Just a slightly different angle here, and I can't for the life of me put a date to this, but when it was proposed to cease allowing traffic to travel east in front of the Queen's Hotel and to institute a one way circular system round The Square Leeds City Transport did an evaluation of the annual extra diesel costs caused by this. It might seem an utter triviality but the figure, which again I can't trace just now, was quite amazing - and of course the scheme went ahead.
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.
