Today we walked round Leeds carrying out tasks, discovering stories and creating our own. In our group we posed with statues, put on a bet at a bookies, ate hotdogs, fed pigeons, went to a toy shop and bought some food we had never tried before form the oriental supermarket to name a few.
We went to Harvey Nichols and got some funny looks form some rich folk while looking at some extremely horrible incredibly expensive shoes. Even though the customers gave us some funny looks the sales assistant was very nice and really helpful even though she knew we weren't going to buy anything.
We posed with statues and window displays around Leeds (some stranger than others) and tried to match the poses, I tried to capture the essence of the owls at the Civic hall, I don't think it went well.
We went to see my boss and bought him a coffee, his immediate response was to shout abuse at me with lots of swearing. he did then share with us a story about 2 soldiers that were killed in a house somewhere near the corn exchange a long time ago. supposedly there are 2 stone skulls set into a wall in one of the buildings to commemorate their deaths. This might all be made though as my boss has just spent 3 days in Amsterdam.
This was the food we bought form the oriental supermarket, some of it was very nice especially the hot and spicy prawn crackers but the drinks were really really bad.
The highlight of the day was being asked for ID in the bookies for the first time in years. It was nice until he looked at my drivers license and seemed confused, I don't think he was aware that dates go back that far.
