14 Problems Only People From Manchester Will Understand

10. Psychopathic Geese On The Canal

Manchester was once at the centre of the global cotton and textile trade. The city's rich industrial past has been preserved timelessly in our wide array of waterways.Today's Manchester residents have access to a wide network of canals, docks and quays; some quaint, some brutalist, all home to geese. So it's important to remember that a chilled out stroll on one of our many beautiful canals can get very real, very quickly if you€™re not careful. All it takes is for one goose to decide you€™ve looked at his signets the wrong way and it€™s all hissing (him), flapping wings (him) and crying behind a dog poo bin (you) while you pray for him (your anatid overlord) to go away. He€™ll go when he€™s ready and he wants you (the cowering weakling) to remember this. Goose Attack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFC6-Sc8zUI
