I thought Manchester would be a sh1t hole from all the stories and north south banter.
Had 2 relocate there 2 years ago and could not believe it, absolutely loved the place. Had an apartment on deans gate and worked in king street. don't knock it until you have actually been. Pisses all over London and I'm a southerner!
Bugger -the deliberate ploy of telling southerners how crap it is in the north didn't work.
Stay out - it's ours!

Manchester benefited a lot from a couple of Paddies driving a truck full of home made explosives into the city, parking it outside M&S and blowing it up.
The City centre was a dump but it's quite nice now.
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

I used to ADORE Manchester... it really was a cool place to live. Then, not long after the IRA bombing, the Hacienda disappearing, Moss Side being bulldozed, it went fookin' crap. RIP.

London is now a better place to be.
Aaah the Hacienda. Halcyon days of the late 80s/early 90s.
Agreed, Manchester used to have character now it's a glorified theme park.
London is more "real".
Indeed, I've lost count of the amount of times an interviewer had to leave for five minutes, turned up late, fecked up his questions etc and I'm still supposed to want to work for them?
