got a lot of friends from Liverpool, don't think you are different from me apart from being on the wrong side of the pennines 'lol'
i don't support England at football rubbish no pride they are just there for the glory even though they can not win tv coverage,
nothing wrong with being proud of who you are & where you are

ive lived in Liverpool,Birmingham and Dublin and they are all very similar,dont really agree that liverpool is different.

staff,

yes it's definitely in England, though some critics may say yes some of Liverpool is in a state, still nice place and nice people.

no your not , ur english, and there is so many parts of england all with different acccents, do you think they all non english too. Or do you think you live in Ireland. ! lol. And as u say,scousers do not support thier own english team, that is bad. shameful.

Erm...Liverpool seems similar to Manchester if you ask me! And we're no different from anyone! Plenty of Irish here too, you know...

And it's true that New York is totally different from the rest of the US. It's blatantly obvious if you've been there!

As You Like It

Its true that Liverpool is heavily influenced by Ireland, and many people in that area have Irish blood to some extent. But its as English as the rest if you ask me. That's the thing about England every area is different and has different traditions, cultures, accents etc. But you can't say that one area is more English than another, its just untrue.

What you were saying about American/New Yorker though is different. You could say that about Liverpool I suppose but its believed that people from London are a completely separate group to your average English person. (from my experience) Why is being from Liverpool any different than being from Manchester or Portsmouth for example?

Liverpool is a seperate enclave full of shellsuits and hubcaps and men with perms and people with God-awful accents who speak a wierd language unrelated to any other... The sooner we in the rest of England put a fence around it to keep the Scousers in the better. We cannot let them infect the rest of us.

I moved into Liverpool 9 years ago and it is a world apart from anywhere else I have ever lived. The people are completely unique and the city has always felt like home.

I'm not from Liverpool, but I live not far away from it. It's a great place, full of character. Shame that so many tourists gravitate towards London, which is a hovel in my opinion. They should see where the scousers live, it's a real law unto itself.
It does annoy me that Liverpool is stereotyped in the way it is. The people you meet there are cooler than cool, and it's the only city I know where you can walk around at night and still feel fairly safe. Great place, I love it.

Im from liverpool, i just think it doesnt matter where you are born as long as you treat every person with the same respect you wish to be treated with.
Being born in one area of the planet is purley a geography factor and not a biological one - we are all human. Liverpool has an amazing buzz and great people come from there.

Being from the States, (live in Vegas), I believe Americans will always associate Liverpool with the Beatles. They put the city on the map, and most people see Liverpool as English.

i see liverpool as being english: it has its own culture, history and past. by the way, one of my former college tutors, named richard hails from liverpool and he was a great person, as well as a great teacher. as well as anton- an ex-school chum of mine and of whom i've known since we first met at primary school and alas, we've remained great friends. i know a lot of people don't like the scouse accent that much but i disagree- i think its great! english for me doesn't just refer to all things cockney, words like guv'nor and geezer and london: english is a mixture of all things london, mancunian, brummie, geordie, scousers etc

and besides, liverpool is, in itself, a great city in itself; especially as it once won european city of the year for culture or something like that, i cannot remember

Well I for one love Liverpool and its people, they are kind and generous and you can have a damn good old belly laugh with them and your accent is brilliant, maybe you are a little state on your own because you are unique people, coming to Liverpool again in 2 weeks to visit friends, can't wait.

i think billy connoly said it in a nutshell when he said that in scotland being funny gives a person real kudos, he then added that the only other place he knew of like this was liverpool
love the humour, its just there all the time
I was once in a little cafe in st johns market with an friend who said to the girl serving us 'why dont u smile and be nice u might feel better urself''
she replied (gotta do this with a t'ick scouse accent) 'its norrin me nature'
i cracked up

Liverpool is the capital of Ireland. That's why it feels differant.

I heard Chris Moyles saying that people from Leeds (where he is from) are known as thieves this morning on the radio. I never knew that about Leeds so it goes to show all cities are different in there own way yet the same things happen in them, it depends on you're own perceptions of where you live and what you hear about other cities I guess.

i think of you as English. I think every city in the UK has its own identity and proud citizens, perhaps the scousers more than most.
Maybe not many support England as they are from Irish descent?

england, i live in devon, but absolutely love liverpool, i think liverpool should be the capital not london. if i could move to liverpool i would. and i love the accent.

lumpish base-court miscreant

your stiring it up scouse ill have you up Scotland road if you go on like that I have lived in Liverpool on and off im a southerner and i think your the most comical people in this island so dont go and piss on it

barneyboy

Sorry I am answering your question even though you asked scousers not to. Yes I see Liverpool as seperate from the rest of the country and I feel little or no allegiance to the rest of Britain, I am however, fiercely loyal to my city.

In the words of a guy from my old college in N Ireland:

"Liverpool is for all the Irish who want to be Brits but don't want to live in England"

Illogical I know but I gues the reverse would be true, Liverpool would be for all the Brits who want to be Irish but don't want to live in Ireland.

It is a Middle ground and since you get the best of both worlds I am assuming you like living there?

Well, I am from Scotland but I don't consider myself Brittish, I'm Scottish, so maybe it's the same thing, love the scouser accent though.haha:-)
