So, this is it. We’re officially on lock down for a few weeks. We can sit around, twiddle our thumbs and smash your way through Star Trek Voyager, or you can do something a little more proactive and exciting (hint: they get home) and support your local independent traders from your very own home.
Afflecks is of course steeped in some serious history and is pretty much a bonafide Manchester institution. With their doors closed though, this still won’t top the many independent traders from still offering up some of their goods online – ready to be delivered straight to your house…
