I was drinking in the scabby taps that day and went to see what the fuss was about. I'm 41 years old this year and I'm not sorry to tell you that there still is something that really riled me when I saw a load of cockneys being given the stage in a Leeds city centre pub (they effective closed the pub and made it Millwall only) to hang out of windows and abuse the locals. It wasn't the best decsion the police have ever made.
