Well my Grandad was from Levenshulme, which is quite close to Burnage I think. Just know the centre really, probably all the gimmicky stuff, it's good when I'm driving through though, get to see the real Manchester and that. I don't go as often as I should. And I adore Oasis lol used to be obsessed, saw a good doc where they went back to their old estate in Burnage, apprently their Dad still Dj's in a pub around the Irish quater. Went to see Oasis in Manchester in 05, was great.

Yeah Levenshulme is not far. I have never seen Oasis live. I imagine they were great. It's been a long time since I have been out there. The Hacienda is all flats now. :(

Yeah. The centre itself went through a lot of re-generation due to the bombing. In recent years there have been loads of new apartment blocks put up too. It has gone through so much change but it has retained so many of its original features. The bombing happened close to the Arndale centre.

Yeah thought so, Manchester has a massive Irish community, seemed a weird target.

I was just glad they gave them warning and they had time to get everyone out. Thankfully nobody died. I lived about 20 mins out of the centre at the time and I felt the shock from the blast.

Yeah, I was wondering how they had come to a code word where it was an actual bomb going off. I think some were injured though weren't they?

Yes indeed. I live by Canary Wharf now and South Quay was bombed by there years ago too. People lost their lives in that one.
