them, not in the market at least. I was standing next to one of the wooden boards, which are fixed onto the steel frames that make up the market stalls each morning. He pointed at the wooden board, and let out a loud maniacal laugh, as if it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen, then continued on his way
Brian is one of our oldest regulars, though we don't see him every week. He's very dapper, and is dressed differently every time he comes down, but he often wears a bowler hat. He's had quite an interesting life, and drove steam trains as a young man, but his favourite job was being a bin-man (a garbage collector), because he says he worked with a great set of blokes. His best pal, who was one of those blokes, died about 20 years ago, and left Brian his house. As a result, Brian, the Bradford bin-man, and his missus, travelled on the Trans-Siberian Express
