Whether you’ve been in a relationship for just a few months, or have been loved-up for what feels like a lifetime now, the vast majority of us will admit to there being one position that tends to hit the spot a little more than the others.
It’s just probably not every day that you’re asked to own up to that position for a national survey.
But if it wasn’t for those people being so willing to share with the world, we wouldn’t have been graced with the results of what Greater Manchester’s favourites are.
With Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend, the experts over at OnBuy‘s sex toy division have given the couples looking to spice things up in the bedroom exactly what they’re looking for by devising a steamy survey to ask customers from each town or city in the UK – with a population of over 100,000 people – what their go-to positions are.
So, if we’re looking at the results nationally, it was revealed that ‘Missionary’ came out top (or should we say bottom?) in 11 UK cities including Bournemouth, Exeter, Doncaster and Lincoln, but with that said, double that number of cities chose ‘The Eagle’ as their favourite – a position which is apparently said to have gained popularity after Love Islander Curtis Pritchard brought it to the nation’s attention back in 2019.

Not only did Mancunians join Londoners in admitting that ‘The Eagle’ was their favourite, but 36% of people in the East of England also chose it too.
Heading over the northern border, it seems that those living in Aberdeen and Edinburgh were big fans of the old-fashioned ’69’, whereas 50% of people living in North Eastern cities said they love to have sex standing up.
29% of those in the North West admitted that they prefer ‘Reverse Cowgirl’, but what does Greater Manchester have to say for itself?

Out of the areas qualified to be surveyed, these are the results:
Bolton – 69
Manchester – Eagle
Oldham – 69
Rochdale – Lotus
Sale – Reverse Cowgirl
Salford – Reverse Cowgirl
Stockport – Standing
Wigan – Reverse Cowgirl
When it comes to the rest of our North West neighbours, it was found that Blackburn likes ‘Missionary’, Blackpool leans towards ‘Cowgirl’, St Helens joined Bolton and Oldham in favouring ’69’, and the people of Warrington are proud members of the ‘Reverse Cowgirl’ fan club.
Does this sound about right to you then? Has your top pick made the cut in your area?
Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
