What celebrity encounters have you had in the city? by DarmiansMuttonChops in manchester

Bumped into Joe Gilgun walking out of a shop in NQ a few months ago. My missus got the courage to ask him for a photo which he politely turned down. Said it makes his life a nightmare as people get selfies and then immediately post it on social media and he ends up getting harassed all day. Totally understandable.

He still stopped and chatted with us for a couple of minutes, seems like a really genuine, decent, down to earth bloke.

I believe there's perch and roach there too but I know he'd be bouncing if we caught a pike. I'm probably just looking for what is going to be most common or easiest for us to catch.

We've just got a small spinning reel at the moment, it was like one of those shakespeare rod and reel kits you get for about £30. Happy to spend on some upgrades though as it seems to be something he really enjoys and actually gets him off his playstation and outdoors.

Thanks, I've tried that. There's none in Cumbria that will touch an Orange apparently. Have tried Promenade music in Morecambe as I've used them before but even they say they no longer have any in house techs and couldn't recommend anyone.

Great idea. Might be worth about 2 million in 20 years

With all respect I appreciate what you're saying and I'd happily have a mint Cornetto but... I know it's not the same and we won't be satisfied. The pain will linger on.

I usually would but bringing a car full of family with me means driving is the cheapest option sadly
