Stockport Residents Happiest in GTR Manchester

It's 'official' -out of ALL the areas where you could live in Greater Manchester, Stockport residents are the happiest with their location.





Not only beating EVERY other part of Greater Manchester, Stockport came second in the UK survey only losing out to Harrogate.

Said resident Mr P.Pann "It's great living in Stockport! We have all the road and rail infrastructure necessary to take us away from this dump."

However an unamed source within Stockport Council said "We are very proud of coming second in a national survey which for once does not mark Stockport as a failing local economy with the highest number of empty shops of any comparable town!"

So there you have it, Stockport is the best place in Manchester to live!  Or is it? Has Stockport only won because people living there have very limited aspirations and extremely low expectations?

    Are they truly happy, or like many troglodytes, simply unaware of what they are missing out on?

      They look over the border to Tameside and think "Thank God I don't live there"

      Or even Harpurhey, God forbid having Pat as Councillor - what does that say about them!

    I for one would hesitate to live in an area which is described on its Council's own Leisure and Tourism website as

    "A bit smelly, and the people are slow and talk funny"

      The smell has been partly cured, the Lib Dems lost a few seats -hopefully in the next Local elections they will loose even more.

    If they are unaware of what they are missing, they could still be happy. After all, they say ignorance is bliss.

    I agree with Mr Pann, Stockport has excellant links to the city centre and other parts of the country. I can even go to Newcastle from stockport.

      I'm not sure that the ability to get away quickly from a place makes it desirable?

      If you read the following, I would suggest the ability of getting away from somewhere quickly is rather a good thing!

      Although the description 'bent and rusty with the pin still in' could also refer to the residents round there
