Dismantling ice rink, 8/1/26

Every year, the square between the National Football Museum and Manchester Cathedral is occupied by an ice rink from early November. Then, every year around this time, it is dismantled again. I guess it keeps some people employed. Presumably there is some order involved; piece number 697 is getting ready for filing, for example.

“Some job this is. Waiting around in line for the ice rink to open so we can be pushed around by irritating little brats.”

“Oh, cheer up, Bob. It’s a living.”

“Is it? Shouldn’t we be in Antarctica or something?”
