LIVERPOOL, is it just me or......

Is it just me or are the Liverpool people possibly the nicest people in the world?

I would say wrong on both counts...:D

I agree with you wholeheartidly. Have visited many times and one of the reasons I return is the friendliness of the people there. For some reason they seem to be a very lighthearted bunch. Good observation.

Most upfront, open, helpful and downright friendly folks alright.. I have only been once about 10 years ago but going back in a few weeks again for a weekend and I'm looking forward to it. Not the most aesthetically pleasing on the eye city but the people are awesome... Btw any tips on the fun stuff would be most welcome, last time out was a bit of a lads weekend and we didn't see much aside from the Beatles tour and the pubs... Older and more mature now or as I'm told just not able for it

Rough spot. Didn't like it. Seen more fights there in a night than in the previous year back home.

I had the pleasure of going to University in Liverpool and I fully agree they are the nicest people you could ever meet. Funkey monkey drink has a tendancy to cause fights but you got to remeber this. A lot of people from outside Liverpool go there to party. You see a lot of Londoners come up for the weekend. I have been in Birmingham, Dublin and a good few other places on nights out too and the fights are pretty much the same.

Id go back and live there in a heartbeat.

I visited it two or three times I thought he people were friendly. Apparently accent is a mixture of irish and yorkshire accents

Liverpool is the only city in the UK I can say I feel 100% safe in - every other place I feel I have to look over my shoulder, or keep my voice down as I'm a paddy - there is something about the people and the love for the city that keeps it special, they embrace us Irish like their own aswell...

I have seen pretty much all sides of the city, the good areas, the bad ones, my friend also lived in a more rural part of it called Nesting, a lovely place tbh...

Liverpool FC are also the team I love - but that should have no bearing on things in the city...

I bring my daughter over every year for a competition and i have to say they are the nicest friendliest bunch of people you could meet. My daughter couldn't get over been called pet or chick by people serving or helping us. I always look forward to going back each year.

I have never been there but hoping to head there in a few months with a friend. I am really looking forward to it. I know a couple of people who go over there regularly.

I visited the place a few weeks ago for a lads weekend. I had the place pinned as a den of heroin addicts but it really is an amazing city and the people do seem to try and be a bit more helpful than most, or at least they're nicer than Mancunians anyway. Parts are a bit rough but the pub scene is very nice if you get fed up of the chain pubs over here. Some awesome museums as well and the Beatles Story is an absolute must and that's from someone who could take or leave them.

I love Liverpool, I'm a Liverpool FC fan which brings me over, but the city makes me stay. The poeple are bang on, seem to really embrace the Irish in a way that I've never seen in any other city I've been to abroad, and the city centre itself actually scrubs up quite well despite what some people say. I brought my dad over last weekend for a game and he can't wait to go back. I have friends who are Man United fans who go over to games fairly regularly but stay in Liverpool if theyre making a weekend of it, which says it all really. I'd recommend Liverpool to anyone.

Fans of the place & its people should check out Terence Davies excellent 2008 documentary 'Of Time and the City'.

The film has Davies recalling his life growing up in Liverpool in the 1950s and 1960s, using newsreel and documentary footage supplemented by his own commentary voiceover and contemporaneous and classical music soundtracks.

The film premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival where it received rave reviews.[1] Time Out said "The one truly great movie to emerge so far (from Cannes)..... this film is as personal, as universal in its relevance, and as gloriously cinematic as anything he has done"[1] and The Guardian called it "a British masterpiece, a brilliant assemblage of images that illuminate our past. Not only does it tug the heart-strings but it's also savagely funny."[1] BBC TV film critic Mark Kermode nominated it as the best overall film of 2008 on his "Kermode Awards" section of The Culture Show, and Duane Byrge from The Hollywood Reporter lauded the film as "poetically composed" and a "masterwork".[2]

Of Time and the City won Best Documentary in the Australian Film Critics Association awards for 2009.

Im also an lfc fan so go there for matches but the city really is a very friendly spot. One thing i noticed on a trip a few years ago was the ques for taxis on the streets were so orderly. Some were 30-50 people deep and not one person tried to jump the que. The rare time ive seen hassle its usually not scousers who are involved.
The older generation seem to adore the young irish over there. I remember being 19 on my first trip over for a match with lads. We were fairly pissed in a pub near anfield and the locals were having great craic with us. Imagine a few pissed up young brits in a local pub in ireland and they wouldnt be treated the same way.
The prices are great too. A pint and a pretty decent dinner for less that €10 in the city centre. A pint is over a fiver in some pubs here.
A really nice city made great by the people.
