As I was going to Manchester...

...I met:

• A 40-year old black man in Plymouth
• The ward sister in a paediatric hospital in Cardiff
• A woman in Crosby who had been burgled
• My father who ran a youth club
• A young man in London whose flat has been burgled five times
• My mother, a magistrate in Newbury for 30 years
• A man in my constituency called Clive Stone who had kidney cancer

What a busy evening!
