Prestwich Delicatessen
I keep getting told off for taking photos. The guy to the right of the picture asked me what I thought I was doing. He didn’t believe me when I said I just like to go round Manchester taking photos of anything that takes my fancy. He even noted down my car registration number as I went to leave! Twunt.

Random Quote
Those who wish to seek out the cause of miracles, and to understand the things of nature as philosophers, and not to stare at them in astonishment like fools, are soon considered heretical and impious, and proclaimed as such by those whom the mob adores as the interpreters of nature and the gods. For these men know that once ignorance is put aside that wonderment would be taken away which is the only means by which their authority is preserved.
