Hi SabihaN and welcome to MN.
None of us Stockport lot can fathom why we have out own section on MN but every now and then, someone like you comes along and bumps a thread into active convos and I think we all think...hmm, maybe we should do a meet-up. Then we discuss it for a bit and then we forget about it!
There is a Manchester meet-up at Christmas (November 29th) if you're interested, however!
