I actually had a lovely days sightseeing in Liverpool just before coming to Oz in late 2007. It was a lovely sunny early winters day. Fantastic views over the entire region from atop the cathedral. Some beautiful architecture in the city centre and around the docks. I was really impressed and it was much better than how i had imagined it would be. Now if only they could do something about that accent ;)

Ahhhh.........Liverpool.

Fond memories of the International Garden Festival which I think was the first one in the 80's.

Remember driving past Strawberry Lane and through a very black and burnt out Toxteth.

The Adelphi hotel was good and seeing the Liver Bird. Missus even got to steer a ferry on the Mersey.

A stroll up the road to a local fish and chippie one night......fark.......if looks could kill :eek:

Not to mention the classy shopping...........

Just because it didn't have the benefit of being rebuilt courtesy of the Irish,unlike Scumchester;)

I think that just means they use knives and forks.



Chained to the tables of course.

TheOriginalMrDreamy was an engineer for MANWEB (the leccy company) - because they all had extra aeriels on their cars for their radios (ahhh those heady days before mobile phones) they were often mistaken for the police when they ventured into Toxteth.

The solution was simple... get there before 10am to do their work, because the riotingdolites would all still be in bed (unless it was Giro day)

(Actually, those double aeriels were fun for him when he picked me up from my work's do in Manchester.. people trying to get in his car because they thought he was a taxi. I was also 10 minutes late, he didn't like that he wasn't invited, and I managed to come out of the club through the wrong door which was actually a hotel entrance and it all lead to a very frosty journey back home..)

I was in Liverpool last year and thought it was a great place. Certainly a lot of development going on and the place was heaving, the people are really nice too. The areas around the city are f**kholes though, they look like the Luftwaffe has just visited.

Re: Liverpool
 

Best city in Britain bar none. Friendliest, funniest & most down to earth people I've met ...

I am slightly biased being an Evertonian.

Re: Liverpool
 

It's only popular as a weekend destination because it is dead as a doornail during the week. If you want somewhere lively in the week (outside of London) then go to Nottingham. :thumbup:

Liverpool does have some nice building in the middle though.

Re: Liverpool
 

I studied there for four years, four very very long years, nuff said! :sneaky:

Re: Liverpool
 

Hitler studied there too.






Is that the end of this thread? :ohmy:

No wonder he wanted gene selection.:D

The trauma of having studied art there seemed to have stayed with him for the rest of his life.:unsure:

Re: Liverpool
 

Of course everyone knows that was Glasgow.:huh:
