Rumour at the Oddies has it that she has moved to Whitehough and has been seen drinking in the Oddies. |
The optimist believes that Whaley Bridge is the best place in the world to live. The pessimist fears he might be correct. |

My favorite place - take your own drink, or buy it next door at the shop which quite a good selection of stuff.
The curries there are excellent. You may need to book on a Friday/Saturday, but they also do take aways.

N.B. The Cafe Bombay doesn't take plastic so either a cheque or cash. The prices are similar to Rusholme and the quality is unbeatable.

I am guilty of going off topic. If the thread continues on curry houses, I'll move that bit of it to to the general discussion area. Cheers jon. |

Here is a tweet from a couple of years ago from Test Match Special scorer Malcolm Ashton talking about being in Whaley with none other than former West Indies test player Michael Holding; and apparently both he and the legendary fast bowler had a “top night”.
I wonder where they were?
Malcolm Ashton@TMSscorer 5 Sep 2012
Big thanks to all at Whaley Bridge last night where Michael Holding and myself were providing the entertainment. Top night.
