CEREAL

Now we all know cereal is the foodstuff of heroes and champions. That is a stone cold fact.
So, imagine the excitement that would be generated if Tesco’s (other behemoth supermarkets are available) brought out a NEW flavour of mini wheats….AND THAT FLAVOUR WAS RED CHERRY???

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!! Excitement x taste = CEREAL ENTHUSIAST EXPLOSION!!!

But….hold on.
On the very same visit, what if you discovered….and I need you all to stay calm here…. Crunchy Nut Cornflakes….(that’s not it)….had brought out limited edition new flavours….(deep breaths)…..INCLUDING YOGHURT, CRANBERRY AND ALMOND FLAVOUR???

**thump***

Knowles hits floor.

Cereals remain unsullied.

The South Leeds Youth Hub Open Event

Leave a reply

On Tuesday 12th February Leeds City College held an Open Event at The South Leeds Youth Hub, Middleton Road, Belle Isle.

The College, in partnership with Leeds City Council, has introduced a diverse range of courses to appeal to people of all ages and interests, from music production, filmmaking and street dance, to pre-apprenticeship programmes, money matters and martial art to employability, maths and English.

The event went well with 38 attendees – a mix of young people, adults and those who work with young people. There were tours of the facilities including the hair & beauty salons and music studio and the pancakes – cooked by Leeds City College hospitality students – went down very well – especially the ones with hot chocolate sauce on!

Councillor Kim Groves (Labour Middleton Park) attended and was very pleased with the attendance and the interest in the Centre and courses on offer.
