There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho

I'd love to check out some of my old drinking haunts smiley - biggrin The Salisbury near Oxford Road Station, the Claremont Hotel in Moss Side, that Robinson's pub I used to go to in Fallowfield, the Old Conti (which I'm certain is no more), the New Conti (probably gone too if I could even remember where it was), the Capri Ballroom over by Maine Road smiley - bigeyes
