14 Problems Only People From Manchester Will Understand
7. Your Love/Hate Relationship With Chorlton
Most of us have been there, some of us have even lived there, but all of us at some point or other have slagged off Chorlton. You only need to have been on Twitter the day Costa Coffee opened on Wilbraham Road to understand why the place and its inhabitants get laughed at so frequently. Chorlton, youre a nice suburb, with some lovely places to hang out, but why must you be so easy to ridicule? Youre like the posh hippy kid at school that that moved up from London and keeps getting beaten up. We want to stick up for you, we really do, but then you turn up on non-uniform day wearing a tie dye kaftan and well, you dont really help yourself, do you? Remember when Chorlton tried to stop people using cash? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UokDGtZ_kd4
