The only bit of Manchester that's like London is Chorlton, which is like Camden Town. I happen to like London anyway, so thanks for the compliment, nevertheless.


Am referring to the fact that the North West media is Manchester centric, my city's own evening newspaper is printed in Greater Manchester & London owned!

That's was I dislike about Manchester and London, its the atmosphere of pretentious grandiose snobbery!
Its the attitude that both cities have, that there both the mutts nuts and other places are just Eartha Kitt.

There's been times I visited both places, in which I felt I was in an heartless and soulless ambience in the unfriendly company of zombies.

NO, ten years ago I though that my city was hell of earth! Am happy that my city in on the up tho am critical and some times cynical about the city's regeneration and how best the council and our new mayor will bring real growth to the city.

For the last 15 years is been the out to town big businesses calling the shots over the cosmetic surgery of Liverpool.
Its infrastructure that the city needs and been crying out of not a fur coat, we need support knickers!
