Liverpool

Straight Talker

I suppose being from Cork i never thought that anywhere else could be better than my native place but Liverpool has changed that perception.:) It get's a bit of an unfair rep but it's a beautiful city with some really stunning architecture.The natives are very warm and welcoming and i quite like the spectacular views from the waterfront.The city has had it's tough times but there has been substantial regeneration of the city centre with some new buildings and museums along the pier head and the Liverpool One development.The city centre is very clean and there's is very few scumbags or drug addicts loitering around the centre.Liverpool get's enough **** thrown at it from pig ignorant people.It's a great city with great people and it's the home of the mighty Everton FC.:)

It's no London, but it's a lovely spot compared to kips like Birmingham and Manchester. Nice people and plenty of history there.

It's very small and compact for a british city but that's what i like about it.

It is a great spot. Very well policed also, which impacts.

Muahahaha

Liverpool is a great city. Really good arts scene there as well as a branch of the Tate. Dublin could learn a lot from how clean and well policed it is.

I went to Liverpool to meet a woman once. Spent ten hours getting there on a National Express bus from Newcastle. When I arrived at the hotel she had her grandkid with her. She was 28.

I lived in toxteth for couple of years, and loved it, the people really are very down to earth and friendly.
Wouldn't say the place is small, it was very spread out, but all easy to get too.

I love that the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral is known locally as Paddy's Wigwam

I was born and raised in Liverpool, and I love it to bits, despite the rough patches.

I'd pick Liverpool over London any day. London is too expensive, packed and unfriendly. Great place for a holiday but no chance I could live there.

I do like Liverpool, but the last line of the OP makes me think "picks English club first, decides city great later".

Heading there soon and need to cross the river, is there some kind of ferry I can get?

Depends - which river?

No. None. People mistakenly sing "so ferry, cross the Mersey" when it's actually "no ferry, cross the Mersey"

1st place I saw people casually walking around outside in their PJ's.

Not for AH.

I'm sure one of the UK forums can accommodate this.
