Manchester seems to be the only thing on the radio News this morning.

A town hitherto best known for Lacrosse sticks, thrown into the limelight ...

... by a lazy, philandering football player.

I dread to think! Haha, you're not named after the local studenty drinking establishment here are you? :)

Exactly Jayne, good and bad everywhere and each to their own.

Not been down Brighton way for a long while, had a memorable day there collecting for charity. I got changed into my attention grabbing (it was for charity!) outfit in Marks and Sparks then had to leg it out quickly...well, figured I should given what I was wearing though seemed to fit in quite well in Brighton :) Had one lovely lady put a £20 note in my collecting tin, definitely a record for me :)

They took the name from one of my favourite books

After football Manchester is also remembered for Vimto.

[Prudentia]

so jabez, are you trying to tell us that it cannot get any worse??? On its past history we are absolutely confident it will.

[joggerjayne]

We're a big-hearted bunch here, Jan.

Oooh, Vimto ... made with boiling water, on the side of the sports field, in the winter.

Yummo !!

I didn't know it was from Manchester.

[joggerjayne]

Why is Manchester "remembered" for Vimto ?

Has Manchester gone now ??

LOL

[MrJabezClegg]

Prudentia they will not send the mlitia in to cut down our wives and children anymore as we all carry digital cameras.

joggerjayne the person who invented Vimto lived just outside Manchester in Cheshire (think it was timporley or tarporley , spelling ) Vimto was made in Manchester very near Piccadilly
