Hi Gavin. We had Geoff on Radio Manchester the other day and agree that he does some good stuff. We've got nothing to do with the voting though.
Roberto, you're far too kind, but we don't see ourselves as so much of a blog as a reflector of blogs. There's also lots of really good Manchester content out there which, so far at least, we haven't even started to scratch the surface of.
