Are you a manc

ok. we have discussed the connotation's of being a manc

so what's this thread all about then?
 
Born in Harpurhey, and lived in Blackley before parents moved me away to East Lancs.

Now in North Lancashire. Lost the Manc accent sadly.

Now its a mixture of Manchester/East and North Lancs. As a result no one understands me. Maybe I should go for elocution lessons. Is it possible to re learn Manc?

But still a F***ing massive BLUE!

I was born in Greater London and moved to Manchester at nearly 9 years old. Its been 24 years. Have lived a year in America, three years in Huddersfield at Uni but , yeah, I consider myself to be a Manc. The question is, does anyone else?!

See this is a good one. I like how you consider yourself to be a Manc, but for me you're not one, you're a cockney.
A reverse of this is an example of a former friend of mine. He was born in Crumpsall, like me, and lived in Moston all his life until 18 when he went to Sandhurst Military College. He came home 2 times a year and even the first visit we could tell he'd changed to fit in with his twattish, elite-est friends. He no longer considered himself as from Manchester, instead he told his friends at College that he came from 'a little village on the Yorkshire/Lancashire boundaries'. The 'village' he was referring too was fucking Chadderton! He thought that if he said he was from Manchester he wouldn't be able to fit in with his home county, rich friends. We disowned him after that and the last we heard he was a cigar smoking, port drinking fanny of a man.

But having lived here since i was a child...Whitefield, Prestwich and now Eccles (aagh then thats Salford), my alliance is to Manchester, because its been home for so long. Its home. So now I guess I am not a true Manc being born on the edge of Kent (Bromley) but still within the M25, but I am an honorary Manc I hope.

I dunno about that one fella it depends on if we got her young enough to turn her into a manc, Thats why i was asking about the accent. Think of the likes of Nedum (i could be wrong about this) but the lad was born in a different country and then came to Manchester when he was a kiddie. For me though Ned is a proper Manc that has come good and done well for himself thats loves city through and through.

Depends on your accent.

Well its, there is still a bit of a London twang at times. Folk in Eccles know I am not from there, some others think i am from maybe a 'posh' part of Manchester. But to those I know from the London, I totally sound a Manc.
 
Well, I was born in Germany (dad was in the RAF)
Moved to Stalybridge in 68 when I was 7
And moved to Kent in 2000

Still class myself as a Manc tho cos I lived up north for 32 yrs
