Greens restaurant in West Didsbury has closed after 33 years citing a 35% rent increase as a reason.I think it was owned by Simon Rimmer

Another nearby cafe/bar also closed Xmas Eve, again due to a rent hike.

A depressing start to the year

Also, yesterday at #Manchester #psychfest I drank something called a O-Matcha Cappuccino. It was pretty much undrinkable - so bad.

All in all though, a great day out and superb value for money. Favourites were the Crocodiles - shame a guitar string broke which cut their set short a bit. Couldn't keep my eyes off the lead guitarist - he's got some moves.

See y'all next year

I've just started using a virtual disposable card for online purchases (ebay mainly, I avoid Amazon like the plague).
Very happy with it and the online security it gives, even more so when a supplier refunded me through it no problem.
Should I be concerned about the reduced warranty/purchase/fraud protection it gives me as it's a debit card not a credit card? Seems a bit of a murky area to me so, for now, will use a credit card for any big ticket stuff

Congratulations to Spain - deserved winners of the World Cup.
Nice to see the Queen of Spain there too. Shame our President of the FA was on a much needed holiday - royal clown show

Got the aeropress out for a taster while faffing about with the machine/grinder. I can certainly taste some vanilla in there - very nice indeed 👍

It's new bag of coffee time. Not tried this before. Tasting notes say "Vanilla - Blood Orange - Strawberry" hmmm indeed 🤔...

Now comes the pain of back-flushing the machine and dialing in the grinder...hopefully a decent brew awaits

Anyone remember the Magic Bus ? #bus

Back in the '70s me and mate hitchhiked to Greece. So we could travel light, we decided not carry a tent with us. Camping overnight without a tent is not a good idea - in fact, it's bordering on lunacy.

There was no way we could stomach the idea of hitching back, so the Magic Bus came to the rescue. I soon realised why all the floor space had been taken, 3.5 days sitting in that thing I was as stiff as a board (+ no toilets)

When thinking about how much public money these Tories have spunked I find this graphic useful

So, I get a letter today dated 21/11/22 telling me that Linder Myers #solicitor are ceasing trading on 25/11/22 (that's yesterday guys).

"If the Firm do not hear from you before the Transfer Date (yesterday), we will transfer your file to ..... to ensure that your interests are protected"

What an absolute joke.

30/06/2020 accounts filed late on 27/7/2021 and no accounts filed since. Only one director left, all the others have resigned.

I've found an instance, mcr.wtf, that is intended for people .... just interested in Greater #Manchester This is where I live but it's a small instance.

Instance wise, I'm happy where I am. I would like to set up an account there and link it somehow to my existing account - but I don't think that's possible, is it ??#mastodonmigration

For now I'm try and follow accounts I can find there and hopefully keep up to speed with all things local to me. I already follow #Manchester
