He writes them stories ...… but not necessarily the ones you can believe …. Smile Dammit Smile!!! Chorlton

Here for those of a discerning but gullible frame of mind are the Chorlton stories which you will not find anywhere else.

Mr. Topping has set himself the task of some fine investigative journalism with stories ranging from “Bodies Found in Southern Cemetery”, “Chorlton Bus found on Moon”, and “Mysterious Container Found on Doorstep", along with “Books Discovered in Chorlton Bookshop”, and “Dead Shark Found in Chorlton Diving Pool”.

I am told that the public’s response to the news sheet has been very positive, with one chap writing in to complain about a story on the proposed revised route for HS2 through Chorlton and the construction of a new station to be sited in the township.

Pleased as the chap was, he wanted to know why the Government hadn’t considered a station in Wythenshawe which would assist the areas regeneration.

Leaving me to ponder on the power of silly news to move events forward.

And this collection will certainly open up undiscovered corners of Chorlton, challenge the concept of truth, and make most people calling for the sequel

The book is available from http://www.pubbooks.co.uk/ or Chorlton Book shop, 506 Wilbraham Road, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester M21 9AW 0161 881 6374
