Again out of curiosity, I checked Manchester. Same again, often people from down south leaving some harsh comments about mancs being “uneducated” “anti intellectual” “childlike naivety”. It’s important to understand that for years people from north of the UK and the south of UK do NOT get on or tend to like each other, because they are completely different. We have lived around different people, lived different lives, speak differently, go about life differently. People from the north have not grew up around money. We’ve had to build our own lives without the help from the Tory government that prioritises London, a place where most of the people around these comment sections are so quick to move away from, by the way!! It speaks volumes.
The reason these privileged individuals have a hard time living up north is because they most likely show no respect for life in an unprivileged city. Southerners tend to stay stuck in their ways. The reason our cities look the way they are is because of the lack of funding from your beloved conservative government.
Most mancs I know are hard working, similar to us scousers. Graft to get by. Don't have a lot of money. Don’t live in the greatest conditions, but overall have a great city with cool hotspots. Show respect to anyone of any background, as were multi cultural cities. Have a bit of rivalry with our football teams but apart from that we’re the same.
Don’t let these people cloud your judgement or put you off moving to this city, because it’s all subjective. It depends what type of person you are.
My condolences to everyone that still lives there, and to the people that say they enjoy it…
It’s not healthy to lie to yourself.
Everything you’ve learnt about life goes out the window. The culture here is extremely anti-intellectual. If you value health, learning, or wellness they’ll accuse you of being posh and resent you.
The people are incredibly backwards and xenophobic. They despise anyone not Mancunian and will deny them jobs and treat them differently. They don’t like people who’re “too different.”
They have 0 self awareness or boundaries. They don’t seem to know anything either. You’ll often see them slowly walking across the street like a zombie, aimlessly going nowhere.
The city is depressing and soulless. Most who have moved there live in regret as they have just brought a house in a place that’s essentially hell.
The people are boring and so are most events they hold. If you’re not a belligerent drunk or druggy it’s no fun. This is why students love it.
Work life is miserable as the people have no respect for others. It’s all me, me, me. The service is extremely poor too. You’ll work for companies that have been around for 20 years that have no structure because no one knows what they’re doing or has thought to learn.
No one can drive. It’s actually scary to get in your car every day.
There is a poor choice of gyms and anything health related as no one there values those things.
The only good think about it is the access you have to better towns and cities.
Don’t live here.
It’s ok but nothing to write home about. It’s not London of the north or a powerhouse. It has a small town mentality.
The people are backwards and surprisingly xenophobic. Not just to southerners but to everyone. It’s why the place is so segregated. A true anti-intellectual community.
There’s a strong community vibe here which is why people just take other peoples property without asking.
The areas described as nice generally aren’t. It’s just that the surrounding areas are so bad they seem nice.
I’m not a fan of gentrification but I really think Manchester needs it. It currently has no charm or personality.
I can’t wait to finally leave for good.
There’s nowhere to live as most places are ok at best and the richer people tend to choose Cheshire. The people are nice they have a poor sense of humour as they get confused easily and are pretty boring. A lot of people wnd up leaving and going to places like Leeds.
