Inhabitant of Liverpool, England. Quite a distinct and complicated group and as I am related through my mother I will try and go through positives and negatives Positives: 1. Very friendly people, towards tourists and their friends, once one becomes a mate, they will never let you down and always be there for you 2. Extremely loyal, almost to a fault 3. Stick up for their own and not afraid to stand up for what's right, occasionally goes too far but without the efforts of the people, this world would be a much worse place 4. Dont give up on a course of action once undertaken. Sometimes a disadvantage when that course was ultimately a mistake, but shows a lot of determination to achieve things without giving in 5. Hilarious piss takers, very funny people, especially once they had a few Negatives: 1. Need to learn how to accept criticism, not everything Liverpool has done over the years has been perfect, mistakes have been made but some struggle to agnowledge them. Rest of the country isnt always to blame guys 2. A bit too 'stuck in the 80's' in outlook, still feel as though the media and politics is the same as when Thatcher was in power. Sorry guys but time has moved on, and some need to accept change 3. Tend unfortunately to follow the lead of those who shout the loudest rather than those who show more discretion which doesnt help Scargill, Hatton etc and too many want to be in charge even though some dont have the capacity for it. Not all that tolerant of those with individual opinions who question whatever direction taken by the massed majority 4. Scouser-wool superiority complexes and tedious debates as to what constitutes one or the other. Bo-ring 5. May be good at taking the piss, but any counter response and often the eyes glaze over and the red mist comes down. Some not always able to differentiate between banter and abuse However, for all their faults, much rather be in Liverpool than Manchester, Is a city of character and verve despite all the misfortunes that have befell it, and the people, in the main reflect that
