BBC Request - are you affected by the bus situation in city centre?

[bbc2]

Hello
I am working on a series about transport for the BBC. We are looking for people in Manchester who experience bus journeys around the Piccadilly gardens area on a daily basis. We want to ask you your opinion on the congestion problems surrounding this route and would love to hear from you if your journey is regularly affected by the high number of buses. We would also like to know if the situation has eased in recent weeks or if you are still frustrated at the jams.
Please call the number below or email me at [email protected]
Many thanks in advance for your time
Best wishes
Alex

I'LL TELL HIM.  I am hoping Anne Robinson will go on that "Who Do You Think You Are" programme, my mother's maiden name was Robinson and we could be related somewhere along the line, certainly my mother's side have similar facial features - but no red hair (although you can' tell in old black and white photos) Shall get him to ring you on your mobile

[bbc2]

she'd be a good one for 'who do you think you are?' Yes mobile would be great
thanks alex
