If there's any British city that can lay legit claim to paradisiacal status, it's probably Manchester.We asked our Manc photographer Chris Bethell and his friend Bekky Lonsdale to put together a photographic love story to the city for us. It didn't disappoint. Let's hear it for Chris's angels with displaced jaws, everyone (a graying Bez included).Here's what Chris had to say:"'Manchester's got everything except a beach,' said Ian Brown once upon a time. He neglected to mention dignity, however—something a lot of us lose in our youths when we dress in panty hose and lose control of our jaws on a quiet night in."
