Just heard a comment on telly news that he lived in Harrogate . He had only just moved to Harrogate from Pudsey in very recent weeks . How do I know this as a fact ? My gaffer bought his house from him and he is just in the process of moving in . I have some of Sid's old garden furniture , and his bed , in my back garden . Got them for a bonfire I'm having this weekend .
