The Corn Exchange, Manchester

Wasting a little time while my car was in for repair involved a train ride into Manchester and the inevitable coffee stop. Today I decided to venture into the Corn Exchange to enjoy the lovely surroundings, with a coffee courtesy of Caffe Nero, in one of the coolest looking structures I have seen for a coffee shop.
I opted for the cappuccino (to suit the purpose of this blog) as I find the Americano a little on the strong side in Caffe Nero.
It was a good choice, as the frothy milk offset the strength of the coffee nicely, making for a very nice cappuccino, as many are just not strong enough. I was able to sit and enjoy a lovely cup of coffee, while having the extra experience of watching SKY TV record a scene from the comedy series Give Out Girls. Signs around the mall suggested that the public should be aware that they may be filmed while in the building, but I think I was far enough out of view to not appear in the background.
