The ASBO was invented in (North) Manchester.
The Arndale Centre has a Dale Winton museum.
The United Nations Security Council holds its meetings in the back room of the Crown & Kettle on Great Ancoats Street.
There is a large pool of vomit outside Oxford Road station.
Deansgate is named in honour of referee Mike Dean.
Liverpool Street does not actually go to Liverpool.
Mussolini stayed at Mal Maison,but did not take breakfast.
The Guinness in the Town Hall Tavern is far too expensive.


I have a story involving the Mal Maison, A £25 full English breakfast and frozen dog shit.

I'm saving it for a rainy day.
Saving what? The story, the breakfast or the frozen dog-shit?
 
Contrary to the myth that "it's always raining in Manchester", Manchester does in fact have it's own microclimate and is surprisingly dry and warm.
You’re able to grow plants that wouldn’t survive anywhere else in the country due to this meteorological anomaly.
This is why many of the countries top cannabis producers have set up in the old mills.

If they've set up in mills it's because of the availability of large cheap spaces to rent. The rain doesn't really matter when you have a roof.
In fact I'm sure I've heard somewhere that the reason there are so many cotton mills in the north is because the climate is so damp that the cotton is less likely to snap when it's being spun.
 
Ernest Walton and John Cockroft (1932) were the first to split the nucleus in a completely controlled maner. This was under the direction of Rutherford (see below) who, whilst at the Cavendish laboratory, Cambridge had done so but not by entirely artificial means. In doing so Walton and Cockroft were also the first to verify Einstein's law: E = mc²

Many thanks. Will you issuing an apology in writing or verbally?

Neither,because your source is wrong.
As any brief check on the internet will confirm.

You are very, very wrong on this one:

Rutherford reported the work in 1919 after taking up his post back at Cavendish, he actually split it in Manchester in 1917.

In which case,my most sincere apologies to BB2.
Who will undoubtedly apologise for getting "facts" 7 & 8 wrong in due course.

There are few things in life that brings me more joy than seeing you given another verbal kicking. kudos for apologising though, accepted, but do be more careful in future.
