On a recent visit to Manchester, here is what I heard.

  • He's got no money, but going to t'South of France on holiday?

  • He really thought his effectiveness was gonna drag him through.

  • If you mention his name in any Italian restaurant in Manchester, they think he's a god.

  • He's gonna have to wait and see what happens with what's-his-face health-wise.

  • I did say to him, it would be nice if you come, at least I have someone in the car with me.

  • She's alright but her lips are a bit off... she's got a massive nose as well

  • We're on a hen do. The groom is French, so we're wearing berets.

  • Has she told her mum that she's told the police?

  • I was born in Manchester and I haven't been back since.
