We moved there from m Hulme in 1965 when they pulled the old houses down. We thought it was luxury, a garden, three bedrooms and a bathroom and inside toilet. As you say rough but everyone took pride in their houses and there was a good community spirit. My parents still live in the same house, they bought it in the right to buy scheme. Sadly people don't seem to look after their properties the same now.

Some families just didn't care. I remember some gardens with mattresses, old cars, couches. Most were happy to have gardens, though. Hedge cutting tools salesmen made a killing in Wythenshawe! I moved there in 77..I seemed to have millions of friends right across the area. Moved out in 83 and those 6 years were brilliant. Northern Moor...it's actually an "up and coming area". According to the MUENWe moved there from m Hulme in 1965 when they pulled the old houses down. We thought it was luxury, a garden, three bedrooms and a bathroom and inside toilet.

I still speak to some fellow blues from Wythenshawe...they all have fond memories.
Why are you only focusing on Child Benefit?I posted you a link and you didn't seem to want to read it.
If child benefit stops at two children, how are families of "the great unwashed" incentivised to have children?
Will it bump them up the housing list?
Yes. But when housing lists are massively oversubscribed and families are on those lists for years without gaining a property or spending a long time in temporary accommodation it's not much of an incentive.
You're falling into the trap that was set by Tory politicians who decided they were going to tax bedrooms and make disabled people with degenerative conditions have repeated tests to get their benefits.
I expect this to go completely over your head.
For the feckless workshy degenerates who choose to have children they can't afford and who are incapable and unwilling to raise those children with care and responsibly then two children is plenty enough for them to easily spend at least 20 years choosing to work minimal hours and receiving optimum benefits.
Child Benefit is a trivial amount compared to what they're receiving in TC/UC and other associated benefits and other free shit.
The trap you and the other leftie liberal useful idiots are falling into is failing to understand that those tories and capitalists you hate so much are actually using the profligate benefits system to enrich themselves and their Corporate paymasters and rentier chums... extracting money from the prudent and productive and handing it to the feckless and irresponsible to spaff away on shite and pay inflated rents to private landlords.
The benefits system has now become just another form of helicopter money to prop up a corrupt and failing capitalist (Corporatist) system, if it wasn't so profligate and open to abuse by certain claimants then those most deserving of help from it would find it easier to access and more generous.

Yay! Another virtue signalling simpleton who's incapable of having reasoned debate on a nuanced issue so just resorts to name calling and abuse.Flat screen TV’s and iPhones lives on. Some folk are just cunts.
Wasn’t it just great and the indoor too. My Dad telling me to not let anyone push in front of me in the Tittertons queue on a Christmas Eve for the pork pies. Also the amount of times my Dad used to moan that everything in that shop when weighed, always added to the extra half a pence. My Dad said the it was “the biggest fiddle going” with the scales by the manager:)Civic market we called it when I was growing up in Benchill. Great it was and cheap as chips. Do you remember the indoor market as well? Great seafood stall in there.
Was it Pendleburys or something like that? My first swimming costume was bought from there too.Yeah...and i remember a little sports shop just on the outside of the precinct. I used to buy my Adidas Jogger trainers from there. Ten/Twenty quid I think. Civic was always a bit rough but I liked it. Loved living in Wythenshawe.

As expected. A balanced view. As I said before, you're obviously very happy with your own life.

You're an incredibly thin-skinned person for someone who throws insults out so freely.
Highlighting my own use of spicy language after you were first to use abusive language and name calling.As expected. A balanced view. As I said before, you're obviously very happy with your own life.
Self awareness and critical thinking aren't really your strong points are they.
