This Cesspit of a City

[mancityvstoke]

Just been in town and parked in that multi storey car park near tib street.

Two blokes , one wrapped in a sleeping bag and his mate just dropped his keks and had a shit on the pavement

The dirty ****

Tbf that tired arguement always dies a death, as if you did get these people doing street cleaning jobs then technically they are a paid workforce, so entiled to the minimum wage which would be a drain on local goverent and therefore lead to job cuts of said services.

A viscous circle, as some businesses found out when this was tried and the general public felt they should be paid faily for their work not the dole of £40 or whatever it is

But then we could make prisoners do it, you know like a chain gang maybe

I think it would be a fairly fluid circle, but I take your point.

It depends how you look at it. If you're well off and happy to step over the beggars on your way to the flashy new restaurant that costs £££££s to sit down, then yeah, I can see how you might think that today's Manchester is an agreeable place. Superficially at least, it's a booming city. Some people are doing very nicely out of it.

On the other hand, it's lost its soul. The Manchester I knew and loved is dead. Eventually it will just be a mass of concrete blocks, and a few wind-swept "public spaces" that will be monetised as soon as someone figures out how. And everywhere will still be covered in litter and chewing gum, because no one gives a shite.

Enjoy the Circus (and similar unique pubs) while you may, because the writing is on the wall.

This is bang on .

It's not just fly tipping like these sites around Manchester:

It is also just the general things like chewing gum/vomit/piss/shit stains on pavements that look terrible, especially in a town or the city centre. Chewing gum should be banned from being sold, or at least Wrigleys and other manufacturers should buy in their own city centre cleaning teams and get the chewing gum off the pavements:

That last chewing gum pic is how i imagine PEG's tactics board to look...!

Did he wipe his arse?

I walked through NQ / Piccadilly Gardens / Market St yesterday at 9am and for the first time ever was actually scared to be in the city centre. It was horrible; pissed up / high homeless people either screaming at each other or maniacally laughing or completely out of it. Where do you even start to try to change things? A friend of mine is involved in Booth St Centre but they can only help those who want to be helped :-(

Sounds like the Emptihad on a match day!

 

[peoffrey]

I wouldnt speak to you either mate :)

So you just crack a joke to avoid dealing with the point in hand?

I met loads of Mancs during my first spell here and heard the same story again, again and again. Everybody indifferent and resistant to conversation from a stranger.

I was befriended on my first night out in Failsworth and was offered the hand of friendship in Clayton pre and post match. Doesn’t happen in Clapham!
