 suspect a whole lot of others), what are the Whit Friday Marches. >>
The Whit Friday Marches (referred to as 'Saddleworth' in the film Brassed 
Off) is a series of March contests which take place on the aforementioned 
Whit Friday in various villages between Manchester and Huddersfield with 
prizes awarded at each and various overall prizes. Formerly the preserve of 
northern english bands, it is now attended by bands from all over including, 
this year, Eikanger Bjorsvik from Norway. It's a tremendous night out and 
worth attending if you're ever in these parts.
If you're over next year, get in touch with Dave Sheedy who is organising the 
Cyber band (another plug for you there Dave).
As for Manchester United, never heard of them.
