Really? Where abouts? I used to go to South Trafford College in Altrincham - you know it? You may also know the town where I grew up (and left as soon as I got old enough) - Partington. I think that's probably the town that 'ee-arr' comes from! lol.
Im going to go and download it right now - that's completely tickled me.
Preferable that you think of this song rather than Daphne Moon from Frasier when you think of Manchester, which is what most people say. I love that show, but the woman is not remotely mancunian.
