Leave a comment and I'll assign you a random UK city to be twinned with

@RosaMarie Congratulations, you are now twinned with Stirling, pop.34,790. Home of Stirling Albion and the Wallace memorial. Haste ye back.

@Lugwho Oo Scotland. How cool.

@RosaMarie Enjoy your trip

@Lugwho I'll be in and out of Manchester next month. Don't think I can swing a trip that far north.

@RosaMarie It's a bit of a trek. Manchester is a fun city though.

@Lugwho But very expensive! The Trafford Centre is fun to walk through though.

@ninalanyon I've always avoided the Trafford Centre. I'm not a fan of shops.

@Lugwho It's not the shops that make it interesting, it's the fantastically over the top decor! And it's convenient for me when I'm in Manchester because there is a set of Tesla chargers. So while my car is charging I go for a stroll through the centre. I've never bought anything there :-)
Here's a few pictures

I was especially pleased with this picture

I haven't explored the ground floor, it seems to be a huge dining area

@ninalanyon Reminds me of a nightclub I used to go to in Nottingham.

@Lugwho But this is huge, much bigger than any nightclub I think. It's divided into several themes, The Orient, The American South, Classical Rome/Greece/Egypt, and probably more.
