If some of the previous editors saw this sort of thing they’d be fucking fuming. Not even in content just in layout.
“the world’s first passenger railway” has me IRKED 
Oystermouth, Pen-y-darran, Stockton & Darlington… news to me if any of these are in Manchester

Marks & Spencer started in Leeds market didn’t it?
It’s where the expansion took place or something? Look we won the War of the Roses can’t have Yorkshire claiming things.
I’m not having Warburton’s foisted on us. Tolerate that, and before you know it we must carry the van for all of the ills imposed upon the world by Bolton. Amir Khan. Ivan Campo. Multi-Kay culpability, Peter and Vernon. Be careful. Down this road lies only madness

Manchester’s crowning achievement is how much bullshit our lists of firsts always involve and no one ever seems to get called out on it

We should sneak a couple in for fun, see if we can get them into the public realm.
The neverending backslapping has come to do my nut in. Don’t think any other provincial city in the country feels the need to constantly big itself up.

No Lisa Stansfield, for shame
im sure stanley chow’s mum thinks he’s as important to the world as nuclear physics
Why do 10CC always get erased from these lists?
A great band in their own right but as owners of Strawberry Studios absolutely central to the legacy of loads of Manchester bands as well as all your 70s/80s City & Utd football anthems and err.. St Winifred’s School Choir recording there)
Love Will Tear Us Apart would not exist without 10CC/Strawberry
