The Mancunian Way: Dirty old town
Hilary Judd had a life that was a picture of suburban bliss in Manchester. The 46-year-old mum has called Manchester home for 20 years, building a career lecturing at Manchester Metropolitan University. She started a family in Whalley Range with her partner and they have two sons, Arthur and a six-year-old Dessie. But now, something invisible is now making her and Dessie's lives harder — so much so she's considering leaving Manchester altogether. Three weeks ago, he was caught unable to catch a breath, and Hilary is wondering if Manchester is the right place to bring up her children. You can read the full piece from Ethan Davies here.

Fans of the Gallagher brothers watched on in horror as they were forced to make a quick choice between splashing cash that would get you a pretty nice holiday or watching their chance to attend a gig of a lifetime slip away - all while the Ticketmaster timer ticked on menacingly in the background. But it turns out that ticketing isn't the only concept dynamic pricing has been applied to. At sports bar The Director's Box in Manchester city centre, punters have been asked to stump up an extra few quid for a pint during busy times including the Europa League final. When one customer ordered one pint of Birra Moretti lager and one pint of Beavertown Neck Oil IPA during the fixture, his bill came to £15.80. But when the M.E.N.'s Ste Topping visited on Wednesday evening (June 11) to make the same order, the bill came to £13.80 in total. You can read his full story here. It's already a hit in London and now it's coming up to Manchester - thanks in part to Gary Neville. Grind said they had been searching for their perfect home in the city, and it came thanks to the former Manchester United star.

After a week of beautiful sunshine in Greater Manchester we must pay our penance and have a thunderstorm. The Met Office have issued a 13-hour thunderstorm warning from 3pm on Saturday to 4am on Sunday. Ahead of the extreme heat, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issued rare amber heat-health alerts across the whole of England, which will remain in place until 9am on Monday (June 23). The UKHSA warns that the whole health service is "likely" to be impacted by high temperatures, with a "rise in deaths" expected. You can read more here. Whether you agree or find it laughable, parts of Manchester have drawn comparisons to New York on more than one occasion. And recently our tourism writer Liv Clarke went to see the Big Apple for herself. While there she went to see the High Line, the 1.45-mile-long linear park which follows the route of the former New York Centre Railroad spur. It was the inspiration for Manchester's Castlefield Viaduct park, which like the High Line, breathed new life into an unused piece of railway infrastructure, transforming a 150m section of the grade-II listed viaduct into a green can read her thoughts on the comparison here.

For years the larger-than-life telly personality has given us viral moment after viral moment, from her quick-witted outbursts in the Celebrity Big Brother house, to her no-nonsense approach at telling people just how grim their homes really were on How Clean Is Your House?

HelloFresh launches Father's Day menu with beer pairings
HelloFresh has released a new Father's Day menu off the back of research that shows that 57% of people find their dads tricky to buy for - and 46% of dads say they've received gifts they didn't want or use. Each dish on the menu has been paired with craft beers, from Thornbridge. HelloFresh and Thornbridge are giving a few of those who order the new Father's Day menu the chance to win a crate of Thornbridge beers to enjoy with their meals. Any other HelloFresh customers looking to purchase Thornbridge can use the code 'HF20' for 20% discount off the paired range until June 30. Birra Moretti is also celebrating Father's Day by offering a pairing to the HelloFresh Chorizo and Tomato Spaghetti with their Sale di Mare lager. A selection of customers who order this dish will receive a complimentary beer in-box. Mimi Morley, Senior Recipe Development Manager at HelloFresh, said: 'We know that Father's Day can be tricky, but our new Father's Day menu gives our customers the means to create a delicious celebratory meal with minimal fuss or waste. We also understand most dads just want the opportunity to spend time with their family and what better way to do so than over a delicious, home-cooked meal.' James Buchanan, General Manager for Thornbridge Brewery said: 'While wine is more commonly paired with food, craft beer can make a delicious accompaniment to any meal. The pine and citrus notes of our West Side Glory IPA, for example, balances the richness of HelloFresh's decadent mac and cheese and helps to refresh the palate between bites. We've worked closely with HelloFresh on its Father's Day menu and hope to inspire people to opt for craft beer over wine when celebrating Father's Day this year and beyond.'
