Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

Of course Liverpool’s high port taxes played its part and were much resented in M/cr. So much so that the ship canal was built. Scousers resented this, feeling they had been diddled out of their due. Should not have been so greedy. Enmity between Liverpool and M/cr followed.
Scouse venality played a big part in the demise of Liverpool docks. That trade goes elsewhere now, Preston being a big beneficiary.

Some people think that it's a relatively new thing, disliking the dippers. And from a footballing perspective this is almost certainly true. It's only in the last few years that their name has pinged up on the radar again after about 30 years of footballing wilderness.
But the general dislike of all things Scouse goes way, way back. I remember grandparents saying never trust a scouser: they are lying, thieving, unscrupulous people with no morals whatsoever.

Naturally this is not indicative of the entire population of the city of Liverpool: of course not. One bad apple and all that. But that was the general feeling when I was growing up.

Years later I became a guitarist/vocalist and I applied my trade throughout the south east: pubs, clubs, wedding receptions, cruise ferries, etc. And then the Channel Tunnel came along. An influx of European labourers, carpenters, plasterers etc seemed to appear almost overnight in search of work.
Many of these transient labourers were Scousers. And it was meeting some of these people in the clubs and pubs where I was playing that reinforced the stereotype that I'd grown up with...and some!
I'll not go into detail but I can assure you after every gig the locals would watch over my gear as I went to and fro putting the amps and cabs etc into the van.

These people would routinely steal ashtrays, beermats, empty glasses - anything they could get their hands on. Now why the fuck would you want to steal a beermat, FFS!

The tunnel was finished and opened to the public in the mid-1990's, but the sour aftertaste of the visiting Scousers is still being experienced by those that remember the late 80's early 90's in the Garden of England.

In a former life i used to run sales/canvassing teams from derby up to the north east, pretty much the whole of the north. I had some rum lads from gateshead, leeds, derby, salford, blackpool, all over. Proper rum lads, scrapping with each other, always trying to pull wool over your eyes, could be a pain but usually once they knew theyd been caught out theyd smile and wink. One thing, any rows were forgotten about next day.

Then you had scousers. Fuck me, total and utter different breed. Would lie, lie, lie again and lie some more, were monumental pains in the arses, unscrupulous , untrustworthy. Nasty. My MD in the end banned them from the office.
Eventually we fucked anything west of warrington and south of wigan off. That included skelm, st helens, runcorn etc. wasnt worth the hassle.

If that happens the media will be full of how unlucky the dippers were, and not a word about how good Fulham were.
Reminds me of the days at the rags under the pisscan.

It wasn't McAlpines.
It was Wimpey who employed all the Irish .
Don't you remember the initials -


We
Import
More
Paddy's
Every
Year

Yeah, I remember that, but still think it was McA.
The song McAlpines Fusileers is not an historical source, but it’s the best I can do at the mo. It charts the story of Irish emmigration to England.
McA built Maine Road, which made them the greatest construction co ever!

I used to work in Ordsall back in the 80s, so the Daniel Adamson Road I remember was just near to Weaste bus depot and Mode Wheel Road.
I never knew who he was until about 10 years ago.

I only found out a few years ago as well. I googled it out of curiosity.

And this socialist myth..they act more like Tories with their blatant 'out for themselves' attitude. Not exactly looking after their brothers and comrades! yet they start calling us and others .....Tories......a lot of them are pure mental. Never heard of the Co-op or Emily Pankhurst have they!!
