Up until 1887 Manchester was ruled by giant bees known as the 'Giant Bees'. They were propper nawty, they made Attila The hun look like Florence Nightingale. Anyway, late 1987 a bloke called lord Flapstench and his merry men devised a plan to starve the Giant bees out of existence by hiding all the honey in all the bins around Manchester(thats why we have the bee symbol on our bins).
After a ten year hunt, The Leader of the giant bees (Bee Laden) was finally captured after a tip off hiding in the Town Hall by none other than Flapstenches younger brother (Mark Skid), who eventually cornered the Leader and after a brief struggle managed to splat the Bee to the floor (hence the Town Hall Mosaic).
His wife(Kanu Paula Meeof) was put on trial two years later, found guilty and hung.

No problem.
It doesn't end there though. It was rumoured at the time that Bee Ladens younger brothers fled to Trafford to escape . They were also rumoured to be sellin snide cd's to survive. No ones yet found it yet but they supposedly built a giant cd rack in the area to house their cd's.
