Knew a lad back in the 80s who delivered truck-loads of washing machines all around the north. Every time he had to deliver in Liverpool he was told (i.e. threatened) by the receiving warehouse to drop the trailer and come back an hour later to actually check in. Needless to say, he was then always a few machines short. He then had to write down the manifest. When he reported it back to the main warehouse, they’d just shrug their shoulders and write off the missing machines as ‘damaged in transit’. They all knew it was just the MO of having to deal with scousers.
My dad drove for Hotpoint in the late 1980s after years of general haulage work involving lots of European and middle east work. Whilst working for Hotpoint out of Trafford park he would sometimes do house deliveries in Liverpool. He was threatened at knifepoint twice in Liverpool and they attempted to steal his lorry. Silly bastards didn't know how to operate the higher and lower range gearbox they had on lorries back then and so dumped the vehicle about 200 metres from where they had taken off my dad. Having seen events unfold he calmly walked over and drove his lorry onto his next delivery. My dad is 86 years old and has been a deeply committed Christian from childhood and for sometime was a shop steward and always taught his 8 children to look beyond people's faults and see the best in someone with the exception of scousers who he says god will forgive him for "hating those odious vermin".
 
My dad had green grocers in Moss Side back in the 60’s. It was an immigrant area and his customers were either the tail end of the Irish influx or, in the main, from the West Indies. All good folk one and all.
My dad catered for those from the West Indies by stocking mangoes, yams, cooking bananas, sugar cane etc. Fruit and veg that wasn’t generally available from the wholesale markets in those days.
Thus he’d order it and buy it directly from the docks - but the cost of the extortion / backhanders demanded at Liverpool meant that he’d drive to Felixstowe or London to get his stock - and that was in an ex-post office Commer van in the days before motorways, so it was a major undertaking every time.
He’d rather do that than pay a tribute the the scouse gangsters - it makes me especially proud for him every time I remember that, and makes me remember why I can’t stand the feral scouse.
Your dad sounds like a top gentleman.

A lot of port citys are the same. .

They kicked off like fuck when the containers were sealed at the docks :))
 
How this bunch of feral cunts have got a reputation as cheeky scallies is beyond me. They are nothing more than thieving scum and I'd never trust one.
Heard a radio caller today (cockney LFC fan) who, when discussing the booing of the anthem, said: "Liverpool fans are always respectful." This must be one of the most absurd things I have ever heard. Surely not even most LFC fans believe this. They are the most disrespectful fans in the world, probably in the history of football. In fact they pride themselves on it. They treat other clubs and their fans with total contempt (not just City, United and Everton) They would win any trophy awarded for lack of self awareness.
