I've not been to Edinburgh yet but I quite liked Glasgow, especially that really cool looking shopping centre (I don't remember what it's called) it has loads of cool Harry Potter looking staircases inside

You'd be No1 even if you hated manchester :smug:

I actually prefer Birmingham :shocked:

Also, I'd like to add that I think Liverpool is a better City than London :idc:

Result!!

Princes Square probably?

Yep just did a google, that's it. I'd say it looks amazing at Christmas time

never been there but I dont really like many northern cities.. anything from Birmingham upwards is a no

I love the south :flutter:

I've never been to Manchester but it's one of those places I've wanted to visit since I was a little kid because of Coronation Street, my Mum's favourite, so it was always on. Although now I've grown up I think living in Manchester is as much like Coronation Street as Eastenders is like living in east London. When I do get to go to Manchester I'm booking Annie to show me around.

I'd also like to spend some time in Liverpool and watch a match at Anfield.

The street I lived on in Lancs (when my eldest was just a tiny bebeh :hee: ) was exactly the style of terraced house that Coronation Street has (except with small front gardens, not right on the street)... and funnily enough I remember thinking at the time... it's actually a really ANTI-social type of street. Like the worst place for a soap? Because the houses are all connected there's little or no garden to the front so you don't really "see people in the street", and the gardens at the back of the houses all have tall (like 8ft+) walls or fences between the houses. It seems like it's all very packed together, and yet, in 18 months living there I swear we barely glimpsed a neighbour :joker:.

Corrie vaguely resembled real life Manchester years and years ago but not now. The show is stuck in a time warp.

I grew up in a terraced house, like the one you had, with a front garden, but my experience was quite different. I was 3rd generation on one side, and fifth generation on the other side to live on the same street. I had grandparents at No14, aunties and uncles at 50, 59, 70, 108... we knew everyone, they were all Mr and Mrs, we never called older people by their christian names. It was kind of like a village... if you forgot your key when you came home from school there was always someone to take you in. There were several elderly people who were invited to Christmas dinners and checked on in bad weather... we all seemed to care for each other. Of course, east London isn't like that anymore. Nowhere is, I suppose.

That's okay, I am too.

Like bowling clubs? Have you ever been in a bowling club?? It's like walking into the 70's, absolutely ****ing mindblowing :joker:.

:joker: Where the hell are those?

I like it, friendly and a lot to do
