        Many have Yorkshire accents.

            Manchester is not recognisable to me from what it was even in the late 90's.

            I think its is one the best places to live and work and I have been around the world quite a bit.

            Don't really want to work back in London again if i can help it but I know my next contract will more than likely be there.

              The same could be said for many cities one way or the other. Leeds used to be a bit of dump back then but it's a great place now.

                Liz Dawn, however, is from Leeds.

                  That too. I would expect more to sound like Ryan Giggs and Terry Christian.

                    Giggs was born in Cardiff, Bez and Sean Rider should be in Corrie, they could run the garage doing cut n shuts and dodgy MOTs.

                      Just been a-googling, I knew Shaun Ryder was from Little Hulton, not far from Bolton where I'm from, and a total shiitehole and ruff as fook, but I didn't know Bez is from Bolton, just doesn't have a Bolton accent at all.....
