There are events in a person's life where they remember where they were. Most Manchester United fans (who were alive and not literal babies like I was) will remember where they were in 1999 when the club won the treble, but other landmarks are memorable because of the absurdity of the situation you find yourself in.
Back in good old 2018, which seems so long ago given what's happened between then and now, I was at university down in London but had returned to Manchester for a week. It's expensive down south and there's not much to do when you have a minimum wage bar job supporting you.
And also because it was both my parents' birthdays were within that week and I thought I might surprise them.
