A quick question

[desperance]

We (in the UK. at least) have a phrase, "all manner of ways". Clearly it means "all kinds of ways", and that "manner" is a presumptive plural; but it is expressed in the singular form. Which being so, is it correct to treat it as a singular - "There was all manner of ways" - or as a plural - "There were all manner of ways"?

Is this a public event (ie should it be on your web site?)?

Anything else you should be telling me about your schedule?
