'It was all a bit mad. The phone hasn't stopped ringing since Saturday'
U2 rock icon Bono stunned the residents of Chorlton with a surprise visit to the local book store on Saturday afternoon. Staff at Chorlton Bookshop in the Greater Manchester suburb were sworn to secrecy about the visit - after getting a phonecall the day before asking if Bono could come down.
Staff were sworn to secrecy about his visit, and had thought he would just sit in the back signing copies of his book. But instead a jovial Bono spent an hour chatting with staff and fans who got wind of his arrival. "We just thought he was going to stay in the office and sign books and if one or two people popped in we'd do that. But when he arrived they said 'oh no he's going to come in the shop'.
Jo added: "One of our staff baked him some parkin and he absolutely loved it, he was calling it "Bev's parkin". We did a picture behind the counter and I offered him a job but he didn't want one! Jo said: "It was all a bit mad. The phone hasn't stopped ringing since Saturday. We had a limited number of signed copies that had all gone - they all went in the first hour really."
