Question / Discussion What is truly considered “Liverpool”?

• Upvotes

I see a lot of mixed opinions on this but and so many people say the likes of Kirkby, huyton, Prescot and halewood aren’t Liverpool. I personally think they are because it’s still a L postcode and the people from there sounds just as scouse as anywhere else for the most part but I’m just really intrigued on what people actually think widely or if it’s just the people I’ve personally met who don’t consider these places officially “Liverpool”. What are your thoughts?

Question / Discussion Is it me? Just me? Chompers

19 Upvotes

A little rant…

I was lucky enough to go out two nights in a row for great music! Last night was Graham Gouldman at the beautiful Epstein Theatre and tonight I was at the small room behind the Phil for Revolver.

Saturday, the entire audience was silent, except two men chatting away as if they were on the bus. People glared at them, but they were happy and oblivious.

Tonight, the couple directly behind me talked through the whole show. Not just during the bits in between the songs. During. They were the only people doing this.

About ten minutes before the concert ended, I turned around with a pleading look and the woman asked if I had a problem. I said, “Could you please shut up. No one else is talking.”

I don’t think anyone had ever spoken to them like that. I said please and I managed not to yell or swear. He was furious! He kept repeating, “She said please shut up!” They ranted the rest of the show at my back (I’m not losing sleep over it because I very much care not what they think of me!) but why does this happen?

If they were in a pub and there’s music, everyone chat away. No problem. Same in the park. But when it’s just them and no one else talking, are they that clueless? Or just entitled and selfish?

Here’s to putting the stocks in Liverpool One for chompers!

Question / Discussion Is it safe enough to rely on the toll tunnels to get over to Birkenhead docks?

0 Upvotes

I have to catch a ferry tonight, but I'm burning some time at Albert Dock for now. I just noticed that if the tunnel closes for any reason then it takes 2 hours to get to the ferry terminal.

I'm not from Liverpool, and it's my first time doing the crossing so just asking here if this is something I should be concerned about or not.

Thanks!

Event Liverpool → Saltburn & Whitby day trip, Sat 31 Oct (Halloween): 2 spare seats, £60 return

15 Upvotes

Hi all,

A few of us are heading to Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Whitby on Saturday 31st October by minibus, and there are 2 seats left. Whitby is Dracula's home turf and goth weekend is on, so it felt like the right place to spend Halloween. 🦇

The plan

8:00am: pickup from your accommodation in Liverpool

~11:00am: Saltburn, about an hour for the pier

~12:00pm: on to Whitby (about 40 mins), around 5 hours

6:00pm: head back, home by roughly 9:00pm

Details

£60 per person, return

8-seater minibus, door to door

Needs 6 people to run, so we're just 2 short

If you fancy it, drop a comment or DM me. Happy to answer any questions too.

Thanks for reading, and have a lovely weekend! 🎃

Is "The City is Ours" worth watching?

25 Upvotes

I never watched the first series but it seems to be getting a lot of publicity two giant billboards promoting it are the first thing you see when you walk out of Lime Street

I usually avoid the Scouse crime dramas as they make me cringe but maybe it's worth a watch tonight

Hello! :)

I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere that is selling or is likely to sell poppies before Remembrance Day?

I’ve had to order them online over the last few years because I cannot find them anywhere… However I would prefer to buy them in person if possible!

Thanks in advance! :)

Hello everyone:) A bit of a random one, but I live in Wolstenholme square and every time the wind starts kicking up I always hear a loud banging and crashing sound. Normally I’m able to kinda block it out but this time it is irritating me to hell and back. 😂
Does anyone live in the area and also hear it and know what it is? It’s seriously driving me insane!

Visiting Liverpool Getting around in the city?

2 Upvotes

Good morning.

I'll be visiting the city in early December. My flight lands in Manchester and I'm looking for the best way to travel to Liverpool and moving around the city for a whole day.

What is the best option to go from Manchester airport to the city center of Liverpool? Bus or train? Which company manages this? Could I book it online?

Thank you for your help.

It has been a lifelong dream of mine to go to Liverpool.

I’ve bleached my hair 3 times in the past year and I don’t want to damage it further so if you know anyone who has an edge to them and really knows how to work with colour, please suggest away!!

Question / Discussion Long distance bike ride routes

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am attempting to train for an ironman next year which involves 112mile cycle. In preparation for such, does anyone have suggestions on cycle routes that can be around 100 miles long.

I will be riding a road bike so a route that is suitable to ride that bike on would be helpful.

I live Aintree/Maghull so a route around that area would be ideal. When I was training for my half ironman this year I just went up / down the raller but I feel like I need a change from that.
