Manchester Piccadilly station

Yeah.

It's much, it's just much easier, isn't it? Than going all the way a little bit further south into Manchester Piccadilly, then tram, and then bunch of other stuff to get there.

Yeah.

Seems a long way for a shortcut.

They don't live in the north where [laughs] where I live, where we re- really are reaping the, the consequences of this.

And guys, it's all you have to do is go and watch a few audit videos of Manchester Piccadilly or Blackburn or Bradford, uh, and you'll see what it's like at night.

You'll see the reality.

And even myself, you know, when I go and preach the gospel in some of these areas and I tell people about Jesus, I'm not welcome, and I'm often met with, yeah, some very hairy situations where people have wanted to...

What are you going for anyway? Just go for one.

Is this from Hazel Grove to Piccadilly?

Uh, it starts at-

It will be, won't it?

Well, it could, well, it could be Stockport to, to-

Yeah, it starts, so that was another question.

It starts at Manchester Piccadilly and goes to Hazel Grove, or the other way around, I suppose-

Yeah

Yeah, absolutely.

And you can see this, you can, with your own feet, you know, if you come out of Manchester Piccadilly Station and you turn right and you walk for about 20 or 30 minutes, you'll end up at the Etihad Stadium, and it is a pretty swanky place.

Um, there's a nearby Co-op Live, this huge indoor arena.

There's a training pitch.

there's a couple two players in there from near wrexham

When my uncle Charlie left to go to Bogota in controversial circumstances, there was only one person waiting on the platform to say goodbye to him at Manchester Piccadilly.

It was Billy Meredith telling me he'd done the right thing.

So historical anecdotes would add to his significance.

Yeah, being blasted across the busiest square in London town.

And Manchester Piccadilly Station.

And Manchester Piccadilly Station.

But I didn't see a picture of that one.

No, no one got one.

That was like a video game.

I managed and negotiated that, still with my life intact, and I managed to get all the way to Piccadilly Station before somebody had cost me wanting money for heroin.

Nice.

It was like train spotting.

Oh, you'd have got wallops if you said that.

Absolutely walloped.

but I could see the statue of the soldiers as you enter Piccadilly Station, so I just sort of said that and then ran off to the station quickly.

Before his needle-ridden chums got me.
