10 signs you're from Manchester

From the way we talk to our music taste

Published 7th Oct 2016

From the way we talk to our music taste, there's many ways to tell if someone's from Manchester. Here are just a few...

  1. You tell everyone you're from Manchester at every opportunity. Why wouldn't you?
  1. It doesn't matter if you've spent a year travelling around India, the best curry you can get is from the Curry Mile.
  1. Oasis wins over Blur. Every time.
  1. You've peered over a wall at the old Coronation Street set.
  1. You spent your weekends as a teenager trailing around the Arndale and Afflecks. Not buying anything... just looking.
  1. Your nights are likely to end up in Canal Street. Even on a week night.
  1. You have taken part in a debate about bread rolls at some point. It's either barms, baps or rolls - still one we're yet to settle.
  1. You're always slightly annoyed to hear other cities have a Northern Quarter. Ours will always be your favourite.
  1. You hear the words "innit" and "our kid" every day.
  1. "United" means Manchester United.
