"No idea what became of all the knickers!"
They sent mine back to me :-)
Oh dear - how sad
Did you know the Topic Felix Doran album was recorded in the downstairs gents toilet of The Free Trade Hall ?
Not a lot of people know that
I bought my copy of Bert Lloyd's 'Folk Song in England at a jumble sale there (in the hall - not in the jacks)
As for Tommy Ducks - that's where I practiced some of most artistic, persuasive and fruitful chatting up lines before we headed off to the cinema in Deansgate
All a little off-topic but very much a part of Manchester's history - and mine
Sorry for the interruption
Jim
