Burnage is ok especially the southern extent of it – there are a lot worse places. I would take Burnage over anywhere in Salford.

Burnage should be pronounced the same way as a posh person says 'garage'. Burn-aage.

Go north. Prestwich is the answer.

I've been a Stockport native for the last 14+years. It's ****. The silver lining is that it's easily ride-able to the Peaks and commutable to MancLand. Other than those it's a dump of the highest order.

Prestwich is the answer.

But whats the question? Do you drive a Volvo? Are you in possession of a foreskin? 😉

That's Sedgely Park. It acts as a fire break between Prestwich and Higher Broughton. A sort of Kosher moat. It stops the walking dead getting too far north.

Prestwich is mostly full of second generation Irish with teflon suits and that mad wire wool hair thing going on.

Miles Platting if you like daytime drunks on the bus.

This is from a flat in Burnage/Whithington area, a touch too pretentious for moi.

You could always look north of the city centre. Some of it is actually quite nice. Running water, inside toilets, electricity, the lot!

I have heard stories that all three in the same house is a bit of a rarity.
Workwise I'll be travelling and with a flexible timetable, so rush hour traffic isn't going to be a problem.
Keep the suggestions coming. 🙂

I'd look further north. Ramsbottom, Helmshore etc. I'm in Simister which is quiet in so far as it has two pubs and a post box and nothing else. But I like it.

He's a bit closer to the Same Yet. Corner of Croft Ave. (just moved back in after being in France for a few years)...

I'm about a 100m away.

Does he ride a bike?

He has one but I'm not sure he rides much. You've probably seen him or his Mrs or kids walking their dalmatian.

Random Chorlton fact No.1
The Co-op funeral parlour which was formerly a Theatre once played host to the BeeGees.

Quite apt when you think one of there hits was ........Staying Alive.

I live in Sale and have done for a while. The town centre is the pits and the main drag on the weekend can be like the wild west. Having said that, it's handy for Town, has good schools and in general the housing is good. I live facing onto the canal (anyone that is familiar with Sale should be able to figure out where) and it's lovely. Our problem is that to move up we're looking at another 100k to the next 'level' (avoiding 3 bed semi's and the like).

I don't know why but I've always found Orthodox Jewish women cute. Driving through is like a virtual pron mag. Wierd. Afterall they all look like young Barbara Striesands.

Arry' Prestwich is WYorkshire borders 😉

That, my perverted friend, is the weirdest thing I have ever heard. Ever.

Prestwich Tesco on Friday afternoon is nothing like the Playboy Mansion after a delivery of Es.

MrsHora once pointed out that most of them are wearing wigs and their clothes are 'M&S circa 1980' but Jewish girls are cute. FACT. 😈

Hello from a Chorlton / Disdsbury border dweller (Barlow Moor) - it's ok here, got the Trans Pennine Trail on the doorstep, Didsbury and Stockport one way, Chorlton the other. It's a fair old ride to the peaks from here, not gone that way yet - did ride TPT to Liverpool a few weeks back, was good fun.
