Liverpool Markets

[The Teardrop Explodes]

When has a Scouser ever said "I'm going to the High Street"?
It's "To the Shops", "Going to Town", "Doing the Messages", or they'll name the locality.
Park Road is my High Street!

Depends what Scouser(s) you're talking about.
I've said it. I've heard it said.

Doesn't matter what you call it though does it- we (still)have things you might identify as 'high-streets.'

"...you don't live there to judge enough."
Yeah well whatever Max.

Also, word to the wise, if you're not going to read what the person's actually said there isn't much basis for discussion is there?
And I'm not really into the tedium of arguing for the sake of arguing, or going round in circles so I'll swerve em' if you don't mind.

Not much basis when you assume I didn't read what your saying Indeed,

What was good about the rows of local shops, i'm thinking of those under the tennies in Soho Street though there's still some rows in Stanley Road facing where the old hospital was and in William Henry st and County Road etc is they are not just shops but where the local oldies meet (or used to) to have a natter. All the headscarfed mothers would be in there gabbing away so it was like a community spirit for them, just a short walk away from their homes. Somewhere just to go and get out and catch up on things. It was said in an earlier posting that it is cheaper than supermarkets but I don't think this is the case and these days people just don't want to visit 3 or 4 shops to reel in the newspapers, fruit, veg, toilet rolls etc but it must be hard for some of the oldies to get to these big supermarket sites.
