For all BBC middle managers thinking of moving up north, of which there really aren’t that many, please be aware of these facts, all verifiable on Wikipedia:
- The last known “art gallery” closed in 1987
- The crime rate rose by 900% last year, driven by a shocking trade in aggravated pigeon theft
- Jack Duckworth reads the ITV regional news every night in a stupid northern voice, accompanied by a dancing ferret
- It rains 434 days of the year
- Going to the theatre essentially consists of a night at the bingo
- They eat KFC for breakfast. In a bowl. With milk and sugar on top
- Nobody watches the BBC

You forgot that you can only access the internet via one branch of macdonalds in stretford.
