    The second one's obviously Ian Curtis. He's from Macclesfield, not Manchester, by the way.

    Why do people keep posting these strange quiz questions on here?

    Isn't Bolton part of Greater Manchester though?

    Ian Curtis was born in Manchester (well, Old Trafford), and yes, Bolton is part of Greater Manchester (as is Old Trafford).

    Greater Manchester no longer exists.

    He might have been born in some hospital in Manchester, but he certainly grew up, spent most of his life and died in Macclesfield.

    I know, but the quiz will probably use a bit of both, so where someone was born will count.

    Greater Manchester no longer exists? Since when? :confused:

    I think you'll find it does. There may no longer be a Greater Manchester County Council but the entity of Greater Manchester is still very much in existence.

    Thanks for the Sara Cox answer.
    Well maybe asking a question on one thing now opens up the thread for discussion on another.
    Do not know much about Manchester so will leave you to it.

    Greater Manchester definitely does still exist, I'm from Bury and we have just voted re the congestion charge, and all the boroughs were included in the vote.
    It was only a couple of months ago, but i'd forgotten.
    My postal address though is Bury, Lancashire, there's no mention of Greater Manchester at all.
    Quite confusing really, lol.
