Manchester weather/pollution update; “midday/smoke/mist/fog (what the fuck is this stuff?”. Manchester = more grey, more dark even than now. In a Joy Division documentary on XFM in 2007 Martin Moscrop of A Certain Ratio recalled this era; “Manchester was a very, very bleak place. It was dirty, all the buildings were black from the days they used coal. You used to get smog in the late 70s. It was so foggy you couldn’t drive a car.”
