Don't Drive For an Hour After Reading This Post

We had a final, family Summer Holiday trip yesterday. We went to the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry with plenty of buttons for me - er - my daughter - to press. I hardly thought of the museums of my youth though for some strange reason, Holden Caulfield in the New York Museum came to mind. Anyway, plenty of planes, and looms - lots and lots of looms and other cotton related machinery though none of them working (unlike those at Wigan Pier). The best bit is of course the hands-on gallery with all sorts of interactive button pressing and things to see and do. There is even a Jean-Michel Jarry type laser harp and air percussion though the results created by hundreds of kids just walking through the beams are not really musical. NOS was slightly bemused though never bored. The highlight of the day was NOT quite seeing Fred Elliott driving a Morgan through the museum precincts but it was slightly chilling for some reason. I say it was slightly chilling.

Digital Camera has been purchased so watch out for more visuals in future.
