Manchester

Manchester seems to be the only thing on the radio News this morning.

A town hitherto best known for Lacrosse sticks, thrown into the limelight ...

... by a lazy, philandering football player.

[Gromit]

And your question is what exactly?

[Gromit]

It is also a little bigger than a town.

[joggerjayne]

It looks quite small from here.

Is a town defined by its lack of size? I'm sure there must be lots of towns bigger than The City Of Brighton And Hove.

I don't really have a question.

[joggerjayne]

ps. I like your Avatar, Gromit. Very good.

[Davethedog]

Lacrosse sticks?

[ummmm]

Nor have I...

[Davethedog]

I dont understand the Lacrosse sticks reference.

Drugs, Moss side, shootings Man U, Man City, Lancashire CCC, Oasis, the Hacienda, Indie music, the Stone Roses, MEN, the Arndale Center, The Big Bang, University, airport but Lacrosse sticks?

[joggerjayne]

Dave ...

The best Lacrosse sticks in the world are made by Hattersley's of Manchester.

They are also the distributors for STX ... the top of the range composite material sticks.

I bought my friends' daughter two Lacrosse sticks from Hattersley's recently.

Where else would you go ??

Actually, Hattersley's are in a place called Eccles.

You see ... even a small place like Eccles has a famous product ... Lacrosse sticks!

[joggerjayne]

Ironic that I have so often bought things from Manchester ...

... but never been there ?

[Davethedog]

Eccles is best known for its cakes- I bet you are the only ABer who knew it was a hive of Lacrosse stick makers :-)

[joggerjayne]

Oh, yes ... those cakes.

Yes, but if there is any irony, surely it is that a place which produces world famous sporting equipment should become known for ...

... some sort of currant cake thing.

[B00]

Not quite sure why this question (?) has peed me of so much, but it has!

Manchester is not a town, it is infact a fantastic city. Places do exist north of the Watford Gap you know Jayne, and some of them are quite nice!

Lacrosse sticks!!! For Funks Sake!

[joggerjayne]

Dave ...

Any schoolgirl will tell you that the best Lacrosse sticks come from Hattersleys ...

Just like any schoolbuy will tell you that the best cricket bats come from ...

...

... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... (whoever)

Any child who associates Eccles with cakes is probably a bit overweight, LOL.

[Sqad]

BOO....LOL

It´s bloody filthy.

[ummmm]

Only in your world JJ....

[B00]

And you can ferk off too sqad.
