Will have mudcat access early on Friday - just long enough to check threads but will be leaving at about 11ish to get up there.
The rally is part of the living wage campaign. Although we now have a minimum wage in this country, it is set so low , especially for people under 21 that even working full time it is not enough to live on. Thousands of people will be decending on Manchester for a march through the streets on Saturday.
There is a concert Sat evening mostly aimed at younger people with bands such as Catatonia and Toploader.
I'm going up with half a dozen others in a minibus - but don't have a lot in common with the others, so thought it might be a good opportunity to meet some catters in the flesh rather than cyber hugs.
