I wondered if it was only in this country that a transport company has a spotters fan club that reports sightings of its lorries as they go about their business on the highways and by-ways. A little searching on the web (it's a bank holiday that's my excuse!) finds a lorry spotting website with over 4,000 paying members (£25 a year) who try to report the make and number of as many lorries as possible; a somewhat eccentric pastime but harmless I feel sure. As for myself I'm no great Stobart fan I prefer a Norbert Dentressangle any day but better still that rara avis Prestons of Potto ...

Weekend Reflections are here.

Girt big pylon
Beside the bridge on Park Street this pylon serves to carry a couple of antennas to keep us in touch with the world and all its goings on.

Conversion
What to do with a no-longer wanted masonic hall? Turn it into a Hindu temple and cultural centre seems like as good an idea as any. The temple opened four years ago and is, so I've read, the only one "east of Leeds". The remarkably symmetrical facade has been left unaltered save for covering up a freemason sign with the sign you see above. The building is on Park Street, off Anlaby Road.
