00:00Hi I'm Theo with Manchester World and I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking
00:04people about Manchester and the reason for that is due to the recent
00:07developments here some people have started calling this the London of the
00:10north so we want to know what the differences are between northerners and
00:13southerners whether people would rather live up north down south what they think
00:17the benefits are of each of them and really is Manchester the place to be
00:21everybody's so friendly I have enjoyed seeing the city grow over like the last
00:26few years you know because I've got all the cities in England it's certainly
00:29worthy of it it certainly deserves it but it's a big cultural history and like
00:33to take less focus away from London is certainly not a bad thing because it
00:37seems like all politics for the most part it's all focused on London all like
00:42the big money projects or whatever like I know there's a couple of things that
00:45co-op line got built here but it just seems like England revolves around
00:50London really so it's nice to move it away from there and like just give
00:55representations at other cities really so I'm a big fan of it personally and
00:58it's a it is small big town but it's easy to find everything that you need
01:05and what you see and I like that it's not so polished yes like it is definitely
01:13nicer here will say like I'll go go to London or walking around there's
01:18everyone's head down super fast walking whereas I'll go and get my morning
01:21breaks and I'll have like a conversation with whoever's there yeah
01:24there might because it's more student workers and even more inclined to have a
01:27conversation but I've noticed that a lot more coming up yeah a lot of things the
01:32pubs it's very nice pubs Manchester is such a soulful city and one of the
01:36things I have noticed is it is getting a little bit more sort of like corporate
01:39and industrial specifically in areas like Deansgate yeah and I would be
01:41really disappointed if they did anything to like areas like Northern Quarter or
01:44just like some of the other just slightly cooler areas of Manchester like
01:47just don't make it too polished but I mean I think developing it's good but I
01:50also slightly wonder if it's going in the right place like I think we should
01:53solve some problems before we just start building stuff like if you have the
01:56money to do it I think there's definitely a better use for that money
