A WINTER'S TALE

摘要

Early Saturday morning in February and Big Suzy's enormous windscreen wipers were having trouble coping with Storm Dennis. Now, although Manchester's microclimate is famously damp, this deluge really put the tin hat on it. Some roads were flooded, others blocked, and a long diversion halfway to the Pennines prompted a hasty and lengthy re-route. As we crossed the dystopian metrops of Mankland in the pouring rain I finally understood all those dirgey pop lyrics by Manchester Miserablists like Morrissey and The Smiths.
