Old Trafford (home of Manchester United and Lancashire Cricket club) is in the borough of Trafford, not the City of Salford. But then again as a hated person from Worsley what would I know? smiley - winkeye

I'll find out in a few hours, I'm just chain-smoking my way through the agony of waiting. I'll probably stick it in my journal tomorrow, unless I fail miserably in which case I'll have it put in the obituary column of the Advertiser.

Looking back on this, some of the responses I've had since make you look like a pussycat Croz One from today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/F115634?thread=3454555 My favourite ever feedback, from 2005.

Oooh burn!

Since I still work in Swinton (not for the Council thank deity) I'm trying to remain impartial. There's good bits and there's bad bits. In other words, I'm being an awkward so and so as usual smiley - winkeye I guess half the problem is that all this may have been true all those years ago, but things change over time, be it opinions or the environs.

Know it's easier said than done, but don't let the smiley - bleeps grind you down. If they don't read the addendum it's their problem.
