Goodbye Manchester

Oddly enough, this is one reason why we're still here

and the fact it's a great place to live.........everything on your doorstep.

I’m this far these days, and feel it’s not far enough.

It doesn’t appear to be mate.
This is my new view:

I'm near Hartshead pike...love it and the walks. Walk to daisy Nook and Park Bridge nearly every day.

Are you on Lily Lanes, I went to Hartshead the school the new Estate is built on. We used to run up to the Pike on our Cross Country run, ahem, 53 years ago. There used to be a little tuck shop in the Pike selling sweets and drinks.

I walk up Lily Lanes but I'm on that same estate. St Albans drive.

Yep.
I've lived in much better places that are not as 'hard' as here. The wife says my personality changed when we moved here from the soft southern south coast, and she was right. Manchester is a tough place and you have to be on your guard all the time (at least i do). I love that edge but i'm knocking on the door of 60 now and i prefer a more relaxed enviroment.
The mrs can't come to gigs, bars or other night out things so i rarely do anymore. Probably only do around 8 games a season now as, like another poster said, the wife is now well into City and we have a good time watching the matches together at home.
I may well be getting shut down at work in the next 12 months and if i do then that's it, offski.

Nice and local for the Lord Nelson, Boddies and Holsten Vier at £2.50 a pint! You could well be sat on the site of my old Classroom:-).

Where is Newton Heath?
I've heard people say they're from "Nu-on-eef"

My friend’s from Newton Heath, she moved a few years ago.….to Liverpool.
