is there a grudging respect between Mancs & Scousers?

Is
the Hummer a bummer? It's the
daddy of all 4x4 vehicles. At 拢55K and weighing 4 tonnes, the
Hummer is overpriced, overweight, and over here. Versatile, safe,
family-friendly and fun? Or is the Hummer a gas-guzzling eco-bummer?

Anouska:
Was she right to go? Stockport lass Anouska was the first person to be evicted

jealous?

lunchtime in and around Manchester - and how much are you prepared
to pay for a sandwich? (22/01/03)

bid to ease traffic congestion. But will it work? (10/12/02)
Top-up
fees - pricing out students? Students from Manchester are joining a national demo
in London against top-up fees. They say any levy on tuition fees
will price out poorer students. Are they right? (04/12/02)
Liam
Gallagher - God or Goon?

from rock stars? (03/12/02)
