Aye, Thatcher legislated them out of existence because they formed a very powerful resistance to her rule.

My spoon is too big
I'm an exiled Mancunian in Yorkshire. I was born in Park Hospital and spent the first few years of my life in Stretford.

I remeber this well
Born and mainly bred here, living Fallowfield at the moment. I love my city but don't have any illusions, we have big problems here. But I don't know if they are worse than other big cities and there is a buzz about Manchester that makes up for a lot, especially creatively.

Yeah we should go for it fella, I,m alright for mosta Feb I reckon
I was born and grew up in Ancoats. Except for a terrible time living in Coventry in the early 70s I lived in and around Manchester until eight years ago when I moved to Preston where I still live in exile. The guy who I worked with wouldn’t let me record the message on the answer machine as he said I sound like a “south Manchester drug dealer” Cheeky bugger if anywhere I’m from east Manchester!
Still go back on a regular basis to visit friends and go to gigs etc. I also am a supporter of FC United and try to get the their games when I can.

I'm really in Salford but I've only been here just over a year so really don't know where i belong!
I live just round the corner from jambooboo, who I occasionally bump into in Hulme ASDA scanning the cover of NUTS magazine 
Live outside on the south-east peripheral (or just beyond that) but manc is the city I "use" regularly. I live close enough to say Manc when abroad, gives me more cred, well, maybe.
Is Stockport manc? I'd sort of say so, but I'm outside both and would never say I'm from Stockport, not as glamorous.
Although they do have the largest brick structure in Europe there. And a pyramid. At night times it looks a bit like Vegas.

I bloody love Stockport! Maybe because my grandad lived there all his life, and I used to love visiting him.
It's like Manc but less edgy; more feminine somehow. In fact, a night out in Stocky is well-overdue! Tonight methinks!
