I'm going to be able to do some great Then and Now with all these photos in the Manchester Library archive. Here's the Rochdale Canal near Gay Aldi, 1972 and now.

I did one of those Manual testosterone tests “just to see”, obviously it came back saying “low”, but ever the skeptic I’ve just asked Chatty CathyGPT what she thinks.

And there we have it, the final goodbye! 40 years of entertainment, 40 years of joy, 40 years of a daily escapism filled with love, laughter and tears. What a sad day. Again.

Been back in Manchester 4 weeks now - managed to find a photo of my exact address in the 1960s. The area has improved somewhat since then.

Nearly 50% of Great Britain's electricity coming from wind, pretty amazing. Can we now de-couple the price of the leccy from gas please.

Wondered what all the clattering and battering I could hear was, thought perhaps downstairs was making a racket, and then suddenly an abseiling window cleaner descended in front of me in the kitchen. ARGH!

I feel like increasing the value of the National Living Wage is a very blunt way of addressing the cost of living. At this stage it has to be inflationary, and we'll all be paying £5 for a Costa coffee soon just because rents are being hiked.
