solo4652 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) A friend's just emailed me saying she's on her way to mannieland. I've never heard of it, and neither has Google. I'm flummoxed. Can anybody help, please? PS. My friend's from Liverpool - is mannieland scouse slang for somewhere, maybe?
