Welcome to The Traffic Centre
Advantages: Lots of high-end shops. Disadvantages: BUSY, BUSY, BUSY.
The Trafford Centre - of The Traffic Centre as I sometimes refer to it, is a bit shopping complex, that has two floors and is located on the Manchester ring road (the M60), between junctions 9 and 10.
The shopping centre has all the big stores - Selfridges, Mark and Spencer's, Debinhams and John Lewis to name but a few. It also has smaller designer shops, female, male and children clothes stores, as well as gift shops and home ware stores. You can ... ...to eat at one of the many restaurants - there are loads available - that range from fast food to nicer, sit-in restaurants. There is lots of parking available and you can also access it by bus. I live close to the Trafford Centre, so it's easy for me to get there and I have also had various part-time jobs within the centre over the years. However I can't stand the place! Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great place to go for a day out every year, ...

M & S Excellent quality of food
Advantages: Great variety of products and excellent quality of food Disadvantages: High priced products
Marks and Spencer normally connotes good quality products and they tend to be more pricey than other retailers however the quality of the food they sell and their retail products are excellent. I have tried many of the different varieties of food such as the Marks and Spencer Birthday cakes and Victoria sponge cakes which is very tasty and saves money on getting a professional to make a cake. They have excellent choice of childrens birthday cakes ... ...the last minute. I do however feel that some of the products at Marks and Spencers are quite expensive and with the credit crunch I personally dont feel that I could shop there on a regular basis but its a great place to shop for occasions and festivals. ...

Body worlds...stripped bare...
Advantages: Starts well, some was scientific...the literature was interesting! Disadvantages: Mostly non scientific, patronising and boring...without the arrogance of von Hagens
...took us to see the Body Worlds 4 exhibition at Manchester Science Museum. I deliberately asked for a new category for this because although it was at the museum it's a short term exhibit and the only real part of the museum we visited. The basic idea is that it is a display of dead bodies which is meant to educate the general public. Cost: £10 adult
....... £8 student/elderly
........ £7 child - which is 16 and under
Dates: 22nd Feb - 29th June
... ...of preserved human bodies and body parts that he prepares using a technique called plastination which he invented himself in the July 1977. The Body Worlds exhibition was first shown in Tokyo in 1995 and has since been shown all over Europe and America, with the latest show of Body Worlds 4 being at Manchester Science Museum. The original Body Worlds exhibition contained 25 full body plastinates showing certain parts of the human body in their original ...

It truly is the Theatre of Dreams!
Advantages: Great atmosphere, great club, great stadium Disadvantages: None
Old Trafford is home to Manchester United, who is one of the best teams in the world. The stadium has a massive capacity of roughly 76,000 and is one of the biggest stadiums in the world! I am very lucky to have seen Manchester United play some games at Old Trafford and have probably seen about 10 different games. Old Trafford is nicknamed the "Theatre of Dreams" and is a brilliant stadium. I think the atmosphere is amazing and when a goal is scored ... ...car park you may catch some of the players and even get an autograph if you are lucky! If you ever get the chance and you are a football fan I suggest you go to Old Trafford as it is a great stadium and the atmosphere is fantastic! ...
