SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

Looking at some of the topics and replies many of the regularsare older than me(approaching 63 from the wrong direction)Arry Awk,LS1 and Drapesy must be in the running,Phil-d etc are the new young blood.Is anyone brave enough to admit to being the oldest????????????come on don't be shy

Wasn't sure at first if you meant age, or history of posts since founding of the site. Not that I qualify for either, being 64. and only calling here since last June.'arry 'awk, God love him, is old enough to remember either war service or not long after, whereas I grew up expecting to have to do National Service, but it was scrapped before I was eligible. Don't know if that was a good thing or not!

Cheers mate - I'm only 26!!!!

I'm still undecided whether to take that as a compliment or insult!! Compliment defiantely. - I have respect for those older and wiser than me

52 here, but as I left Leeds at age 18 for Australia, I find the site amazing, the things you took for granted as a kid eh ?

I don't think Drapesy's that old, and "young" Phill is about 40!I'm a year off 50.

Blakey has been retired a while now from what he says and he worked to 65 also by his own admission (check out Buses threads).Bramley4Woods, who hasn't posted much recently is also one of our older posters.Some of the Ladies too although it would perhaps be indelicate to estimate their ages.
