Where's mannieland, please?

[solo4652]

A friend's just emailed me saying she's on her way to mannieland. I've never heard of it, and neither has Google. I'm flummoxed. Can anybody help, please?

PS. My friend's from Liverpool - is mannieland scouse slang for somewhere, maybe?

Is it not Manchester, land of the famed Stone Roses bassist?

I've heard some of my scouse friends call Manchester "Mannieland" Steve.

Sounds plausible

[solo4652]

Yep - My friend has confirmed she meant Manchester. Learn something new every day.

So she comes from livvieland?

Thought you might have plumped for Llanelli being MANnieland Michael

Correct, and Stevie Wonder wrote a song about it.

"La la la la la la lala la
La la la la la la lala la

La la la la la la lala la
La la la la la la lala la".

Mannieland is correctly known as "town" to us locals.
