Oh my goodness I did not know Longsight market was one of them, its been mentioned quite a bit LOL!!!

Longsight Market is where I go to learn how 'not to do business' or 'the 21 tips on how to run a halal business in a haram way'

[as you can see, I have had bad experiences ... every time ...]

Q manchester is known for taking part in the 3 peaks challenge with qabeelat mass! ...and that's way before QManchester was even a twinkle in AlMadghrib's eye! As a matter of fact, QManchester raised over £1200 of the ~£30,000 total for the Elizabeth Foundation for deaf children! Not a bad effort alhamdulillah considering we weren't even born when the 3 Peaks Challenge was completed!

And, now that we're on the subject, QManchester also took part in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks and are officially members of the 'Under 12 hours' club!

I think we should have a head to head one day, the best of QManchester vs the best of QMass, in a winner takes it all battle of the UKs 3 highest peaks... first past the post are the undisputed champions of AlMaghrib in the North!

How about it QMassives??? Up for the challenge???
