    Might not be your right but it is right :D

    Manchester is still the most liveable city in the UK, according to this year’s Economist Intelligence Unit annual global liveability index.

    It’s the highest ranked city in the UK in 38th place – down three places from last year but still ahead of London, which could only manage 48th.
