you might find a lot of things closed on sunday in manchester
especially the record shops....as its a bank holiday with a lot of
people heading to Homelands on the Saturday B4 homelands to see
flash.. might check http://www.mrscruff.com but think he's doing a
big one at the kentish town forum that weekend ...
glasgow's got some wicked record shops too, but tricky to find the
good ones... great places to eat and hang out and clubs... check the
arches but there's so much more there 2....
enjoy - its very very green in england now, just like the
movies...and still raining...
