Professor Fiddlesticks fools around in the park.
Last Sunday I was in Middleton Park to review Professor Fiddlesticks‘ Circus Skills. This is the fourth time that ‘the Prof’ has entertained our community in Middleton.

Who? What? Where? – about Leeds, West Yorkshire
I will own up and admit that I know nothing – nothing at all. I can even go a step further and acknowledge the fact that this lack of knowledge is due to total ignorance, or pure lack of interest. In all fairness, people have personal likes and dislikes. However, although I have only [...]

The traditional corner shop that I remember as a lad was opened from 10am – 4pm, Monday to Saturday; it closed for lunch from 12-1pm and also closed half day every Wednesday. But the shop did not open on Sundays – mind you nothing opened on a Sunday if I remember right. All the [...]

Here is a good one. What exactly is “local”? Um – I will use the simplest dictionary definition that I could come across. “Local” implies pertaining to, characteristic of, or restricted to a particular place or particular places.
