So to refresh your memory, here are 20 signs that you grew up in Manchester!<\/p>\n<h2>1. Everyone calls Manchester City Centre, \u00a0\u201cTown\u201d.<\/h2>\n<h2>2. Burger King is the meet up spot for everyone as it&#8217;s closest to transport links.<\/h2>\n<h2>3. You have to choose whether you are a Manchester City or United football supporter. (Even if you don\u2019t support any.)<\/h2>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>4. All secondary schools have an unknown rivalry with another school in the area and no one knows how or why it was started.<\/h2>\n<h2>5. Sitting at the back of the bus was a thing when you were younger \u2013 it made you look cool.<\/h2>\n<h2>6. Everyone has used a Clipper card or a Day Rider while getting on the bus.<\/h2>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>7. Everyone knows the song lyrics to Oasis\u2019s Wonderwall (even if it\u2019s just the Chorus.)<\/h2>\n<h2>8. We complain about the wet rainy weather a lot and we always have to keep a jacket on us just in case it randomly starts to rain.<\/h2>\n<h2>9. We can go through all weathers in one day, so knowing what to wear can be tricky.<\/h2>\n<h2>10. Everyone is linked in some way, so you were sure to definitely bump into someone you know on a trip around town.<\/h2>\n<h2>11. Manchester Arndale has changed so much that sometimes you don\u2019t even recognise it.<\/h2>\n<h2>12. You would have met at least one Coronation Street Star while strolling through town.<\/h2>\n<h2>13. Our Mancunian accent is strong, and many people outside of Manchester don\u2019t understand us.<\/h2>\n<h2>14. No matter where you go, you will always compare other cities to Manchester.<\/h2>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>15. We have different colour buses and some are\u00a0really old-fashioned and smell bad.<\/h2>\n<h2>16. Finally turning 18 so you could check out the diverse night life Manchester has to offer.<\/h2>\n<h2>17. Strangers are friendly and actually stop to talk to you or ask you questions.<\/h2>\n<h2>18. Piccadilly Gardens is where everyone goes to sit down when it&#8217;s sunny. Kids also like to run around the water fountains.<\/h2>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>19. Mancunians love to have a good time and are always up for a laugh even with strangers.<\/h2>\n<h2>20. Manchester Christmas Markets is as big as Christmas itself and we can\u2019t wait to see the big Santa light up.<\/h2>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h5>What are some other signs you definitely grew up in Manchester?
