21:15 visit and a decent mid week crowd in. Full range of half decent LocAles noted, in what is one of the better outlets here. Jumped out at Oxford Road for this last call today. Nice place.

13:30 Trip to Manchester to take advantage of the Airport station engineering works and travel between Heald Green North & South Junctions. Mission accomplished came here for lunch. Fairly busy as you would expect at a City Centre lunchtime. Ground floor toilets are a notable exception to the usual Wetherspoon's facilities.
