Foursquare: Manchester is world's rudest city
Foursquare: Manchester is world's rudest cityManchester has been named the rudest city in the world by Foursquare, which has analysed the number of times people swear when leaving tips about places they have visited.
Foursquare's engineering experts assessed the 400 million check-ins it received last year and found that Mancunians' missives contained the most profanity.
Manchester is the only UK city to make the top 20. The only other non-US city is Melbourne, Australia, which is ranked some way below Manchester in 16th.
Foursquare engineer Matthew Rathbone (who is from the Midlands) wrote on the company's blog: "It's good to see that the Mancunians truly are not only the rudest people in the UK, but the rudest people globally, only El Paso comes close."
The top five in the swearing stakes:
1. Manchester, England
2. El Paso, Texas, USA
3. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
4. Bloomington, Indiana, USA
5. Riverside, California, USA

Or perhaps it's the fucking tourists that are the potty mouths here.
Maybe there's more things to curse about in Manchester?
if it was just on the 'c' word glasgow would have won - every c**t uses it through here. Remember the scotland fan on youtube a wee while ago?
