No accusations, just observations based upon the facts you stated in your initial post.

As it happens I agree with you, London is a complete dump - as are most UK cities once you look past the gloss - that includes Manchester.

If I don't like somewhere I don't go there - fortunately I am in a position where I can make that choice, be it work or pleasure.

It's not what I believe in, it's what I experienced. But if are going to tar all Londoners as two faced arrogant people, in the same light, your welcome to the racist and ignorant people you get in Manchester if that is the sort of people you're happy to be associated with.

All of which would be very valid if you didn't live in South Wales

As I said if that is what you choose to believe then no worries. One thing is for sure I would rather associate with the average Mancunian than you given your persona on here and there is not a racist bone in my body as most will know from my laboured posts on the subject on here.

As I said before, I'm not calling you a racist, let's be clear on that. I'm just using your argument you have with Londoners for your average Mancunian and it doesn't paint a pretty picture! You might like to associate with your average Mancunian than me, that's fine by me, it's no loss to me

Also just to be clear to everyone else, I'm not tarring and accusing all Macunians as racists given how serious I regard racism to be and is not what I truly believe,.....despite how gobby they might be!

And exactly which parts of South Wales have you visited? That's a very prejudiced dig at a very large area - more likely a dig at a nation.


As a side point, my wife is a born and bred Mancunian and even she won't go back

Given that you're a self confessed Londoner, I concurred with that!

To be fair Wales is full of narrow minded bellends.

Even though I am technically Welsh I have also lived and worked in England for many years so am not quite so naive as most.

Worked for a couple of Welsh blokes and I can't help but agree with you.

Although to be fair to one of them his wife was always flirting with me and I did kind of go along with it, used to wind him up something chronic, she was pretty hot too, a slow dance at the works do when we were both a bit tipsy didn't help either.

So as you believe it then you are prepared to accept Belfast and Bradord are better cities than London. No worries, your opinion has been noted for future use

Ooooh...."noted", I'm quaking with fear and anticipation! I didn't express an opinion on the actual poll, but whatever floats your boat. Your noting had been "noted".

By saying I would tell you it was worth squat you clearly implied you felt otherwise.

You need to be a bit more careful of what you write..... hence why I felt the need to point out I am not a racist as two of your posts left the door open on that one too.

I live in Yorkshire but spend a day or two every week working in London. I think it is a great city with lots to offer the people who live there and visitors alike. But I think the overall quality of life my family and I enjoy living in Yorkshire is better!

No it doesn't. It merely implies that you would disregard the poll based on the fact that London placed higher than Manchester. It is typical of you to try and put words in my mouth to support your point of view.

And again for the third time, I very clearly stated that I do not regard you as racist, get over it! Why don't you take this opportnity to make a note of this since clearly like doing so, you can use it in the future.

Well forgive me if I needed to seek clarification of this sort of comment from you:

I think we'll find.you're the one who can be accused of being insidious. As I said you should be more careful what you write.

Why? Because you might note it for future reference? Go ahead, knock yourself out! I don't mean literally of course, just incase you take it the wrong way, I know how sensitive you can be!

I sincerely hope you enjoy your trip back to Manchester.

No, because it could be argued you wrote it implying I am racist but in such a way you could later play the innocent. You assure me that is not the case ergo I am suggesting you should be careful what you wrie. If that is too difficult for you to grasp then there's not much I can do.

What sort of massive bellend devotes all this time and energy trying to prove that his 'own' City is better than another??

Does it really matter that much? We all like different things, it's called choice. I like London despite all its problems, and it has plenty, but that is my choice. Most mature, balanced, adults would be able to see that.

But then F1 is none of those things. He's actually a poor excuse for a troll, evidenced by trying to use this thread to have a dig at Martin, Jon and I, just because we happen to live in the same City. How pathetic.

How empty does your life have to be to spend so much time on here posting utter nonsense?

I suppose if you're a 'single middleaged childless gentleman' who keeps cats and drives a cabriolet you lose some perspective on what is actually important in life.

I think a lot of your 'frustrations' are due to your inability to have children. Though I sympathise, you need to get past it.

Btw F1, don't bother replying because unlike you I'm not prepared to waste hours of my life trying to win some pathetic internet argument.

You crack on and spend half your life on here trying to get a hard on by pointless arguments
