The 9 places in and around Manchester where you're most likely to hear a 'proper' Manc accent
From the birthplace of Oasis to the city's iconic Coronation Street - there were plenty of opinions.
Accents - we’ve all got them, and by and large, we’re all ruddy proud of them.
Around Manchester, the ‘Manc’ accent varies wildly. So, at the risk of starting a riot, we asked on our Facebook page where you’re most likely to hear a ‘proper’ Manc accent.
There were plenty of opinions and while there was some sensible debate, you lot had a laugh too, with “Benidorm” among the responses we got.
One person said: “It’s Central North and Central East Manchester. The South is too posh to be fully Manc and Salford is too over the top scall. Now let's all have a fight about it.”
With that in mind, here’s the other suggestions we got.
1. Burnage
Where Liam and Noel Gallagher grew up and Oasis were formed. You can't much more Manc than that, right?
2. Salford
Plenty of you suggested Salford as the true home of the Manc accent. But that debate will rage on...
3. Afflecks Palace
Afflecks Palace is Manchester's treasure trove in the Northern Quarter. Full of great independent businesses and even better characters.
4. Miles Platting
Not too far from the city centre, once recognised as one of the most deprived areas of the UK
