I had been somewhat annoyed that I couldn’t get wifi on the Virgin train without having to pay. Scotrail being free. And therefor I did not get off at the closest station to the Stay Inn, the very nice (they have ice!) hotel where I’ll stay whilst in Manchester. And I would definitely stay here again if I return. Manchester offers a free, every 10 minutes, bus shuttle coving the center of the city. More than made up for the wrong rail stop.
I went into Vodefone near the entrance to the Manchester Arndale, one of the largest shopping malls I’ve ever been in. Lilly greeted me with a big smile and considering that my purchase was not a phone, tablet or much of anything, still happily spent time pointing out things I should see whilst in the city. I then went to Carlos, the store manager to tell him how impressed I was with Lilly. By the time I left the store these two had spent nearly one and a half hours making the Yank Manc feel welcomed. Thanks guys.
