I'm
from Manchester, I live in London and I love it. It's the whole world in a city. There's always new things to do, new people to meet, new places to explore. I've never been mugged in London, but I have been mugged twice in Manchester. I don't think that signifies anything general about either city though. One thing I like about London is that the dickheads stay in their own areas. If I'm in Manc town centre on a weekend it's packed full of scallys and twats from miles around. If I go into central London at any time it's full of normal people and tourists. If I don't want to get mugged I don't walk through Elephant and Castle alone at night, easy peasy.

manc, lived in london for 9 years. Got a bit old for the hustle and bustle, moved back. Now I love going for weekend visits. I'm a great tour guide for london. I once convinced my brothers girlfriend that the queen lives on the london eye, and they stop it at night so she can sleep. Although the irony is, thats actually true.
