Just out of interest how many people sit in the Peace Gardens at lunchtime I'm sure I can't be the only forummer out of all the crowds the nice weather has brought out.

You lucky devil - I'm stuck on an industrial road between Pitsmoor and Meadowhall (or somewhere!)I'd love to be in town on these sunny days ....

I wish. All I have to view from my office window are; rolling hills, a fair few sheep, and some lovely countryside. ;)

Be careful, you might get accused of being a paedophile! The police may even stop and search (http://www.manchester-forum.co.uk/index.php/topic,1169.0.html) you for sitting there in the sunshine. It turns out that any man sitting out enjoying the sunshine in a city centre park or square is actually a paedophile. :o

Potentially, depending on weather.com.

Be careful, you might get accused of being a paedophile! ahahaha that's like something from Monkey Dust

"By the power vested in me by a text vote on Sky News, any single male in daylight is guilty of paedophilia"

When the weather is nice I regularly head for the Peace Gardens and grab myself a sunny spot of grass. I was down there today, I don't mind the school holidays but today was so nice and peaceful compared to recently with kids screaming running through the fountains. I normally get a paper from Somerfield and chill out there with my meal dela form Boots with my headphones in, that gets me away from it all.

must agree about the kids, nothing against them enjoyin themselves but i was there today too and it was nice and quiet,just quietly soakin up the sun

Best enjoyed with a pasty from the shop across the road.

Yes I used to. I thought it was a novel idea when I used to work around there.. until I found the small patch of grass near the back of the Winter Gardens, it's far quieter and a nice little sun spot around midday.

You must be joking, £2.80p for a pasty. You must have some shares in the place, go to Greggs, much better.

Your kidding right? I once saw a notice in Greggs about the ingredients in their products, along the lines that their products contain X amount of E numbers, artificial flavouring & whole lot of other nasty stuff.

Have you got shares in Somerfield and Boots lol? I'm surprised you didn't tell us the brand of your mp3 player/mobile phone. :|

I miss out on this due to the amount of goths,tramps and kids having their weekly bath in the fountains.

I'll sit in Peace Gardens to eat lunch - but it has to be REALLY warm! You won't see me there in this weather - sun or no sun!
