It is also a great city to go to university - not that I am biased or anything (being an alumni).
Manchester is the 6th cheapest city to go to Uni, although we do apparently spend more than average on alcohol.

A shocking watch. Salmonella at rates which are totally unacceptable in the UK. And at some mass production food factories workers forced to wear nappies because they aren't allowed toilet breaks.
Dispatches went undercover to reveal the worrying truth about the production of American chemically washed chicken. US politicians want agriculture to be part of a post-Brexit trade deal, but there are worries it could lead to lower UK animal welfare and worker safety standards.
