@@tonykelzo8997 Thanks, yeah I can see it now on google maps

Remember the Market Centre? Pure class (if you was a teen or in your early 20's), with those South Asian radio stores which were just amazing - not forgetting 'STOLEN FROM IVOR' (!)

My gf had her handbag stolen at Rotters and I played there in the "Battle of the Bands" competition run by Tony Wilson. I don't remember but apparently The Stone Roses were in the comp too and they won that night, lol

ME! I went to them all!

I remember watching them shoot the scene outside the George Best Boutique. I must have been about 19.

Happy Days!!

That’s your opinion and your entitled to it. I live in M’CR and I see a diverse, culturally rich and unique city. Times change, people change and so do places. It’s about accepting that change for me personally. I bet you can’t explain why you believe it’s a shadow of it’s former self. I also can imagine what your referring to lol 😂

@@HGee420 I just feel it’s dirtier, full of druggies and lost its charm. The local council is a shambles the police are next to useless and it’s a concrete tomb. I feel you are trying to insinuate I’m opposed to other cultures and people of colour, if you are, you are sadly wrong my fellow Mancunian.

@@HGee420yes! Thank you this is exactly what I love about living in Manchester. While I love it’s recent history and such, I adore the diversity and the community.

Looks a dump in this film. It is spectacular now.

Mate, it was a scruffy hell hole back then. If that's what you want to live in, feel free to move to somewhere in the undeveloped world.

@TheBenson51 London has so many cultures, countries you have never heard of since the 60s ,London has been far more multicultural than the rest of the UK for the longest , other UK cities are changing but there is lot of racism and divisions in other uk cities outside of London. London is the first place immigrants come to first when they enter the UK.

There's also a lot of unity between cultures. Especially on TV, in music, football clubs, the NHS, workplaces, care homes, mixed race families etc. Let's not just highlight the bad. You're probably part of the, "multiculturalism doesn't work" brigade

@amgonnafartinyaface Manchester and Birmingham have never been multicultural back the because these cities don't have Ports ,London/Essex Liverpool, Southampton have loads of blacks and foreigners as this is the open place where they come into . Manchester is changing, Manchester has loads of racism and segregation issues same as Birmingham even today people mix with who they know.

Manchester has never been multicultural? Are you for real? I was born in Manchester, St. Mary's. Black dad, white mum. Scottish Grandparents. My primary school, saint Phillips, Hulme, was rammed with black, mixed race and Asian kids. Moss side was very multicultural and still is. My family and friends were very multicultural and still are. Nobody was racist towards any of us cos they'd get tw@tted, simple. Why would we put up with racism? I mean I'm all for freedom of speech and everyone's entitled to their views but if anyone was racist towards us and showed any kind of hate based on just our skin colour - that would not be tolerated.
