Walk the walk

After last weeks coffee morning marathon (..................well okay the coffee morning bit only lasted about 90 minutes, although it did seem like hours with my arms up the elbows in soapy water, washing plates, mugs and cutlery before they were whisked away to be dirtied all over again) I have somehow been talked into taking part in the Manchester Legal Walk.

The Manchester Legal Walk is a 10k wander around the heart of Manchester in order to raise money for local legal charities, and in particular the North West Legal Support Trust, who make grants to ensure that disadvantaged members of the public can gain access to free legal advice, to ensure that everyone has access to justice.

This may seem to be something of a strange cause for a bunch of money hungry legal sharks, but some of my best times have been spent providing Pro-Bono work for members of the public and it really is an important provision for people who can not gain legal advice any other way.

So the next big question......."What does one wear to wander round Manchester in an evening at the end of September?" Some suggestions so far have included:

1. Wet suit and flippers!
2. Flip-flops.
3. Mankini (refusing on principle to even consider this....not only for the sensibilities of Mancunians who may see this, but also my own given the appearance of some of my colleagues) 
4. Tuttus  
5. Jeans and branded T-shirts
6. Bananaman costume
7. Suit and tie.

I have to say so far number 5 is winning, even if it means wearing the bosses name emblazoned across my chest! I hope to be able to put some photographs up once completed (and I have soaked my toes)
[although I promise not if we end up wearing mankinis!]
