  • I walk around Toxteth in Liverpool in search of a dingy pub. I get down the rough back streets where there are rows of terraced houses with metal doors and windows along with littered streets!

      At Christmas the English and Irish would give presents to the Muslim kids on Eid the Muslims would give food to the Irish and English.This at a time when the riots happened.It breaks my heart what's happening in the UK and it's nothing to do with immigration.
      Ok Poland and Hungary have 0 immigration but what have they ever done?

      @Joe-said To be fair if you look at the history of the rivalry between LFC and UTD fans in the 70's/80's a lot of it revolved around UTD fans being famed for being the best shoplifters, then who could nick the best clothes became a big competition between the rival fans, then when LFC were doing much better in Europe they were turning up with designer clobber they were nicking abroad, but back in the day clothes shops around Old Trafford were basically controlled by UTD fans like the mafia, they'd go in and openly shoplift knowing the shopkeepers were too scared to stop them, and then it turned into a protection racket, so anyway when the scousers eventually won the shoplifting war they were stuck with the reputation of being the best tea leaves.

    I went there many years ago to buy a Guitar off a lad called Joey
    i had to stop & ring him cos every street sign was gone & i couldnt find his road . Soon as the Council put a sign up - concrete posts for ballast , wood burnt & tin sign rolled up & sold for scrap

    the street you were walking up to buy the drink is Smithdown Rd. If you want 24hr booze there's at least 2 places. Lots of redevelopment taking place further down, past the greenery of the girls school away from the Camera view. It's the A562 if I remember right. Chaplin's is on Lodge Lane, you missed Manchester Supermarket oddly named walking past, and there's vibrance when it goes dark, with eateries and restaurants. Sefton Park is nearby, along with Princes Park, and along the Avenue (Princes) they've redeveloped to include Cycle Lanes in the centre of the urban green space inbetween 2 Avenues that form the Avenue and the Road, and that looks good! I think one side used to be richer than the other, Shipping Merchants houses that are collosal in size and often converted into Flats. Another side of L8 has The Florrie, and Apartment builds that encroach with the border of the City Centre, and Park Road, if you'd looked along North Hill, High Park and their continuations and perpendiculars down towards the River
