The Furry Capital Of The World

Where would it be and why?

Well as far as the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are concerned, I guess (begrudgently) London fits the title.

However I would state a case for Manchester calling. I make no bones in admitting I have complete bias, but I stand proud of being part of the Mancunian scene; things are moving in the city's favour from a successful fur convention, a monthly furmeet that is gradually being improved quality wise and a growing community in the wider county of Greater Manchester. :)

Manchester has certainly exploded recently with furs and the proximity of Liverpool, Preston, Chester and Leeds can only benefit the satellite city. I haven't been to the monthly furmeets but I guess they can go a long way to improving the furry reputation of a city, like they have done in Newcastle. The thing with London is that furries suffer like everyone else does in this country, the media is just far too Southern-centric, as is the job market and opportunities. Again, as Manchester starts rising (which it has done economically in the last few years), I'm sure furries (and other groups) will rise too. See, political debate at 10:50 on a Saturday morning. Marvellous.

Why fuck London? As a city it is a little over-rated (or are other cities under-rated?) but it is still a special and cool place.
