Joe Anderson (Liverpool Mayor)

about 15 years ago I was developing a job next to the echo arena. The job was close to the end but the scaffolder was refusing to take an elevation of scaffold down until I paid a ridiculous final account so we were I stand off. I arranged 15 agency scaffolders in Manchester to go down on a Saturday morning and solve the stand off by taking the scaffold down. All was going well for the first hour when about 5 Land Rovers turned up. I was with my kids as well as it was my weekend not long after one of the divorces. The kids were about 2 and 5. Next minute I am being dangled over the dock water and told I have crossed the line. I was chucked in the water from what felt like about twenty foot and then struggled like mad to get out fully decked in rigger boots, hi vis coat etc. I honestly thought I was going to drown. Took me about twenty minutes to get out and I stumbled up some steps eventually only to be greeted by chief knobhead scouse scaffolder who lobbed me back in.

An eventful morning that was.

christ :/. I heard stories of manchester contractors being chased off but never actually saw anything thankfully.

Couple of years ago I had a chance of working on the design of a conversion in Liverpool. Another contract was winding down so I went along to have a look. Something wasn't right, couldn't put my finger on it, so went off to google and discovered the prospective client was "allegedly" one of the family members in the biggest gang in the city. Needless to say I politely declined, changed my appearance and phone number and went into hiding (OK i've exaggerated the last bit a touch). I have no intention of being tempted by that place again

A few days ago having heard him speak quite sensibly l was almost tempted to post that the Everton supporting mayor of Liverpool was so much better than the Everton supporting mayor of Manchester.

why oh why do we have a scouser who is obsessed with playing the victim as mayor of our city? Sooner he is gone the better.

Only The Times reporting that Anderson, his son David, Hatton and Andy Barr from the planning department have been arrested. Silence elsewhere in the media.
