There is indeed all the answers there within - as a fellow 'U.K.'-er, you'll be familiar with the Red Rose, of Brigantes background and pagan past - (pre Roman Mamucium)
I hail from, and reside in the olde Ringway parish which is now the site of the Aviation area of business of a World-wide gateway
There are answers to many things in these threads and on this site. I would say most can't see, or won't look. You are quite intriguing.
Have you just mentioned Manchester Airport to me? Hringhæg.
Anyway, on a side note, I first went to Manchester Airport when I was 10. As for Manchester itself. First went there when I was 18. Just jumped in my car and went looking for some clothes -- something a bit different. Some shopkeepers in the centre of Manchester were fascinated with my hairstyle at the time. I had a quiff and a DA. One shopkeeper said to me, "
How have you managed to get your hair to go in two different directions?" Homage to my dad who had the same when he was 18. My dad was already into wearing suits at that age.
Before I went to Manchester I had a look of a possible route on a map, then I thought, "What on earth is a Mancunian Way!?" Obviously, my curiosity got the better of me at the time, as it often does, and I had to research it.
You have Lancashire roots? -- War of the Roses. The red one, obviously.
As for the
Brigantes -- I’m a bit more southern than you (not
too southern, I hope). I’ve often used a forum name of
Mercia, And even
MerciaAnglii
