When it comes to free stuff, it seems Mancunians prefer to err on the side of caution
Manchester is being hailed as the most sceptical city in the UK after a third of people said they would turn down £1,000 for free.
However, Mancunians come out on top when it comes to being the most suspicious in the country after 29 per cent said they would be very sceptical of any freebie, followed by Liverpool, Leeds, London, and Glasgow making up the top five.When it came to money, 29 per cent said they would refuse £10, which increased to 32 per cent for £1,000. Mancs also said they would refuse a free cup of coffee , a bunch of flowers , and even a car .
In order to test the results, Betfair Casino set up an 'everyone's a winner' pop-up pinball machine in Manchester city centre. While promising that every player would get a prize, dozens walked passed the machine instead of playing their hand. “I was out shopping with my sister and walked past the shed because you always think there’s a catch. But I’m glad I came back to give it a go.”
