    Back and There Again

    Sally Anne Mathews has a break of 23 years in Coronation Street before returning. I think there’s probably quite a few in soap operas including a few who came back from the dead!!

    Brilliant, I’m going to have to go and watch his Jack The Ripper Tour episode now as it was one of my favourites. How about Frankie Vaughan crooning about Stockport.. used to be in Cheshire but got gobbled up by Manchester!!

    The Summerwine.net music thread

    Ahh, that’s the Manchester I used to love ;) It’s unrecognisable now. I had to go to a client in some new apartments near the Arena the other week and I came in from Salford.
