Where I stayed
We landed at Manchester to rediscover the concept of trains that run on time, customer service and genuinely friendly people.
Of course we had to visit the industrial museum, who could resist seeing a whole building full of steam engines and generators? plus working lego models. Bevan was playing spot-the-gargoyle on buildings, which entailed stopping every few minutes... there are a lot of them.
We saw the Mancunians in their natural habitat, an enormous shopping mall. And of course, it wouldn't be a holiday in England without a pint of ale in an English pub.
