By the time you’re reading this, several 20-somethings are sound asleep on my sofa after a big night out.
They do have homes to go to, but they’ve converged on Manchester for a birthday weekend - one has braved rail strikes to come via coach from Scotland, another has driven from North Wales, and another couple arrived on the train from Yorkshire. My flat will be serving as a makeshift Travelodge this weekend.
So, when they live so far away, why have my pals decided on Manchester for a night out? Leeds is just as accessible, Newcastle is wonderful, and Liverpool can certainly show you a good time.
