Mooning about in Manchester Arndale


Greetings earthlings!

Don’t worry, I’ve not been abducted by an alien as the picture might suggest.

In actual fact, the cheeky chappy stood next to me is the lovely Moonchester mascot from Manchester City FC. The moon-faced one came to join me at the One Way Street roadshow at Manchester Arndale to encourage Mancunian smokers to quit for good with help from their local NHS Stop Smoking Service.

We spoke to lots of people, including a 77-year-old woman who finally made the decision to quit her 60-cigarette-a-day habit after seeing our One Way Street information pod, because she had “simply had enough of smoking”. Good for her!

Come along and see me soon – tomorrow I’m heading over to Wigan and Blackburn, so if you’re in the area come over and say hello. If you’re lucky, I’ll wave my flipper at you!

Farewell for now, and in the words of Moonchester, Come on City!

Percy
