Bloody social services. It's bad enough when nurses and doctors go on strike but now all the care workers have walked out for 24 hours and Urban has been left to wander around town on his own.

Suprised the bus driver let him on.

The planners want rich people in high rises and the people pretending to be bohemian arty types eating out of bins on street level, it's embarrassing.

There's no point being rich if you can't live near poor people to sneer at.

trust me these people are not rich, just idiots from millenials/generation z led by social media and trends
 
I miss a good old fashioned cafe on the city centre.

Somewhere you get builders tea and cardiac breakfast.

Sick to fuck of places promising a fry up and get cocktail sausage, a streak of fat with a couple of small on the vine tomatoes, a thimble with a bake bean in, along with a fragment of crisp pretending to be a hash brown. All covered up by a big fuck off mushroom and they want me to pay £15 for it. But if I have a flat white coffee made with the beans of a Guatemalan shit monkey it's reduced to £14.50

Well I know that, you have to be to live there, but they are wealthy because of their work, and I drink round there regulary, they are mainly no more common then me or you
being on a well paid job doesn't change your personality

why do you think the establishment are so out of touch, they are born cunts, working/middle class people choose to decide of money makes them cunts.

I drink in the area weekly, most are just a product of society, none are snobs fromm what I see, jist clueless on northern sensibilites.


it is quite funny I have been accused on this site of being envious because of my socialist thiking yet I have never looked at the new residents of ancoats as any different than me, maybe southern and clueless about the north, necer by class or wealth

Egg and bacon butty served on a ceramic plate with a big steaming sweet pot of tea served by someone called Mavis who always calls you "Love".

No arty farty pictures on the wall, just the clink of a well run canteen mate.

I am explaining the street level, and the way the wealthy move about among the detritus they have planted there.

Popping into your million and a half high rise getting away from the stench on the floor is a cunts trick in my book.

Used to frequent Abergeldie and koffee pot (st Stephens square) when I worked in town. Saw the koffee pot was now on oldham st so popped in. Had to wait at the door while waitress showed us to a table it was a very different experience from the greasy spoon I used to frequent. I also find it bizarre that people were queuing at one or two sandwiches shops around the northern quarter for an over priced Sandwich when you can get a decent curry at This n that etc for alot less.

There used to be such a cafe right outside Piccadilly Station. Been gone for years though. They're all serving up rabbit food nowadays. I mean to say; avocado on toast. Seriously, WTF?
