    Once I have trawled through the depressing streets of pound shops and cash convertors I shall find myself a little place to wash off the grime in readiness for my meeting in the Stanley Street Quarter (sounds so very nice).

    then back to lovely Hertfordshire before afternoon tea.
    Yes, absolutely! Grapevine tells me that it is quite a famous street

      Remember the four basic rules and you will be ok
      1. wear a light red shirt for LFC, pink is best
      2. secret gang sign, throw your tie over the left shoulder
      3. no gold, wear a big bunch of silver keys ostentatiously on the belt
      4. admit to being a burglar , just like everyone else, but don't try to pretend to be a top dog or second dog, third is ok. So when someone approaches and says 'whaa de fkn hell is all dis??' , just reply, 'its ok, I'm a turd burglar'


      report back.

        I once asked for directions in Liverpool, I was slightly bemused when I was asked in reply,

        "Do you like avocado?"



        (For best results, read aloud in a scouse accent)

                Lots of nice places in the city centre now, always impressed when I visit Liverpool at how much it's changed. Though I don't really see the attraction of the Albert Dock, not sure if it really is world famous.

                  Clearly TWW is determined to earn a podium place for CUK of the month. So I hope today lives up to all his expectations.

                  Go Scousers!

                    I was in Liverpool when the North Atlantic battle celebrations where on and the place was full of Russian sailors cos they brought this massive ship.

                    Later on this bloke starts speaking to me in the street and I fobbed him off, my daughter said 'was he speaking Russian, Dad?' and I had to tell her 'no, he was a beggar and a scouser and was speaking English...'

                      I shall be arriving at Liverpool Lime Street and wondering if I will get stabbed, offered drugs or get accosted for money by a teen with a baby in a pushchair?

                      And also what will it be like after I have leave the station?

                      Thanks in advance..
                      Oh FFS. Check the facts;

                      The gun capital of the North of England is manchester
                      The drug capital of the North of England is manchester
                      The assault capital of the North of England is manchester
                      the car theft capital of the North of England is manchester etc

                      All Home office stats. And no, they arent all committed by scousers. That said, hopefully you'll get a good fisting and you have a wasted journey.
