when i was a letting agent in manchester
i had around 4,000 tenants, 400 of whom were in liverpool.

i spent more time in liverpool county court than anywhere else. scousers just don't think things like "paying rent" apply to them, it seems.

Once they've paid the leccy
there's only enough for either the pub or the rent.

I was talking to a pissed up scouser in a pub once, who asked me what my 'perk' was at my job.
I didn't understand him at first, but then it transpired this was chirpy scouse speak for "What do you steal from your employers?"
They're a loveable bunch alright.

remember the interview with thompson and venables?
"what were you doing in the mall?"

"we was only out robbin'"

only in liverpool could stealing be a defence to murder

Ill-placed snobbery from a Manc, here.

You do the patented Manchester monkey-swagger out of affectation, I suppose.

Am I?
Oh. I guess the two of you do look pretty similar. You're not related, are you?

Terry Venables? Blimey, I knew he was dodgy.

Surely in Liverpool a "perk" is where you go to play "footy"
or to drink cheap alcohol until the world spins.

In Liverpool a "perk"
is an early release from this mortal coil.
