Good enough for me, a bit like saying that Westminster isn't London...

It is one the outskirts and there is a least 1 waterway if not two between it and what you would call the 'central' areas of Manchester

and the shootings all happen in Chav'sville Road and Doleite street anyway.

Salford isn't Manchester I'm afraid.

Salford lies at the heart of the City of Salford, a metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester, in North West England.

The City of Westminster is an Inner London borough which occupies much of the central area of Greater London including most of the West End

Sure about that? Everytime I read the papers it looks like another shooting spree is going on there. Surely you mean its the Compton of the north or is slowly turning into the Gaza Strip, separating the peace loving south with the heathen northern barbarians

For a city to be great it has to hit both the high high's and the low low's.

SO there you go!

Can't diss Manchester. It's the powerhouse of the North.

In Mancunian currency, that sounds about right.

Yes RIP Ducie bridge but they are building a new pub...linky

This n that still exists (I believe!) there is also one called the Yagdar (or something) not a big fan myself they seem more like a curry flavoured version of a soup kitchen!

but there are plenty of new places popping up in Northern Quarter on a regular basis..

Yeah, I've tried to steer clear of bearded hipsters serving burgers on trowels.

There used to be a few more good places near Band on the Wall and on High Street. I think the big pub there went but the cafe on the corner kept changing hands. Might have to have a wander back into the area one weekend.

Better. Remember when they had decent places for lunch round that area like the Castle & Falcon's half rice/half chips & curry and this n that curry house behind Abergeldies. RIP Ducie Bridge I hear too....
