Invaded space
The town hall in Manchester is currently getting a face lift and is covered up in all sorts of bits of plastic and that green stuff. After the riots no expense was spared and the building was draped in five storey tall ‘I heart Manchester’ to lift the spirits of the displaced civil servants who are currently camping out in atrocious conditions in the shiny Number One Central as well as the Mancunians who don’t feel disadvantaged because they don’t have the latest smart phones, trainers or glass strewn low rise pedal pushers or smoke damaged ra-ra skirts from Miss Etam.
Miss Etam by the way is still closed eight months after the riots. Where women with taste and an eye for fashion are buying their clothes at the moment is anybody’s guess and now that Peacock’s has closed down, things in Manchester have gone from bad to worse.

This is the latest adornment on the town hall. Space invaders made from street furniture, cones and barriers. Rather clever and eye catching. In fact it was so eye catching I stood catching it in my eye for 10 minutes or more and in all that time there was no sign of activity, not a fat white belly hanging out of a hi-visability jacket to be spyed, not a builder’s bum, a digger’s split or a tarmacer’s crack in sight in fact just like roadworks up and down the country no sign of activity to be seen. I racked and racked and racked my brain I couldn’t for the life of me remember the number of John Major’s cone line number. I shall write a letter to the papers instead signed ‘perturbed from Penrhyn Bay’
