I've got a work placement there tomorrow. I know vaguely where it is i'm going, I'm just about getting lost because I don't know that area of Leeds well!

Thanks JJ. Have one on me for all your excellent posts last season. Historical note... yeadon was a former RAF base from 1936, after war became Leeds/Bradford airport and new runway was built in 1965. Shortly after the terminal was destroyed by a big fire, rebuilt and reopened in 1968 .flights first started to go to Spain some time after. Technically I was wrong (yet again) but I do remember the runway being built and the new terminal opening. Hope this ain't bored you!

Did you have a good time Jen? Yeah it was great! I got there this morning (after walking around for a bit trying to find it!) and everyone is really nice. In the morning I was just doing all the shitty jobs that nobody else wanted to do - like putting photos in frames and albums and stuff. But in the afternoon I got sent out ona job with one of the photographers! It was at a place in Leeds ("The Light" for the people on here in Leeds), and was this really posh event with the Lord Mayor and the Chief Constable of the West Yorkshire Police! He let me take some shots too yay!

You never know, play your cards right and you might get an offer when your through with Uni
