Spend enough time under people's floorboards and in their fuse boxes, you need somewhere decent to switch off. These are the ones I'd actually recommend over a pint, not the ones that just look sound on a leaflet. City through and through, but I'll give credit where it's due even to the odd football one that isn't about City.

Museums worth me time — 4 items
Name	Address	City	My take
1Science and Industry Museum	Liverpool Road, Manchester M3 4FP	Manchester	Proper good for an electrician, this. Old steam engines, wiring you can actually see working. Free entry an' all, which is sound when everything else round town's gone up.
2National Football Museum	Urbis Building, Cathedral Gardens, Manchester M4 3BG	Manchester	Loads of United stuff in here if I'm honest, which grates a bit, but the Jules Rimet trophy and the penalty shootout zone make up for it. Kids love it, I love it, don't tell anyone.
3Manchester Art Gallery	Mosley Street, Manchester M2 3JL	Manchester	Not really my scene, all them paintings, but the building itself is proper grand. Decent spot to dodge the rain for an hour. Café's alright too.
4People's History Museum	Left Bank, Spinningfields, Manchester M3 3ER	Manchester	Workers' history, trade unions, proper Manchester stuff this. Makes you appreciate not having to graft down a mill. Free too, can't moan about that.
