Ultimate battle of the cities (Liverpool, London or Manchester?)

[Redway]

As it says in the title. This isn’t the first thread about this but opinions change and 2020’s probably changed a lot in many ways.

[Strictly Jake]

I adore Liverpool. A lot of my family are from there. A lot of my wifes family are from manchester too but I prefer Liverpool!

[LeatherTrumpet]

I voted Liverpool as London and Manchester are awful

well the nice parts of London like Richmond and HIghgate are ok but the rest is a toilet and just too full of people/ traffic.

[Smithy]

Manchester > Liverpool >>>>>> London

[LaLaLand]

Liverpool >>> London >>>>>>>>> Manchester

[joeysteele]

I like all 3.

However I voted Manchester.
I've always loved everytime I've been there.

[AnnieK]

Liverpool > London> Manchester



I jest obviously.....its Manchester .....>>>> anywhere else

[caprimint]

London >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Liverpool >>>>>>>> Manchester

[Daniel-X]

I’ve only been to London twice so can’t really judge fairly cos I didn’t get to see/do everything. Liverpool is a much, much better city than Manchester though.

Manchester has you there AnnieK.
That's one big plus for it for a start.

Hmmm I lived in Lancs for a few years and I don't like Manchester :umm2:. I've never been to Liverpool.

London... Hmmm... Is a great place to visit but I could never live there. It is just too busy/polluted/overpopulated. However for things like restaurants/facilities/the west end, obviously it is a world-class city.

So yeah. London to visit for a few days, have a few meals and see a few shows.

Then back to the fresh air to breathe :joker:.

[Redway]

You should visit Liverpool one of these days TS.

I agree, London always had a special place in my heart because I lived there for a couple of years when i was younger but I went to Liverpool 2 years ago for a weekend and I just fell in love with the place. I was in Manchester a few years back for a Hen weekend and I wanted to love it because Oasis are from there and I love the accent but I just couldn't warm to the place at all

I totally feel you on the Manchester thing Niamh. It can’t be doubted that it’s got more going for it than Liverpool on the economic front but Liverpool feels special somehow (in a way). It’s not somewhere I’d want to go back to in a hurry or live for any more years than I did but if the circumstances were different its position as the second London of the U.K. would’ve shone through a lot more.

Nickys vote should be cancelled as he doesn't know what Manchester is really like, so it's 8,5,7 :smug:

Maybe we could all explain WHY ??

It’s pointless stating that Manchester is better than London or the opposite without justification...

Why? (Thread-bump.)

Liverpool’s nichely-beautiful, home to some-of the oldest established communities and there’s a slice of every side of life in the city but in terms of the latter London generally just has more. Rochdale’s pretty okay though (and anywhere that produces a show as great as Waterloo Road was has to be given credit).

Manchester has MediaCity, Corrie and decent shops (all of-which I really like) but the atmosphere of the city in general is just a bit grim and toxic for me.

[Mystic Mock]

Birmingham.:dance:

Seriously though I'd probably pick London because it seems to have most things in the country.

[bitontheslide]

I never liked liverpool any time i was there. London is just too big and inconvenient to get around. Edinburgh is a delight, it basically has everything, all within a very short distance but Manchester is my favourite for its abundance of choice and people

[Niamh.]

I'll be heading off to Liverpool for a weekend in a couple of weeks :hee: (via Manchester)

[Redway]

You’ve got to check out Baltic Market, Niamh. It’s amazing.

Is that near that Peaky Blinders bar? We stayed around that Baltic area last time we went

It is quite close to that, yeah. 😊

Edinburgh hands down..
Then London, then newcastle.

The thing is only one of those cities is part of my question-poll. I know discussions are fluid and-everything but we’re not talking about Edinburgh or Geordie Shore-land, not in this thread.

[bitontheslide]

excluding edinburgh is a big omission though

I'll leave you to it then.

[Niamh.]

Never been to Edinburgh, just Glasgow and Aberdeen

[Redway]

What’s Edinburgh even like?

[Swan]

That's a tricky one, i mean you have awful people like Slim from Liverpool, awful people like myself from London, and lovely people like Annie from Manchester.

[Redway]

Come on, parmy. Tell us a little more about Edinburgh (I’ve been once, I think, but don’t remember much). I was a little hasty in writing off Scotland before.

[The Slim Reaper]

I actually thought Scottish folks didn't like Edinburgh for being too English. Not a problem for Rangers fans who are loyal to England and the crown, but the decent scots at least.

[bitontheslide]

edinburgh has everything within a short walk. As i'm from glasgow i hated it by default, but then many years after moving south i lived and worked in edinburgh for a year or so and loved it

[LeatherTrumpet]

Edinburgh is a poor man's Glasgow

Edinburgh is tourism,

Glasgow is realism

Edinburgh is no patter

Glasgow is patter

and, honestly, its not even close

Yeah, I don’t know about that.

[Redrose]

All/Neither should be separate.
