Testimonial from a defunct website no less!

I have to say I was rather cynical about Phil's book and the Mozbus tour initially since the fanzines were very good free sources guiding my pilgrimmages in the early '90s, but I was won over when passing by Old Trafford, he directed our attention to the fascinating DIY hardware shop across the road. Yeah, book and bus easily worth a fiver each.

Aww. You reminded of how I miss those MorrisseyTour skanks. Anyone here ever put-the-wood to any of 'em?

Well the first one has almost sold out and 7 years on is hopelessly out of date.

The second one has been a big disappointment. I've ever only seen it in Urbis in Manchester apart from a few copies that were 3 quid at Christmas in Fopp. It's never been in HMV at all. Poor distribution I guess

The first has consistantly sold well, so the publishers wanted to print more, so it was either print more as it was or bring it up to date. I choose the latter.

Good work - always handy when we come to collect our 6 points from Eastlands and Old Trafford not to mention Labour Party conferance (also in Manchester next year)

Early doors I know, but will you do a 2010 calander? West Ham Boys club for September?

Yes plan to do another one as last year I raised 240 quid for the Lads Club.
I've already take a picture of the Lads Club in the snow for December (or January!)
West Ham BC could be a runner.... I'd need a better picture though as all I have is the sign.... could you do the honours Virgil?

You were best keeping well away from Plaistow, if you know what is good for you....

That book (old edition) saved my arse when I went up to Manchester.
It was fun taking buses, trams, opening the big map that came with it in the middle of nowhere whilst being surrounded by townies. And there was builders in every corner, at one point they actually started throwing ice cubes on me...what a bunch of fun guys. True.
But next time I'd like to go in the Moz bus...how often does it happen?

Well worth getting it from Empire Exchange just so you can go into Empire Exchange. That place doesn't have legendary status but it should!

Got a nice pic of the bandstand and water fountain

Well worth getting it from Empire Exchange just so you can go into Empire Exchange. That place doesn't have legendary status but it should!

....and no one under 18 is allowed ''in the far corner'' of the shop
