Mark Thompson entertained the burghers of Manchester last night at the CBI North West Dinner. He's building up his new media aphorisms ("One day tv programmes will be as accessible as books - people will be amazed they used to disappear"). He also teased BBC MediaCity refuseniks - "I can't move to Salford as I'm a vegetarian".
The Reverend William Cowherd had his church in King St, Salford, and 1809, preached a sermon advising his congregation to refrain from eating meat. His advocacy led to the foundation of The Vegetarian Society, in 1947 - its headquarters are in Altrincham.
However, a search through the Society's list of approved vegetarian restaurants produces none in Salford. On Yell, we are offered Milky Dream, a kosher/vegetarian restaurant in Prestwich. On Yelp, the veggie eateries come up well away from MediacityUK.
