A ROAD SAFETY campaign against left-hand drive lorries on British roads is coming to Manchester. Anthony and Barbara Ward, whose daughter was killed after a Dutch lorry forced her car off the M6, are bringing the campaign to the city. Although left-hand drive lorries are four times more likely to side swipe cars, fines and points aquired in this country do not always transfer back to the drivers' home countries.

Yang Sing and fires...not exactly strangers to each other are they...
Hmm, I've not heard of a Yang Sing hotel. Presumably it'll be like the restaurant - over-priced, over-hyped, treat it's customers like rubbish but still enjoy a mysteriously good press. I hope the warehouse was insured, by the way...
Can i help out with the cost of this hotel on my next insurance primium ?
Johnthebrief the hotel is going to be in the warehouse next to the Yang Sing at the corner of Princess Street and Portland Street. The designer is Roberta Fulford who's pretty good. And I had a group of German guests over late last month and they had a fabulous meal at the Yang Sing, so it seems to still get things right most of the time.
