Oh fuck we hit a tree

There were quite a few others taking pictures too. I think people were shocked at seeing it.

I am just curious to see what happened. I hope the driver is ok.

They're here! Finally our three big tree planters. Being installed by three bus stops and we'll be adding cherry trees to them in January. Little disappointed with the dark green one, but nothing a little art won't rectify

Built on Eleventh Street in 1901 adjacent to the Old Trafford Hotel, a stone's throw from a series from of major factories and about a mile from Old Trafford football ground, St. Antony's Church is one of the few remaining corrugated iron mission churches surviving in Great Britain.

St. Antony's Centre founder, Kevin Flannagan who established the centre in 1980 with the local parish priest under the auspices of the Salford Diocese, said: “We now work to enable a range of people with low skills or no skills to get back into the work place and maintain this historic church for special services throughout the year.”

He added: “None is more special than the St. Antony's College's carol concert and we have parishioners returning from far and wide on an annual basis to hear the children sing.”

Manchester would struggle to cope with Paris-style terror attack because of cuts, says Police Federation chief

Manchester Evening News
Manchester would struggle to cope with a Paris-style terror attack if proposed government cuts go ahead, a senior police figure has warned.

Planned budget reductions will hinder the ability of the police to foil terror attacks or cope with them if they happen, according to Inspector Ian Hanson.

The scale of the current and proposed cuts - which could see GMP with less than 4,000 officers by 2019 - means neighbourhood units, long regarded as off-limits, are now also being reduced to find the necessary savings.
