Pacinofan 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Can I be controversial? I've been to Liverpool quite a few times, and always liked it, even as an away fan. Many thousands of people like going to defunct concentration camps in Poland too. Each to their own tbh. It must be really irksome to you that though Hitler tried to bomb Liverpool out of existence , it rose up and overcame the damage he inflicted. Not the most definitive but Trip Advisor not without merit either.

It really doesn't matter what YOU think of a place at all, it's about the general consensus of the visiting public and for them Newcastle is below Liverpool. I don't have to try, it's quite easy to put a bigot in his place. You constantly TRY to downgrade Liverpool but it always comes back in your face whether it's the city or the football team. You're completely obsessed with Liverpool, it's people and it's namesake football team, and very sadly for you, the city is far from a hovel, the people aren't all scumbags and it's namesake football team is one of the biggest clubs in the world, deal with it and move on ffs. I don't have a problem with London having it's top place in the world, I love the place, lived there for a few years long ago and had a great time.

Complete bollocks, Newcastle regularly gets voted the best city North of London, as Chez link showed we get far, far, far more British visitors than Liverpool gets, and I don't NEED to try to downgrade Liverpool it speaks for itself pal. I don't really need to do anything apart from laugh at your links. Of course the people aren't all scumbags, even in places like Kabul and Kandahar you'll get thoroughly decent people there.

You really are a dope aren't you? You know so much about Liverpool I'm surprised you haven't heard of Kirkby, Skelmersdale and Runcorn. All overspill towns where Scousers were moved to because the city was so crowded, plus the 11,000 homes lost during the war, meaning people had to be re-housed outside of the city boundary. In more recent years economic decline has certainly played it's part in population decline but Liverpool is on the up again, live with it. Sorry, I should have qualified the important city with 'during WW2'. There are no important cities in the UK outside of London during peace time.

You were the one who brought 80 years in to the debate. I answered that, if you don't want to believe it then fine, I'd expect nothing less from a deluded bigot. Liverpool is far from derelict as the number of visitors will testify to. The cities you mention are only important in as much as they get more crumbs from the capitals table than the rest, London is the only important UK city.

It has some fantastic architecture, a world renowned maritime history, a vibrancy that has always been there, a long standing cultural legacy, a fantastic war history, we even have places linked to the American civil war. The most famous race in the world watched by 10 billion, plus two football teams who between them have made it in to the most successful footballing city in England with 27 league titles between them. One of the most well known water fronts in the world, you'd be surprised how many people come just because they like the water front. There is so much more and that's without touching on the music, merseybeat and such. As much, if not more, than most cities outside of London.

Why did it have Liverpool on the side when it was built in Belfast by the way? Their maritime history stretches to more than just the Titanic Stevie. It was the wealthiest commercial port in the world. In the same way our industrial wealth was built up on shipbuilding, theirs was on maritime trade. As for your query it was built in Belfast and sailed from Southampton but it was owned by the White Star Line who were based in Liverpool. It was up to them to register the vessel so that is why its home port was asssigned as Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
