My brother is coming to England in October
I'll be with him most of the time, but the last 3 days he'll be in London while I stay working in Manchester.

Which non-turistic London places would you recommend him to visit? In which area do you think it's best to stay: central and expensive or no so central and cheaper?

And for the Northeners, he'll spend a few days with me in Manchester. He's been in Chester, York and Liverpool. Anywhere else you think he should visit?

The new bull ring is pretty cool and there is that church just down from it where you can have lunch which is very nice

Are there actually bulls, or is it just fat brummie women with their noses pierced?

There is a big brass bull

Oh boy
it would almost be worth putting up with that horrific excuse for a local dialect they have just to see a massive brass bull.

Chester Zoo and York Dungeons.
And apparently there's a notorious dogging place near where I live. But I wouldn't recommend that.

Just tell him not to go anywhere near Runcorn.

Nah, I think I would have noticed that.
I have spotted a suspiciously cavalier looking gentleman in a red hoodie though. Know anyone that looks like that?

Dunno
Did he have a monocle that looked suspiciously like a party ring?
(Bazongaloid, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 16:56, Reply)

No-o
But he was stuffing his face with them. He may have used one as a monocle at some point, but I didn't notice.
