    Correct,we were lucky that religion played no part in dividing the community there was enough rivalary twix Utd and City fans The Whit walks were brillant we all got dressed up and the city came to a standstill. Tib st,Oxford rd, Manchester circular library,free trade hall. The Shambles pub is still there having been stilted and moved twice, once for the building of Arndale centre and then again after the bombing. A Jerseyman and friend of mine was in there last week and couldn't believe the prices of beer £1.46p a pint for real ale and its a free house.

    I then went to work at Scottish Life House next to the Crown Court back of Deansgate and Kendalls, where the Home Office had 2 floors which we hoped were hidden from the IRA in the insurance building. Bestie had an interest in a barbers shop over the road and we used to say Hi to him as we passed on the way to the Waggon and Horses pub for lunch and a jar.. He drove a black Jensen Inferceptor in those days. I never dreamed of asking him for his autograph as we saw him so often.

    Ah the summer of 76 in Manchester....great times
