Hi all!

Isn’t the ‘Mercure Hotel’ near the shed place?

Anyway, your energy bills are coming down April 1st. I’m just wondering what you gonna spend your extra money on that you’ll have! …Aren’t they so kind! Standing charges are going up though!…Robbers, the lot of em!

On (St Pats Day), on listening ‘Dirty old town’ several times during the day on my travels, I learned that the ‘Dirty old Town’ referred to in the song is actually Salford!…is there only me who didn’t know that? …I presumed it was somewhere in Ireland, maybe Belfast or Dublin. I gather Kirsty McColl wrote it growing up in Salford…I never knew! …Great song!
