Autumn Leaves

This may be going back a long way, but I seem to remember a singer called Mel Torme who looked as though he'd been moulded in a plastics factory, and who sang "Autumn Leaves". He also trotted out all sorts of opinions about how anyone with long hair was despicable, and how we should all go around in jackets and short hair. This, people, was in the Sixties, when Hedgehog was but a slip of a lad, and thought that such ideas were spot on.

Now, when I look out this Autumn, there's something strange going on: It's the 10th of October, the leaves are still on the trees, and not many of them have changed colour yet. This is weird for Leeds at this time of year, and makes me wonder whether global warming is really showing its true colours now. What do Hedgehog's millions of readers out there think? Have they noticed anything similar? Would they like to tell us about it?
