I'm gonna fire up the Quattro and ave oops

It looks like I'll be going to Manchester, UK later this year so I've dusted off the book I bought the last time I had plans to do so.


I will walk in Ian Curtis' footsteps, see where the Peterloo Massacre took place and the sites of the Industrial Revolution that inspired Marx & Engels; evensong at Manchester Cathedral and a full English breakfast. Tour Life on Mars filming locations. Will I find a Bakewell tart? A pub that predates Columbus? Have a run in with Manchester United fans?
