Yet another example of how Salford business's and their associates attach themselves to the Manchester brand name. Something I personally believe is becoming a little misguided considering the heightened profile of the city of Salford. (The Quays, The Lowry and Media City for example.) Perhaps about time we changed the rhetoric started gloating about the Salford brand name?

Perhaps manchester city might try and attach themselves to our success

RP if you move away from here you will find the advertising for the Lowry and Media City, states Manchester as well, i like to phone that furniture store on regent rd ordsall, that gives manchester as its address and ask them for directions to get there, normally ends with, "no that can't be right thats Salford not Manchester, i won't bother buying anything if don't know where you are how bad could your products be."

This could also be another case of simply not being aware of any difference (however slight that maybe). I'm doing a project with a few Manchester lads at uni based around Salford. Until I told them (or rather drilled it home) none of them were aware that Salford wasn't part of Manchester or that's it's city in its own right - even though one of them was born in Hope Hospital and another has lived his whole life in Salford. Neither were they bothered.

Sorry chief that says more about him than Salford, I take it he's not studying Geography of History?

I could a reel off a number of Salford lads who count themselves as Mancs. I'm sure you could as well.

I can't say I'm surprised.

Sorry Gaz but thats just the sorry state of people's general education these days.

as planks two short as thick

It doesn't help growing up with a Manchester postcode cause as soon as kids learn their address they think they're from Manchester. IMO the council (or the club!) should be in schools promoting our City. This way people will grow up knowing where they're from and instill a bit of pride about this great city of ours. I hate being called a Manc from ignorant numbties!

Getting parents to educate their kids too. As mine did.

Problem is 95% of parents will say they're from Manchester these days
