I take it you went nowhere near either Piccadilly Gardens or Oxford
Road, then?

Was hinting more at the pollution than pedestrianisation there

Picc. Gardens is pretty pedestrianised (the bit leading down to the
arndale anyway). I don't count oxford road as the middle of manchester
as it's south of the A57M. The only reason you'd go down there is to
rip some students off or visit the BBC

I was thinking of the area around exchange square really.


I can't gripe about the squares - Exchange/Albert/St Annes/Great
Northern etc but the problem is that the centre is, that with the
exception of Market Street you're always having to cross pretty busy
roads when out and about in Manc. Cross Street near M&S being
particularly lethal...
