velo army Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 (edited) I'm in Manchester right now and I'm from Lanarkshire, so I'll christen myself the resident expert on this thread. The burds in Manchester (cannot comment on the more tinky outposts like Burnley) are superb, whereas Lanarkshire lassies either look like extras in a George Romero film or have the hourglass figure of Jupiter. Lanarkshire isn't filled with Brexity little Englander types, but loses points due to the aforementioned sectarian delineations. Carluke and Larkhall seriously bringing us down on that score. Lancashire also has better pubs. Lanarkshire (pronounced "lahn-aik-shur") isn't as far away from the Sparkling Silver Metropolis though, so it wins in a split decision.

I lived in Bolton for a bit, it’s nice enough. I lived in Farnworth then Horwich for a while - nice is not the 1st adjective that springs to mind. Compared to Burnley though, aye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 15 hours ago, Jim McLean's Ghost said: Manchester isn't even in Lancashire. Manchester was part of Lancashire and so was Liverpool. Upper Lancashire included Barrow in Furness, Ulverston (birthplace of Stan Laurel and also the modern kilt) and Hawkshead (on Lake Windermere). The county had a larger population than Scotland. That all changed in 1974. On the same note, Glasgow was part of Lanarksire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
