Parts of Stockport are grim- but compared with some nearby areas, to the north, east and west, it’s paradise…
Stockport is better than 90% of the country
Stockport? You should try Oldham, Rochdale or…
[*shudders*]
… Chadderton
Do I have to go through London to get there?
Half?!
Of course I would, sign me up, you’d be set for life doing lectures and events and stuff.
Also how amazing it would be..!
Fuck that moon š®
Yeah, but you canāt really guarantee safety in Stockport.
I wouldn’t either for one good reason. There is fuck all up there worth seeing except the earth.
the moon probably has better weather and fewer potholes than Slough. At least you’d get a bit of peace and quiet away from the M25
Probably cheaper to get a rocket to the moon than a peak time return ticket from Stockport to London anyway
The moon isn’t real anyway.
Why would I want to go to the moon?
Put a tea shop and a curry house up there and Iāll consider it.
There are so many better holidays than a boring trip to the moon. Iād actually find it more interesting if it wasnāt guaranteed safety.
Well there’s no atmosphere
I sure would
Guaranteed? By who?
What are the licensing hours up there?
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Accurate.
I would, not because itās a āfun experienceā but because you can really become a legend. Write your name out of rocks and by the time the next people go up there itās become a historical artefact. Take a bunch of rocks and come home rich. Build a small house out of stone for the sake of doing just that.
While in theory I’d jump at the chance, in practice I don’t think space travel is a great option for a claustrophobe.
But this statistic does seem a bit sus – I’d want to see the actual question they asked, and what the sample was.
What percentage of the people asked this question would happily take a trip to Benidorm? Because thatās worse!
Stockportās not THAT bad
(Comparatively that is)
Half of brits I have met have never left their birth town… And I have seen a lot of brits in my life
why? it would be a grand day out
I’m British and I’d love a trip to the moon. I’ve been to Stockport, there are some signs of life.
Went to Stockport once for a TCG event. I had no desire to leave the shop and if you know card game shops that’s not a good thing.
There’s no viaduct on the moon.
There is in Stockport
Al Murray says the British never went to the moon because there’s nothing to gain and it’s not part of the British Empire.
I wouldnāt. Purely because I legit think it would be too overwhelming an experience for me. It sounds incredible in theory but I get homesick staying at a hotel. I genuinely think Iād have some sort of existential crisis if I went to the moon.
There are pubs like the Blossoms in Stockport that have so much history and character they should be nationality protected.
Why would I want to go to the moon
Could be worse, could be Stalybridge.
I’ll be honest the phrase ” guaranteed safety” is a huge red flag.Ā
Stockport can be a considered a desolate wasteland, but it is my desolate wasteland and I like it here š.
We do produce some good eggs. Tess Daly, Michelle Keegan and Fred Perry.
Weird. I can’t fathom that with the ‘guaranteed safety clause’.
I even struggle with my wife’s point of view that she wouldn’t go to space if it was offered, because it’s too dangerous.Ā
An absolute buffoon if you wouldnāt go to the Moon, the only person Iād let off for not
going would be Karl Pilkington because Iām sure heād have some funny reason not to.
Fuck off, we have an M&S food.
Stockport is a paradise compared to most of the UK.
People live in Birmingham…by choice..or Nottingham..or Stoke.
Will lunch be provided… or….
I would appreciate the opportunity to visit a lifeless grey rock with no traffic.
I’ve lived in Stockport for a long time. Even came back here after a decade in London. When I had my first baby my partner and I discussed moving. We wanted to stay somewhere around Manchester and we drew up a huge list of pros and cons. Then we thought about moving back down South and the only place that ticked enough of the important boxes was Stockport.
I don’t know anywhere quite as well connected to everything. In 15 minutes we can be at the airport (it’s actually 7) or Manchester center, or close to the hills and peak district, or half way to Liverpool, or into Cheshire, or catch a train to London. Or get to several motorways including the M6 (it’s 17 minutes away).
Unfortunately house prices are creeping up and where I live there are now streets with million pound houses which is a first. There’s so much to do, some great history, a huge variety of talent so I’ll defend it to the hilt. Oh and businesses do well here, we have some world leading companies round here.
Yeah there’s some less desirable areas but almost none you couldn’t walk through at night. The shopping center is shit but it’s getting better and there’s a lot of investment to turn the area around the river into what looks like will be some fairly desirable places to live. I’d be tempted once the kids are older and moved out.
I could go on.
Mate I understand that quite a lot of people are suicidal but im not taking a trip to the moon unless at least 15,000 people have gone first and its confirmed to be at least 99% safe.
