That's because you're a poor northerner. How the hell can you say the accent goes right through you?! The northern accent is harsh and sounds scummy and is barely understandable, the southern accent is how you are SUPPOSE to sound, have you ever heard someone of importance talking in your gibberish? London is one of the major cities in the entire world in terms of culture, education, art, music and business.
London has large Irish areas as well (not that that's an advantage or disadvantage).

You, sir, should win some sort of award for being the biggest cretin in the entire world. Im not even going to bother attempting to correct you, simply becuase I feel my intellect will be wasted.
And on the subject of the beatles... in my experience, people who've never heard them properly think they're all 'yellow submarine' and 'octupus' garden'. While these are beatles songs, get yourself a copy of Abbey Road... it's very different and far more enjoyable
(Ringo is a d!ck though... john, paul and george were good musicians imo)
If you're from the south and have never visited, you will always get an inaccurate representation of what liverpool is like, simply becuase your knowledge of the city is based on the media. More often than not, the media like to portray liverpool as a scatty old city with naff all going for it because that's what people WANT to see. (e.g. why print a story about some culture or a state of the art shopping complex such as Liverpool1, when you can manipulate some statistics to show that londoners are cleverer, healthier and generally more amazing than us? It's not a coincedence that these stories are mostly written by southerners).
To sum up, don't knock it til you've tried it.

It is just Edge Lane...since it is a massive area and takes up all of Liverpool you will find the scum trashy chavs....
Scouse Accent- Liverpool is so cosmopolitan nowadays it is ****** unbelievable... It ranges from council estate residents to council estate residents...very cultural...
Liverpool One- just a petty and rubbish version of the Manchester Arndale/Trafford Centre...In fact I suggest you shop around Salford Precint it is by far more pleasing than Liverpool...
Scousers mad about football which is why you see high crime rates I think there is a link between the Liverpool losing nearly everytime and the high crime rates...
In fact lets count it Liverpool John Moores and Liverpool Univesity = 4 ???? :-S
Great Night out- if you want to get killed and stink of piss in the morning
Nice people- Liverpool is now ******** strawberry milkshake everywhere...it just happens to be that the milkshake is red a sort of blood like colour!
So if you wanna visit Liverpool- Make sure you dont get a "blow job"! It will affect the scousers benefits!
I lived in Liverpool for 3 years whilst I was at uni (even though I'm from a town down the road) and I enjoyed it. I think it's a good city and its got alot more to offer than my home town. I think the people are sound as well.

I lived in a rough area of Liverpool whilst at uni and I often walked home after nights out and nothing happened to me. I've been attacked twice in a decent housing estate in my own home town. I'm not saying attacks don't happen in Liverpool, obviously they do, but they happen in every other major city as well.

Cant wait to go Liverpool 1 ;D
I have been actually been to Liverpool 1 and to be honest with you Trafford Centre and Manchester Arndale are far more better...but Liverpool One does not look nice...
Liverpool 1 is amazing.

Are we talking about that same place?
Well?
I might be a little bit biased, but i think it looks fantastic.

Erm...lets count again shall we:
University of Liverpool (NOT Liverpool University, as it's a bit confusing)
Liverpool John Moores University
Liverpool Hope University
Edge Hill University (it's on the boundary of Liverpool and Lancashire)

Haha that was well funny. It's cause he was in the Head of Steam and I said hello when I was with my second year mates from halls. Anyway the DVD man comes past and we werent really intrested but then one of em asks taking the piss, 'Do you have any porno's?'
Anyway he pulls out a huge pile and all us guys found it brillant so we went and got one each, although mine 'Erotic Princess' isn't very good at one point the guys start going to town on her armpits!?!?! Its quite odd.
Quality quality city with a spoilt reputation from a decade of economic destruction under Thatcher and stereotypical views from people who have probably never set foot in the city. I remember one example of many being at uni (in London) and in our common room there was a news report about the whole Capital of culture rubbish and cue the usual comments about shell suits, robbing stereos and being on the dole from poncy kids who have seemingly never been north of the watford gap. Out of about 15 people joking and making comments the number that have actually been anywhere close to Merseyside? Absolutely sweet **** all.
Great city.
Great city.

What is your own interpretation of Liverpool? Obviously people's views who live there will differ to the ones that don't, how do you see it represented whether you live in Liverpool or not, and what is your views on the city?
I love living here and despite world travel being one of my ambitions in life, Liverpool will always be my home. People here have a great sense of humour and are very friendly.
I was prepared for all the scouse-like abuse when I read the op. Seriously, you are all absolute cretins.

Edge Lane = stretch of road = massive???
There are plenty of residential areas, for example in Woolton, West Derby, etc that are not rife with council estates.
I like my scouse accent...la.
Trafford centre = Stupidly expensive, limited range of shops.
Football fans = Crime? So what about Manchester, London etc, where there are also many passionate fans of football?
4 Universities = University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Edge Hill University, Hope University
I've been going to town for years, and, as you can see, I am still alive. And I smell rather pleasant, thankyou.
I wouldn't give you a blow job if you were the last man alive.

Has anyone read this?
In an attempt to influence the members of the International Olympic Committee on their choice of venue for the games in 2008, the organisers of

The city, wearing the traditional costume
Of shell suit, baseball cap and balaclava mask. It will burn for the
duration of the games in a large chip van situated on the roof of the stadium.

In previous Olympic games, Liverpool's competitors have not been
particularly successful. In order to redress the balance, some of the events
have been altered slightly to the advantage of local athletes.
100 METRES
Sprint competitors will have to hold a video recorder and a microwave oven one under each arm and on the sound of the starting pistol, a police dog will be released from a cage 10 yards behind the athletes.
100 METRES HURDLES
As above but with added obstacles e.g. car bonnets, hedges, garden fences, walls etc.
HAMMER
Competitors in this event may choose the type of hammer they wish to use (claw, sledge etc.). The winner will be the one who can cause the most grievous bodily harm to members of the public within the time allowed.
FENCING.
Entrants will be asked to dispose of as much stolen silver and jewellery as possible in 5 minutes.
SHOOTING
A series of targets will be set up to establish the competitor’s ability over a range of disciplines The targets to be as follows: 1 - A Moving Police Van 2 - A Post Office Clerk 3 - A Bank Teller or Securicor Driver 4 - Their next door neighbours youngest child NB - This target to be followed by the ritual cry of ‘I thought he was a Bizzy’ or ‘He pulled a knife on me’.
TIME TRIAL
The competitor who can waste the most of the court’s valuable time before being found guilty will be adjudged the winner
BOXING
Entry to this event will be restricted to husband and wife teams and will take place on a Friday night The husband will be given 15 pints of Stella while the wife will be told not to make him any tea when he gets home. The bout will then commence.
CYCLING TIME TRIALS
Competitors will be asked to break into the University bike shed and take an expensive mountain bike owned by some mummy's boy from the country on his first trip away from home. All against the clock.
CYCLING PURSUIT
As above but the bike will be owned by a visiting member of the Australian rugby team who will witness the theft.
MODERN PENTATHLON
Amended to include mugging, breaking and entering, flashing, joy riding and arson.
SWIMMING
Competitors will be thrown off the Pier Head into the Mersey and the first three survivors back will decide the medals.
MEN'S 50KM WALK
Unfortunately this will have to be cancelled as the police cannot Guarantee the safety of anyone walking the streets of Liverpool.
RELAY
Each of four competitors to remove an appliance of their choice from a house in Cheshire and get it back to Liverpool using at least four different stolen cars.
ARCHERY
Each competitor will be given three needles, the winner will be the person who gets nearest to three different main veins in their own body.
DISCUS
Will be decided by which contestant can get a hubcap off a car and throw it to his mate the fastest. In addition the following ‘exhibition events’ designed at promoting the local culture will be introduced.
PILLOW EATING
The contestant who can get the most pillow in their mouth after their 18 stone cellmate takes a shine to them will be adjudged the winner.
GRAFFITI
To be decided on who can spray the most obscenities on a neighbour’s wall in five minutes - NB In order not to disadvantage local competitors marks will not be deducted for misspelling.
BASEBALL
Each competitor to be given a stainless steel baseball bat. Last person standing wins.
CLOSING CEREMONY
In an attempt to capture the timeless beauty of Liverpool, competitors from every nation will be chased across Stanley Park by Knife wielding locals.
They will then scatter to the four corners of the City to find their car aerial ripped off, driver side window broken and stereo liberated, with no sign of the lad who charged 50p ‘to look after their motor’.
Their assailants will return to the park providing a riot of colour and sound as their shell suits converge. The Olympic flame (if still in place) will be extinguished by eight Scallies forming a circle and pissing on it.
The closing speech will consist of the words ‘Everyone in Liverpool’s a natural comedian you know’ . No-one will laugh. Each visitor will be hugged on exiting the stadium and will return home to find their wallet missing.

Edge Hill happens to be in Lancashire... Not Liverpool...duh?
You would be alright considering if you ever go to Liverpool you will be needing something dangerous or even a body guard to protect yourself...in your case a knife...
Liverpool is rife with council estate....no wonder there are muggings occuring everyday there...
Trafford centre is not exspensive...it is just the fact you can not afford it...
Manchester and London yes they are passionate about football but most are not savages like Liverpudlians when Everton or liverpool etc.and other ****** ones like Liverpool AFC lose...
I personally would not want a blow job of a scouser...
I suppose I should say add to my statement about Salford being better than liverpool...most towns in the North West are way better than Liverpool like Bolton or Wigan in Manchester for example. Furthermore, the largest town which somehow sees itself as city (don't ask me why) Preston is far better than Liverpool in fact I'd go far as saying it is not as chavvy as Liverpool.
