Afflecks' angels
If you love shopping as much as you love the environment, fear not. There is a place in Manchester where eco-warriors can maintain their place in the style stakes with a clear conscience. It is, of course, the city's Northern Quarter, which is home to dozens of vintage and second-hand clothes boutiques, as well as the legendary fashion emporium Afflecks Palace.
