      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        Conference and concert goers who stay overnight from the UK and abroad perhaps?

              Man U supporters - we usually drive home even if the concert is in Liverpool.

              think next time I’m in Manchester will be for the extra Penn & Teller date for which I got the absolute last tickets. It’s on a Sunday so we will need to drive home as I will have an 8am meeting on the Monday.

                Edit - the one thing I remember about Manky is that it doesn’t have enough hotels at the moment anyway - so taxing them isn’t going to fix the issue

                  Err, lots of people. In the last full year before Covid hit tourism, Manchester was the third most popular city for foreign visitors, only behind London and Edinburgh.

                    I wanted tickets to P&T but I'm in Hawaii at the time
