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.
The correct answer !dont agree. people from places like rochdale or wigan arent mancunians. the region is huge and manchester itself is separate from the surrounding towns, each with their own identity. to me your mancunian if your born or live in manchester itself. I'm from stockport, with manc parents and would class myself as a stockport lad.
raised in Cheadle Hulme , now live in heald green ,don't class myself as a manc, that's a bit common, I live in the heart of the Cheshire countryside :)
us to love town for shopping and nights out.
yes in Cheshire hahahaIs that the Heald Green next to Wythenshawe or a different one?
yes in Cheshire hahaha
like sols as wellbest chinese chippy anywhere in Heald green - hung wan.
I hear they have huge sausagesbest chinese chippy anywhere in Heald green - hung wan.
Born in Wythenshawe but raised in Sale. I would identify myself as a Mancunian although I'm well aware it's classed as Trafford. The term "Manc" is definitely a derogatory scouse term.
You normally hear it used in sentences like "you Manc bastard" I don't know. I just tend to say I'm from Manchester.I've never considered it as such.
Scousers isn't a derogatory term is it? Thought it meant they ate scouse.
Failsworth has a Manchester postcode M35, and the vast majority of Failsworthians would say they are from Manchester. We do however pay our council tax to Oldham, and our MP represents Ashton.
I would say any place with a Manchester postcode is part of Manchester.

I know plenty of lads from stockport, stretford and tameside that consider themselves mancunians and are to every indicator.dont agree. people from places like rochdale or wigan arent mancunians. the region is huge and manchester itself is separate from the surrounding towns, each with their own identity. to me your mancunian if your born or live in manchester itself.

So someone who has Korean parents, whilst holidaying here in Manchester, her mother Drops and gives birth to this person.
They are born in Manchester.
Few weeks later they flow back to Korea, never to return again.
She's a Manc, yet some dude who's born in Gorton, lived all his childhood in the shithole, makes a good living for himself and decides to buy a nicer house in a nice suburban area of Greater Manchester....isn't Manc now?
Lol, forget postcodes, Government defined district zones and all that shit.
Fuck The Government and Royal Mail.
Or BT with the 0161.
It doesn't mean shit.
On a daily basis in town I'll come across a multitude of different language speakers, people from all over the world, people who own apartments in Beetham Tower that have no previous connection to Manchester whatsoever.
Daddy is some rich Chinese businessman so bought his daughter a holiday flat in Manchester.
She's more Manc than me because I live in Bury?
Lol...
I'll always associate myself as being Mancunian, due to family historical ties and where I've lived and worked.
Travel to the other side of the world and that's when you realise where you call home.
In years to come maybe the Chinese immigrants who own most of the flats in Beetham Tower will consider themselves Mancs and will embrace the Parker coats, repeatedly use terms such as Rrrrrrr Kid, Alright fella and so on lol
