To think there’s just something a bit special about people from Manchester & Greater Manchester

[Yousillybugger]

There just is

"nowhere but nowhere in the world have I found people to be as funny"

So where in the world have you lived OP? I'm very interested in this thread.

Probably some chump who grew up in the Home Counties who relocated there with the BBC or something, and doesn’t realise that working class humour exists everywhere.

Nah, Geordies are best. Followed by Glaswegians.

Mancs are scallies. Or they were when I grew up there! And the music is terrible apart from a couple of Oasis songs. The Stone Roses are shockingly over hyped!

(And some of us do support Utd)

Football, computers, suffragettes. What’s not to love 🤷‍♀️😂

@LindorDoubleChoc I live abroad now, have lived in five different countries and travelled lots (feel a bit twatty saying that, but I have 🤷🏻‍♀️) I honestly haven’t found the humour as good anywhere else

Also the Welsh (South Welsh) are much funnier

@MadamAndTheAnts What?

Went to uni in Manchester, my god, good times. Rain much though? I can remember getting a bus home full of drunk Mancs singing the whole way. This must have been 3am. I definitely didn't dream it (back in the 90s when life wasn't as shit).

I third Glasgow

@JooftheNorth Yes, the 90’s were the peak times..so much rain it’s true

Let's put it this way, never have I driven from Cornwall to Manchester for a holiday.

See also; Rolls Royce, Communists and Vegetarians.

Scousers are much nicer

Yes!

@BrilliantUsername 😂It’s not about that though. Cornwall is beautiful, but I wouldn’t want to have grown up there in comparison (my parents now live there, it’s a beautiful place it’s true)

I 4th Glasgow but also love Scousers and Geordies ❤️

Yeah we are all wonderful there used to be a q note in the 90,s 061the state of the nation obviously it's now 0161but those that know ,know

I like scousers too and Irish people, Mancs included, these are my three favourites

I've lived in a lot of places and Manchester is the one city that I have almost zero fond memories of. I was there for 3 years and it's the only place I lived where I found it hard to make friends. It was a really lonely time actually. I'm generally very outgoing and made life long friends in every other city I lived in and just could not seem to break through the impenetrable fortress of the mancs. Everywhere I worked was incredibly bitchy and cold and I always felt that people were talking about me behind my back. I'm not a paranoid person and never felt that anywhere else I've lived. I worked all over anchester too, so it was just one place: the posher parts and the not posh parts. My husband felt exactly the same so it wasn't just me. They do make good music though! And I got my wedding ring quite cheaply from the Arndale, so...not all bad!

About as funny as chlamydia.

Bristolians are the best!
Gert lush we are. 😁

Its nice, its no Yorkshire though

Thank the gods 😄

(You forgot to add 'lighthearted' OP. The po faced brigade are around tonight thinking you're being deadly serious)

@Faradalla Sorry you had that experience 😔

My uni city, had a great time there and have very fond memories of it.

If I go to a party and there's a Scouse, Manc and/or Welshy there, I know I'm going to have a good night.

Oh and people from Yorkshire too
