An iconic Manchester pub, knocked down accidentally in the 80s.

The word was it wasnt 'accidently'. The brewery (Whitbreads?) wanted it down but the council had it as a listed building so were against it or something. So it was knocked down during the night 'accidentally'.
p.s. used to drink in Tommys before it became famous for knickers, in the fact that it was a favourite watering hole for all the acts who appeared at the Palace theatre and the like. Many photos adorned the walls of the acts who drank there. Bit like the Press club now i suppose.

Pretty sure Tommy Ducks was a Greenall Whitley pub

Amazing how you can watch something from over 20 years ago and it all comes flooding back.

Truly awful beer though. Absolutely shocking.

Motown is where I am from. Detroit, Michigan.

Motown also means Motown Music, which I love. You know, kind of the inspiration for Northern Soul. I consider it a spiritual tie to the city of Manchester. And last time I checked, there was only one football team playing IN the city of Manchester.

CTID!


tell me to fuck of if you like but wouldnt motor city been a good user name ,

i`ve got lots of old motown record, but they were new when i bought them. it was great music in its day.

Yes, MotorCityBlue would have been good as well. Just for cross-Atlantic clarity, we refer to Detroit as Motown and The Motor City. Sometimes we just call it "The D".

Also, I would never tell you or anyone here to fuck off. Not my style.

IS IT SATURDAY YET????????????
 
my username is the one I've used for all my online accounts. It's a bit of word play and means lady (mac) killer (manson). Something I started using in my late teens and have kept using it since and it's usually a unique name on most sites. :)
