cocker Posted August 11, 2010 Share #22 Posted August 11, 2010 That was Salford not Manchester. And it was MacColl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share #23 Posted August 11, 2010 Now the paddys are claiming it! Dirty Old Town - Irish Song Lyrics and Music Midi I don't think those are the Salford words. And no Ian Millar's family were pinko Scottish, not Irish, although Ian was born in Salford. And you did detect my regional accent? Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share #24 Posted August 11, 2010 Hi OOps his real name was James Henry Miller but the was an actor so... The real words were "smelled a Spring on the Salford wind" But the Salford community did not like that as it meant Salford was the dirty old town. This was post WWII where lots of it had been flattened by the Luffwaffen. Sorry memory going, had to use google. Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted August 22, 2010 Share #27 Posted August 22, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Gents, I notice that the Parade isn't due to start until 1 pm so I plan to fulfill an early commitment and arrive in Mancs in the early afternoon with the intention of getting some shots of the parade as it ends around Chorlton Street and "anal treet":p. Would someone kindly suggest a place we can meet after the parade for a leisurely pint, bite to eat and natter please and I'll plan to see you all there? The parade route and details aren't up yet but I'll assume that it'll be finished by 4 or 5 so shall we meet at around, say, 5 o'clock? (Alternative suggestions welcomed.) Ta, Pete.

bobfrance Posted August 23, 2010 Share #30 Posted August 23, 2010 A bit of information on the parade route: The parade starts at 1pm and runs from the top of Deansgate near MOSI down through St Anne's Square, past Albert Square and finally ending at the Gay Village.

Thanks, Bob. The site said that a map of the parade route would be posted nearer to the start, which is what a non-Mancunian such as myself would be grasping for. Pete.
