00:00Hi, my name is Rira Mays reporting for Lancashire Post. Today we're going to ask the people

00:07why they're proud to be from Lancashire.

00:10I like the people. I feel like we're really warm. I like when you walk down the street

00:15someone will always say hello to you. Or if you're on a night out, you'll always get someone

00:19being like, yeah we've got a girl on. I like this, I like that. I like that, I don't like

00:24that. It's weird. Yeah. Rigid.

00:31What would you tell someone who's coming to Lancashire why they should come here?

00:35To come to Lancashire for the scenery. Yeah.

00:40At times of the year, especially autumn. I'm proud to be from Lancashire because of the

00:49scenery, bits of the scenery, and the people, and our food and drink culture. Even in Preston

00:57you can find Mowglies, that's like Misha Katona and stuff. That's like, you know, really cool.

01:03Yeah, there's a lot of variety as well, as you can see up here, which is really nice.

01:07What makes you proud to be living in Lancashire?

01:11Well, the community. Everyone's so different, but at the end of the day we're all the exact same.

01:21You can talk to anyone from anywhere and there might be a bit of banter here and there, but

01:28everyone's just really friendly.

01:31What would you tell someone who is visiting Lancashire why they should come here?

01:37I'd just tell them to come for the people. There's a lot of that.

01:44I've been born and bred in Preston and basically I think the communities are really good with one another.

01:51There's no animosity amongst people. Everyone mixes with each other. The cultures are good.

01:56There's different cultures mixing with different cultures. People from abroad, everyone's really

02:01friendly in Preston. But people that are coming to live in Preston, there are new houses being built

02:05all around Preston. Beautiful houses, affordable houses. And again, like I said, it's a friendly city.

02:11It's a really nice city to come and live in. You could say Manchester, but then it's too busy in Manchester.

02:18Preston, like I said, is very multi-cultured. Different kinds of religions, different cultures

02:24and everyone respects each other's values.

02:28It's where you're born. You always associate with the place that you live.

02:35I think especially with those two, football comes into it because we're so proud of it.

02:39I'm so proud of Preston, he's so proud of Blackpool.

02:43It's having a bit of self-pride, proud of where you're coming from and never really forgetting your roots.

02:49It's nice having that rivalry, like with Yorkshire as well particularly. I've got family from Yorkshire.

02:55You've got to stick up for the Red Roses a little bit.

02:59There's so many things going on. Just get yourself involved. If you move up to Manchester,

03:04don't be afraid to go about, make some friends and all you can do is eat.

03:08People are so nice. It's a nice place to live.
