Counter-puncher wrote:my only gripe was the narrative kept insisting (in the classic line of self-promotion so common to scousers) on telling us that scousers stick together, fighting city, everyone else in the country hates us (you want to know why? cos you can't shut up with your scousers this scousers that scousers the other malarkey), and best of all, 'all good scouse lads love their grans'. as though thats a sentiment foreign to anyone outside Liverpool. only a minor nark it's just scousers can't seem to help ramming down your throat the various characteristics they seem to regard as their own private territory when they share them with just about the whole feckin world never mind the whole country. like i say, just a minor gripe. it's just you don't get people from Scunthorpe continually saying 'the thing about people from Scunthorpe is we stick together/love our nans/great sense of humour....'.
D Well said mate.
Since I've moved up these ways this has griped me a lot.
Now dont get me wrong I got a lot of scouse friends, love loads of scouse bands lol and follow a lot of the scouse boxers.
But this whole attitude (that you describe) and the whole were not english were scouse really puts me off them.
They all seem to be so hard done by, like their the onyl city/people to ever have something bad happen to them - take some responsibility FFS.
