Liverpool is actually one of the dirtiest first world cities I have ever visited. Admittedly, it is a lot cleaner than it once was but, the foregoing nothwithstanding, Liverpool, IMO, would be among the top twenty dirtiest major first world cities anywhere. I know that most cities have grot spots but, most cities have a clean central core. Liverpool downtown could win a vote as capital of litter in any election, in any place in the world.
