Salford may be a city in its own right but to the rest of the population not living there or speaking up for them, anything inside the M60 is Manchester. The same is true of anything inside the M25 being classed as London. You can try and educate people as much as you like, but most people don't really care.

Another lesser example are places like Hessle. People think this is Hull but it isn't, it's actually in East Yorks (although this is not really comparible as Salford is a city).

In the end, people don't really care. Greater Manchester = MAnchester and there ain't a fat lot you can do to change that, proud as you may be about Salford.

My comment is aimed at the populous of Salford, and the PR dept at Salford. An area as large as it is with very minimal support is disheartening.

And thanks for the hubby reference, this means budgie is the woman

Wigan is in Greater Manchester so are they Mancs too??

This is funny when you consider that Leigh is just a small town in Wigan
