I used to work for the Council all across the City and I was always most uncomfortable on the South. Longsight, Leve, Withington, Chorlton, all shitholes. Had me van screwed god knows how many times in Hulme and was appraoched by all sorts of tramps in Wythenshawe. Moss side, community spirit? Well they all keep quiet when Old Bill comes knocking I'll give them that.
North Manc isn't exactly posh but don't make out like theres this big cultural divide because there isn't.
Absolutely spot on mate. I'm born and bred North Manc, and moved to Chorlton, then Sale, now Cheshire.
South Mancs do seem to have a superiority complex over their Northern compatriots for some strange reason.
The North Manc response is usually "outside now then, you soft c*nt." Which I fully understand and quite like. South Manchester is full of pretentious bohemian arsewipes who have settled there because they lived on the Southside whilst at University. I don't get this impression from the Wythenshawe people I know, they're a bit more realistic.
If Manchester Uni was on Cheetham Hill Rd, Crumpsall would be like Chorlton and Prestwich would be Didsbury.
It's one City. The best city in England, with the nicest people and best music in the world. So drop the parochial snobbery, we're in this shit together. Up the blues.
South of Wythy is Timperley and Altrincham. Trafford Cheshire. Wythy/ Baguley is border. We hate them across the "bridge"
