Originally posted by Bob Dalek View PostI was alone and there were, I think, 3 of them - at least 2. Cops never caught anyone. It was all a bit quick and as they'd cracked my head against a wall at the beginning of the proceedings, I was literally seeing stars and having a near out of body experience for the duration. I'm not a natural fighter, anyway (I tend to rely upon the stench from my freshly-loaded undies to ward off attackers!), so probably had no chance, even if there'd been 1 of the toerags.
OP, keep yer money well hidden, dont be flashy, keep yer gob shut, be respectful and you will be ok.

Sorry, can't take yer through der tunnel." - and this after them saying they'd get me home!

Originally posted by StellaFan View PostYeah I know what you mean. I went to London a few years ago and someone had my phone away, therefore everyone in London must be trash
I was born and raised, for a while, in Liverpool, my family's origins are there and many of my more distant relatives live there: it's still a toilet.

Originally posted by Bob Dalek View PostIt's a shame about Liverpool: some of the best architecture in Britain; great estuary; near a lot of decent countryside; many world firsts, etc., but populated by trash. Ah well.

A mate of mine had a good kicking one time ( in a friendly Northern town ) and was knocked out, he came round and started to have a pee in the road ( no idea what day it was, covered in blood, etc etc ) . The friendly local plod came along and arrested him for peeing in the road !

Originally posted by Bob Dalek View PostHaving had my head kicked-in in Liverpool city centre, just after having drawn out £100 quid from the cashpoint (I know, I know) about 10 years back, I recommend Southport, still.

Originally posted by rootsnall View PostGet yourself up there and have a look around. I think you'll find Liverpool City Centre is OK. I certainly wouldn't bother commuting from Southport if you are only there for a contract.
