Happy owner of new hip! On way home shortly. Thank you @RJAH_NHS - had particular delight of finding the anaesthetist knew me from @ellesmerecoll. All your doctors, nurses, assistants have been brilliant.

@MoTGM Junction of Scholes Lane and Bury Old Road?

@lynjobaggins @RJAH_NHS Best wishes for a speedy and successful recovery.

@MoTGM It's really heartening to see how Bullocks has survived all the upheaval in changes in public transport. Are they now the oldest coach company in and around Manchester?
