Liverpool - is it always like this?

[Ian]

Liverpool is an excellent place, especially for people like me who support Reading FC

I wasn't going to say anything about the 'reputation' for that sort of stuff happening.

Mind you, that might explain the Z-Cars theme then the helicopter flypast - it must have been the Rozzers!

Liverpool is a fantastic, welcoming and friendly city for anyone to visit, hell of a lot of things to do and see. And no you won't get your wheels robbed (Harry Enfield and his mates have got a lot to answer for!)

Not quite true Bob. I'm from Huyton and lived in kingsway where there were 15ft wide grass verges on each side of the road so cars could be parked on drives. About 50 odd years ago the chap living opposite me left his car out over night on his drive rather than park it within his front garden. When he woke up next morning he found is beloved Ford delecately balanced on 4 stacks of bricks. I wish that I could have afforded a camera in those days.

Fifty odd years ago? didn't realise there was a market for stolen model T Ford wheels lot of proud hard working people from Liverpool, got the small minority of scum like everywhere else, generalizing an area because of personal events of over half a century ago is a bit lame in my own opinion

The study of two million UK motorists found that the rural spot of Aboyne in Aberdeenshire was the surprise car crime capital. According to figures fom car insurance firm Admiral, there were more reported thefts in the area per insured driver than anywhere else in the country.

I think you'll find Liverpool in 5th place....

Don't tell me. We are not talking about Bongoplod here are we? Claims that he never tells lies

Blimey, I posted this as a testimonial to Liverpool, only to find I didn't speak the lingo, it was/wasn't a hotbed of crime, the Bongomiester then had a dig in about football, Muz found a new chippy, and now Scousers are fighting.

I'm staying back from the screen in case anything comes crashing through it!

Why do I bother?..........

Well if a hitherto unknown purveyor of fine quality fish & chips becomes known to the masses (and Team Muz) then I reckon the thread had got to be considered a success. We just need to sample said chippy to verify its credentials
