He hasn't got a very good imagination.

Ah right, that makes sense. I guess the ones who claim people feel Salfordian are generally from the Heights and Langworthy. I lived in Eccles for a while (Monton, Russell Street in Eccles and Snowdon Rd). Most people in those areas tended to state they lived in Manchester rather than Salford.

Wow. I know people who lived on all those streets.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

excellent point.......A Manchester post code does not mean you are in Manchester

M33.... Sale, Cheshire

You lot get far too hung up on postcodes, cities expand, people move out a few miles for god sake.
For such a major British city, you aren't half insular at times, the scousers are the same with all their 'wool' carry on.
You're basically a Mancunian if you live in the region and wish to be seen as such, no yonner accent is permissable however.

On Russell St we lived in the house facing Andy Crane's parents. I lived around 10 houses from Billy Garton's (ex Utd) place on Snowdon Rd. Also lived in Monton Mill Gardens for a few months in a shared house.

I'd agree with this, if your postcode is a Greater Manchester one I.e. M or SK then you're practically a Manc or at least feel like one.

Even though I'm not technically from Manchester, more Stockport and the High Peak, I'd defend it against anyone slagging it off.
