Just had a little argument on facebook.
It seems than some of my friends think GM dosn't exist and that Manchester is in Lancashire. I was born in 1982 and I don't think of myself as Lancasterian in anyway. I am a Manc that lives in the old Lancashire/Cheshire border. To me Sale and Altrincham is 100% a suburb of Manchester, even Alderly Edge feels it is even though I know in Cheshire proper.
I personaly would like to see the entire Greater Manchester area (excluding Wigan) become a city in its own right. It would stop the sillyness of people quoting Manchester of having a population of just under 400,000.
I would still want to retain the LAs so Trafford would still be Trafford it would just be a part of the wider city.
Essentialy I would change the marketing of Greater Manchester rather than the politics.
What do others think?
I get quite annoyed when people talk about them living in Cheshire when it turns out they live in Heaton Moor just on the border of Levenshulme or Burnage
