No.
I can't really feel proud of something that I had no input into or control over. I certainly wouldn't have any issue with telling people that I'm from Manchester though.

I am. Born in Manchester, and spent my first (nearly) twenty years in Moss Side, then Longsight. I'd have no hesitation, if anyone asked, where I'm from, in saying that I'm a Mancunian of Irish parentage.

Absolutely proud to call myself a Manc. Born in Moston, lived half my life in New Moston until I moved to Rossendale. Whenever anyone asks where I'm from the answer is always Manchester. The next question as we all know will be who do you support and the default answer is "the only team that are from Manchester and they play in Blue".
you sure they are saying kentish ;)Am I a manc ?
Born in 1960 and lived just in didsbury, just across the road from Fog Lane. We left when I was 5. Dad worked at Fairy Aviation, mum at the Cake Box on Fog Lane.
I still class myself a manc. People in Kent say I'm a kentish man, something I strongly disagree with.
I become more proud of be a manc on a daily basis, it's my roots, my dad's roots, my grandads roots my great grandads roots.
As RadcliffeRic says I hate that the team from Trafford use our name. I seem to spend my life explaining to the plastic rags around here, that they aren't from Manchester.
Parents from collyhurst and ancoats they moved to Langley in the late 60s where I was born, apart from a glorious 10 year stint in the Royal Navy and a disastrous 3 years in Blackpool courtesy of my first (practice) wife always been a Manchester lad.

I was proud of the city and it's surrounding areas but one quick walk round Manchester now will confirm it's nothing but a shithole.
