Famous UK cities

Doesn't mean they're not famous though. And Edinburgh only famous for its uni? Edinburgh Castle maybe?

Also theres the world famous Edinburgh festival which brings millions to the city every summer....

I reckon London's the most famous, then Edinburgh. I don't really know anything about Manchester so thats why I dont think its very famous.

Manchester's mostly famous for the football team.

man city is not world famous.

Stockport - the destination of the infamous 192: "The Most Violent Bus Route in Europe"

haha don't talk to me about the 192! If I ever need to go to Stockport I usualy get the 23/22/23A because its a direct bus, but if I ever need to get a bus into stockport from Manchester city centre I get the 42, it may take a bit longer but the journey is far nicer.

PS Stockport s perhaps famous for its railway arches.

Are you implying that there are times when, purely voluntarily, you actually want to get into Stockport? The only people who usually voluntarily come to Stockport are souped up Nova driving, chain wearing, WKD drinking idiots called Carl comin to see their 'woman' - some 14 year old slapper called "Keeeeeeeirrrrrrraaaaaaaaaoooohhh" who's caked in make-up and bright orange fake tan, and are sporting a suspicious looking lump in her belly.

I have family in cheadle and gatley so some times have to go to Stockport to change buses. Also there have Richersounds there which is usualy the only reason I ever go to Stockport.

My cousins been in nights out in Manchester probably about 600 times, he has been twice in Stockport and both times we witnessed violent behavior. Stockport during the day is not too bad, full of scallies but then so are most places, I think its at night Stockport is not such a good prospect.

Stockport itself doesnt have too many scallies living there (well apart from areas in the centre like Edgeley, which is absolutely swarming with them). Stockport just seems to have plughole effect - the souless, grey 60s architecture dragging the scum in from everywhere around it.

Well some of the richest parts of the country are in Stockport but so are the some of the poorest Edgely, I did leaflets there once, it has a horrible experience, I got told to f off by some 5 year old bratt. I have never stepped foot in Brinnington but if the stories I hear are true its a very rough place and thats also on the edge of the town. I think a lot of people from the richer parts of Stockport tend to go to Manchester to do their shopping. Scallies however cannot afford to £1.60 or so bus fare into Manchester.

Yer, but 1,000's of Chienese and Japanese people come to Liverpool every day simply to go on the Beatles tour.

Ooooh...Brinny. Wonderful. Went to see a friend who lived there once. Had a bottle thrown at my head (it missed) for having "f*cking mosher 'air" (it was actually quite short).

Where I lived (one of the nicer parts of Stockport) it was actually quicker and cheaper to get the train to Manchester (£2.25) than to get the bus to the centre of Stockport (£2.80 - or however much a DaySaver is nowadays). In my last couple of years at home, I don't think I went shopping in Stockport once, as I just couldn't be ar*ed with the comments from little scallies I got on the bus, in the bus station, in Merseyway, in the shops, and all over again on the way back. Although I did go every other Saturday to watch County.

Still love the place though. The people of Stockport (who don't fit the description above) are decent, hard-working, honest and very witty people. The scallies themselves are only the result of living in a boring sh*thole.
