    I love buying knockoffs. They dont have the name brand, but if you are careful you can get a decent product for a decent price without a designer name on it. I got a Coach Legacy style bag for less than 20 dollars about 7 years ago. It was manufactured exactly the same way with the same kind of leather as the branded product. It was the same right down to the stitching and hardware. Made in China same as the Coach Legacy bag costing close to 200.

      You guys have better commercial candy than we do here in USA. Hershey's has ruined it all. UK KitKat cannot be sold by any one here is USA. Because Hershey only wants us to eat the bastardized, chemical tasting version they manufacture here in the states. Cadbury has turned into a schlock product too.

    I'm surprised Cheetham Hill has closed down for good, it used to get raided every 6 months then as soon as the police left the shutters of the shops would re-open. Gangs of Asians would peddle smack in broad daylight as young kids walked past shopping with their parents, it felt like a lawless area. It was thriving in its day 1000's of people from around the country would converge looking for a cheap deal now it will just be a ghost town or demolished and turned into housing.

      What was once slightly out of the city centre is now prime time city centre. As its grown and grown the land is worth more than it ever has and that is why Cheetham Hill has finally been permanently closed permanently, the council could have done this 20 years ago but it served them no purpose

    I bought some Kickers shoes from round there decades ago. They looked real enough, dirt cheap, lasted me ages. Right shit hole of an area, it was filled with trade only shops but on a Sunday some were “open to the public” conveniently.

    I used to travel up to Manchester occasionally to go here.
    It was always a bit mad when you'd be in one of the shops and the shutters would suddenly come down and you wouldn't be able to leave until what I'm guessing was the Police patrol had passed.
    I'll admit I'm more than a bit surprised it's actually stayed closed.
