A trip down memory lane around Manchester....

[crazyg]

What about the flyby from the police helicopter most evenings? Does that not count?

See it most nights flying around Brinny, less than a mile away from where I live. I don't even look out of the window now.
If the Antonov 225 came in - I'd be at the airport, just like last time. It makes the A380 (aka Big Bugger) look tiny.

I went to Bishop Bilsborrow, up until my second last year in primary school, when we moved to Longsight and I ended up at St Robert's on Hamilton Road. Can't remember anything of my time at BB, only that (I think) a Mrs Quayle was headmistress there at that time (early 1970s). I lived on Claremont Road, near the junction with Broadfield Rd.

Only the very, very best people went to St Roberts in Longsight, pal

Only the very best went to both Bilsborrow and Greg's.

Goes without saying.



Glad you said it, though!
