And while these events don't have to be linked to our heritage, wouldn't it be much better if they were? opinion, you understand.

Of course . would be lovely if it were all connected to our Heritage .. no one is denying this .. but not what this thread is all about really.
Have you any idea how much technique is involved in becoming a modern dancer ... even a good Flash Mob dancer.

None of this is contrived, and it costs what the passer by is willing to give

Yes, but Manchester is a cash rich city, and they are not daft ... know any donations will be ample .. try persuading them to beg in Accrington.

Please do check the site before you make such sweeping remarks!

Again, please don't put any spin on by describing Gayle as 'my mate' ... we are friendly, yes, but not close friends, and would not defend any close friends anyway if I did not agree with them.
Yes, have looked at your post ... trying to make sense of it.

Secondary option, stop Transdev running the X41 to Manchester |
Interesting Dave .. more attractive .. what do you suggest then ?
Bookies .. well, is a fact that more people are gambling due to recession .. can't blame them for jumping on the band wagon, and HBC renting out one of their shops rather than empty.
