Sat in the Three Lions after work, the local British Pub, and awaiting a very late Mrs CA as I do every Friday, I ended up doing my best Billy no mates impression. At the next table were 3 older couples (must have been old because they were older than me) and they were chatting with the waitress as she took their order. They announced that they were all originally from England and when she inquired as to where one bloke piped up "Gods Own Country". I wonder where I thought to myself, until he proudly announced, Manchester!
Should I have outed him or glassed him? Instead I just sipped quietly on my pint and listened to my stomach grumbling while they all tucked in to Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas and I waited patiently for Mrs CA.........

I did exactly that Brin. Don't know where the violent thought came from. Must have been when I was last back there and witnessed a fight in Dodworth MWC between a 60 year old and an 80 year old.

Manchester nicknames:
"Cottonopolis" – originated in the 19th century, in reference to the predominance of the cotton industry there.[79]
"Granadaland" – coined from the region's commercial TV operator, Granada Television, which is based in the city at Granada Studios, it was also used as a moniker for Manchester itself, especially in the media world.[80]
"Gunchester" – name attached to the city by media in the 1990s because of the high incidence of gun crime in south Manchester.[81][82]
"Madchester"[83] – the name arising from a musical scene in the city in the late 1980s and early 1990s; and which has been attributed to Shaun Ryder, of the Happy Mondays[84]
"Manchesterford" – portmanteau of Manchester and Salford, began as a fictional setting for Victoria Wood's 1980s series of sketches on BBC TV, Acorn Antiques,[85] but gained colloquial popularity, especially on the gay scene and was immortalized in iron and song lyrics during a 2005 staging of a stage musical version of the TV sketches.[86]
"Rainy City" – Manchester is often perceived to have rainy weather.[87]
"Manny" – shortened version of Manchester.
"Warehouse city" – also emerged as a nickname in the 19th century thanks to the large number of warehouses constructed (1,819 by 1815), particularly concentrated in a square mile around the city centre. Many of these were noted for their scale and style.
