Well stue, sounds like you had a good time and that's what counts. You appear to be gushing with praise for ATC. Sounds like you agreed to pay the fees for going to Manchester, did everything asked of you, if anything were going too fast on final, were actually cleared to land, but then you still got sent around and the plane behind you got to land first. Did you ask why there was a loss of separation? Could be something to learn there.
