Are you sure you're from Liverpool? My grandfather on my mothers side was from Liverpool. Not far from you at all, in Priory road.

I am, yeah. Really? Priory Road? That's very, very, very close to where I am. I don't feel comfortable giving away any further information, but Priory Road really is very near to mine. My accent isn't overly Scouse, though. Obviously, it's scouse, but there's quite a bit of southern mixed in there as well, and a little bit Mancunian, but mostly Scouse. It's a very weird accent I have. A mix between Northern and Southern.

Yeah, he'd be turning in his grave to hear you say that about Londoners and scousers.

He gave my mum loads of grief when she left Liverpool to go to Oxford university. Imagine that, a place at one of Englands 2 best uni's, and she's viewed with suspicion. I really miss him. He was insane, but in a good way.

Apologies about the slow reply - I got sidetracked elsewhere. And, yeah, that's definitely a daunting thought! But the university of Liverpool (is it John Moores? I l always forget) is fine, too. But I suppose Liverpool's gained itself a very bad reputation, so not that many people are keen. Shame, though, really. We do have some really nice areas. I have to admit, though, that my area Anfield is pretty bad. Too many scallies. I mean, I myself am quite chavvy, but they take it to a new extreme.

Yeah Anfield is really bad. Bit of a disgrace really when you're heading to Anfield stadium and about 50% of the houses within a ten minute distance of it are boarded up, you'd think they would do something to the area considering it's a main attraction

A large number of those houses are like that because they were part of the stadium regeneration plan. But the yanks turned up with their "spade in the ground in 60 days," and the rest is history

Exactly. And it's very racist. Literally every day you hear racial abuse slurred at people who aren't white, and I'm sure most of them have it in for Polish people, too. It really is a disgrace. I'd rather live in Toxteth (in a good way - I do like Toxteth). Think Norris Green and Walton are a lot worse than Anfield. Croxteth and West Derby aren't much better, either, but they're really nice in terms of housing. Suppose south Liverpool (Mossley Hill, Allerton, Childwall, Gateacre, Hunts Cross, etc) is the only part of Liverpool that's good in both people and housing. The rest are pretty bad in at least one of those two things.
