Oh I don't know Loz,  Posh Spice carries packets of frozen peas around with her!

Getting things back on topic.  One of my favourite places in the city is Lincoln Square

Mr Thomas's Chop House for ale in lovely Victorian splendour, and Sam's Chop House for a more cosy version of that.


Waterstones Deansgate for a superb bookshop that has a great local history section.


Thomas Street for shop fronts that make it seem as though you're in an episode of Life on Mars.


Barton Arcade for a shopping mall that looks like something out of a film set in Paris in the 1920s.


The former HSBC Bank on King Street, now a Jamie Oliver restaurant, for being probably the most beautiful building in Manchester city centre.


Castlefield for the cobbles and canal.

Welcome to the forum.


I'd go along with Stew with regards to Waterstone's on Deansgate.  I like nothing more than a well stocked book shop, and to see if I can add anything more to my ever growing collection.  I tend to head for the history department first.

History is interesting I agree, I used to go in the cafe on the first floor overlooking Deansgate, was in the one in Altrincham on Saturday which is nice too 8)

Not been to Waterstone's in Altrincham for a while, but it was certainly a nice book shop the last time I was there.  There is a small branch in Knutsford which opened about three or four years ago I think, but there was a very small independent one called Jardines which was next to the car park.  This was crammed from floor to ceiling with books on every topic you could imagine.  The owners were great, and could order any book within a few days.  Sadly, Jardines closed down not long after Waterstone's opened here.  I don't know if there are any book shops in Lymm.

Not sure about Lymm, there was one on Regent Street in Altrincham, the ground floor and a cellar - I could easily spend an afternoon there sitting on the floor with the sun shining in through the basement window - it had everything. 
 
Have a large collection of books and could stock a mobile library, like reference books the best :)

Wasn't Waterstones on Deansgate part of Kendal Milne's at one time?

Yes it was.  There used to be an underground passageway linking the two shops as well if I'm not mistaken.
