Anyone remember the black fella that used to walk around chapeltown road stripped to the waist in the middle of winter. He was a big bugger so wouldn't imagine many people would have been calling him a poseur or questioning his mental state.

Wasn't one of the Jeffers family was it?



When I used to work at the Jobcentre at the bottom of Eastgate there were a few members of the same family used to come in, a couple of whom were the odd penny or two short of the proverbial shilling and had a reputation for being "eccentric".

Anyone from the Chapel Allerton area remember the "dentist"?



He was an oldish guy with a big bushy multicoloured beard and who wore sunglasses and a big anorak all the time. I was told he was a dentist prior to some sort of breakdown, and he still sat in a dentist's chair in his house. He lived, I think, on Allerton Hill.



I haven't lived in Leeds for over 25 years now, but remember that he scared me when I was very young

Sorry to "necropost" but it's going round facebook that fat les has died, liver failure apprently, not sure how true this is, but already a "RIP fat les" group
