AW: Manchester

[Suzanne pach]

I would go for variation A, but I only just gained my BSL
level 1 certification, so I might not be the best person
to ask.. :)

Good Luck!

Suzanne

PS Talking about Manchester makes me think of the
SW-project that maybe was going to take place around
Manchester, but that couldn't get started yet because of
the (lack of) funding. Have there been any new
developments lately?
