Could have expanded more on the music scene. Manchester was home to many great bands: The Smiths, New Order, Joy Division, The Stone Roses, and Oasis, just to name a few.
Great bands? Oasis? ha ha they should be called The Dung Beetles! as for the smiths and new order very very dull and depressing lyrics i guess they were reflecting their surroundings
Pretty sure Ian brown was born in Warrington and the smiths are from Salford same as happy Mondays neither of which are in Manchester, typical mancs always claiming something that isn’t theirs
They would if they wanted to score drugs. Picadilly Gardens is grim. No idea why, according to the narrator, it's particularly appealing to women. Bizarre comment.
Without Manchester there would be no such thing as the weekend as we know it! The Manchester reformists campaigned for mill workers (mostly children) to get a day of on a Sunday and eventually the rest of England followed suit and eventually the working week was reduced from 7 days to the 5 day week many of us enjoy to this day! Long live the weekend! #Love❤Manchester🐝

It's a common UK mix -- Manchester has fabulous Victorian and Edwardian architecture interspersed with the dreariest Modern architecture imaginable built to replace Blitz rubble.
I relocated to Manchester for a year for work. Living in a houseshare in moss side felt like surviving in a war torn third world country, I literally had a dude get acid attacked outside my house and a shooting further down the road within the same month, not for me 👍🏻
@@keren9322 I know. Lived in the worst, most violent part of Manchester in a shared house and ... shock, horror ... it was just what everyone said it would be. A bit of research before relocating is always a good idea.
Why should the City of Manchester be the 2nd City, it is only the 6th largest City due to it's population size of just 580,000 citizens, the City Of Birmingham is the 2nd City and second largest City due to it's population size of 1.5 million + citizens and the Birmingham Council is the largest Municipal council in Europe.
@@peterwilliamallen1063 The statistic about Birmingham supposedly being "twice the size" of Manchester is extremely misleading. It is due to how the boundaries were drawn, in reality the urban sprawl of Manchester is greater than Birmingham's, anyone who has ever visited both cities understands this. You only have to walk around central Manchester and central Birmingham to see how preposterous this falsely held Brummie belief is.
I am sorry to put you right but the City of Manchester is only a small City of 50 Sq Miles and 560,000 Citizens compared to the City of Birmingham which has an area of 150sq miles and a population of 1.5 million Citizens, as usual of Mancunians you do not know the difference between the City of Manchester and the Greater Manchester Metropolitan County, two different thing mate don't get confused and do a bit more research and yes I live in Birmingham and have Worked in Manchester which was very depressing typical Northern City, and sorry to disappoint you the City f Birmingham has been totally rebuilt and is very prosperous.
@@peterwilliamallen1063 again, you have not understood what has been written, the city boundaries are misleading as they are not a true reflection of the city proper. As for manc being more depressing than Birmingham please don't make me laugh, brum looks like manchester did 25 years ago, nice try though! 😂
@@Belisarious5-600 No mate it is you like all Mancunian that do not understand the difference between the Metropolitan County Council of Greater Manchester and the City of Manchester and it is only the ACTUAL CITY OF MANCHESTER that is counted not Greater Manchester, so yes it is only the area with in the City limits that are counted mate and is not misleading, if you want to go down that road I suppose you could class the West Midlands Metro County Council as Birmingham as it was originally was going to be called Greater Birmingham with a population of over 5 million citizens containing 3 large Cities of Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Coventry and other large towns such as Walsall, West Bromwich, Dudley Metro Council, Halesowen, Solihull, Cannock, and Sandwell Metropolitan Council and a load more small towns in between, but sorry mate you seem to not have visited Birmingham as where as the City of Manchester is totally built up looking like Coronation Street, with in Birmingham's Boundaries there are over 150 parks and green areas including two very large natural parks, the Lickey Hills Country Park and Sutton Park given to Sutton Coldfield by Henry 8th, Birmingham City Center has now been totally rebuilt and is about to be greened up with trees and shrubs and even now Birmingham, not only being the UK's second Largest City is Europe's greenest City and youngest in age of t's population and looks nothing like Manchester 25 years ago, try visiting Birmingham in person in stead of imagining things mate our City Center is totally modernised and is expanding towards East Side ready for when HS2's major station opens in the City Center, there are more miles of Canals in Birmingham than Venice and when East Side is complete the BBC are opening a brand new Studio there, Master Chief is moving to Brum and new Film Studios are being built in Birmingham in the Digbeth Area also after the most successful Commonwealth games ever held in it's history in 2022 in Birmingham, Birmingham has been chosen for the venue of the 2026 European Athletics Championship games the first time hey have been held out side of main land Europe and Birmingham now is the Athletics HQ of the UK, so no matte the City Boundaries do show a true reflection of a City or Town as that is that City or Towns Boundary, do some research mate like I do before rabbiting on about a load of rubbish, and like me who has visited the City of Manchester, try visiting the City of Birmingham a good place to start would be Cadbury World at the Cadbury Factory in Bourneville Birmingham.
The down side of an improving city is that too many people start moving in and it eventually becomes expensive and exclusive. No it's dreadful folks, don't come here!
Well said Ian, I used to love going into my city centre but now I avoid it & feel like an outsider, I'm simply either not posh enough or not up for aggro.
@@ashyclaret It's not what it used to be, full of fake northerners & like you , you usually get ripped off for a pint - try Chateu neuf du pap next time 😉
The many murders are never publicised. Have you tried to get to Liverpool airport. Manchester nightlife is the best. Don't go to Piccadilly gardens the junkies that are concious will beg & stab. Lake disrict 2hr 30 mins. The rest is true.
