Lives in Manchester. Dumped car years ago. Cycle whenever and wherever I can. Love wildlife, music pre 1989, dark humour*, satire and work in IT. Now, bring on the classic TOTP (*That's me a gonna now with dementia in several years)

I forgot about the red rental shops.

I'm still after a Finlandia colour set.

SiBt 🌱 @sibt65.bsky.social · 5h

I think you're right.
Mind you, it was in a funny spot in Manchester, away from the shops etc.

Part of the Granada group ISTR.

There used to be a Granada Dry Cleaners in Manchester! I don't think they were affiliated though.

FOOK, THOSE COLLARS

I'm guessing that they are the only collars visible from space

You can't miss it, Barry Cryer is in it.

From memory, there are some good impressionists on it....and Little & Large

I think Deb is slowly relinquishing Joanne of all her valuables and telling her they are only worth pennies

I did after hours cookery class in the 'Domestic Science' classrooms. From memory, I think we just did scones most of the time 😀

It's ok. I was thinking more the city centre.

SiBt 🌱 @sibt65.bsky.social · 6h

I wish it did.
Maybe I should head out with it chained to my wrist and see how long I last before getting jumped 😄

It did..in the woodwork classroom. We only did woodwork for a year or so. I did EWTP (metalwork😆) as one of my o-levels.

That was serious, we had drills, electric metal saws and a mini foundry where they thought it was safe to let kids loose with molten metal.

We used to make Kung Fu stars.

I hate painting skirting boards.

I did the hall, stairs and landings in August. Gave up being careful and decided it was easier to just slop it on and get a new carpet after as I couldn't be arsed masking it all off.
