Whilst I feel I have come late to this discussion I still feel the need to share my wisdom. North Manchester is a drab and glum place where it rains perpetually on the smog smoke stained run down terrace houses.
The only fun for the youth of the area is to sniff glue or to spark the skegs on their hobnail boots on the still cobbled streets whilst the men folk work hard grinding menial jobs and stop off at the local pub on the way home for 10 or 12 pints of dark flat mild before getting home and setting about beating the wife.
South Manchester on the other hand is a sprawling Nirvana-esque metropolis famed for its enlightened minds and Café culture.
