PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Growing up in Urnston i have been stopped many times by plastic rags asking for directions. Hope they saw the funny side that I sent them all the complete wrong way
Whenever i was asked in town i always sent them to get the bus to maine road and latterly the etihad on the basis they were looking for directions to the football stadium in Manchester.
 
Too right. Who can forget the classic episode where the rags bus ran out of petrol outside Windy's windmill and they asked him if he had any spare?

Thats like the Japanese tourist that ended up in London when he said " 'Arro, taxi driver" when he greeted a cabbie at Manchester Airport.
My eldest lad married a Japanese girl and her mother came over on a pre-wedding visit to “kick the tyres”. She spoke little English and had an electronic translation device. Conversation was difficult. I asked her what sights she’d managed to see and she replied she’d been to Paris. I waxed lyrical for a few minutes about the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame etc while she looked at me, clearly fucking baffled. When I finished she just looked at me, shaking her her head and said “No - Buckingham Paris”
100% true. We still laugh about it now. Like an episode of “Mind your Language”
 
I knew someone who worked at the University of Warwick which rather confusingly is situated on the border between Coventry and Kenilworth.

He was expecting a visitor who was travelling by train but who went to Warwick Station rather than Coventry. The station at Coventry was a short bus or taxi ride away from the University. Instead he was 10 miles away with few public transport options back then other than a train to Birmingham and one back to Coventry.
