Scotland invades England!

by Rob

With our office being based in Manchester city centre the last few days have been - well quite interesting.

The usual sounds of a car or two going past the window or other office workers having a chat and a cigarette (or 'a fag and a nag' as I like to call it!) were replaced by the sounds of thousands of Glasgow Rangers football fans professing their love for their club and bagpipes!

It's fair to say that the UEFA Cup Final has made the usual city work day a lot different - and I think that that is a good thing.

The usual suits were overwhelmed by 100,000 plus blue shirts and the area had a buzz around it that I have never experienced. Even non-football fans must have been amazed with the sight that appeared in from off them on their normally tranquil streets.

Mind you now that the fans are gone, the helicopters over head are silent, the city squares are clean, it makes you enjoy the city the way it is!
