Time we looked '˜underground' for a solution to Leeds' traffic woes

Mind the gap: Should Leeds look at building an underground system to solve its traffic problems?

The thought did cross my mind that, instead of using lots of different words to fill up this column this week, I could take the novel approach of using just one. Said word would be repeated over and over and over'¦ and over.

Why we must ‘get tougher’ on those who attack our emergency service workers

It would, therefore, go something like this:-

Underground, underground, underground, underground, underground, underground, underground, underground, underground, underground, underground.

Leeds busses travelling along the Headrow in Leeds City Centre.

You get the idea.

This, then, would result in some sort of literary/artistic protest-cum-call to arms in my ongoing/occasional crusade for the creation of an underground in Leeds.

However, I then considered that the editor of the Yorkshire Evening Post might take issue with me using that much artistic licence.

In the streets, people would say, ‘Ooo, did you see that Neil Hudson, he wrote a column using just one word.’ ‘Yeah, I saw it. Tut. How can you write a column wi’ just one word?’ ‘What word wa’ it?’ ‘Can’t remember.’

Also, I don’t think it’s ever been done before. Still, I’ve blown my chances now but the idea was good and well-intentioned.
