I'm not siding with anyone here .. but as I have said, why not just be a Scouser and be proud ???
The forum motto is 'Scouse proud' isn't it ?

The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

I know Waterways (can I call you 'burnsey'?) .... I am your idle stalker ...
Here's you on the good old Toxteth thread :
... it's always a good laugh to read your bigoted, generally pointless views on here when I have a bit of spare time.Originally Posted by Waterways
big·ot
n. One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
I have no idea why the word bigot is used so often in your direction Burnsey .....

The thing is this; I am very broadminded about other cultures -and I always have been and always will be. The diversity of this globe is fascinating and there is so much to learn from others. I have, many friends and family from all different walks of life, and I take great interest in learning about other peoples' histories and experiences.
I don't want to be anyone else though, I am satisfied to be a Scouser and I don't need to cling to any other identity - I am quite confident in my Liverpool identity, and I am SO glad I had the fortune of being born in this city.
I am certainly 'Scouseproud' - but that doesn't mean that I will decry any other culture.
..and called me a racist too. I have Irish blood in me. It is laughable. The mentality of 5 year olds.
They clearly thought the Irish had the greatest influence on the culture of the city. Anyone who reads Liverpool history would know that is clearly not the case, as many in this thread have mentioned about the great Welsh influx and influence, obviously English, as Liverpool is in England, etc.
Look at the old established families of Liverpool. Many came from rural Lancashire backgrounds: Harrison of Harrison Line, the Tates of Tate & Lyle, the Holt family, the Ismail family of the White Star Line from Cumberland, Laird of Cammell Laird from Scotland, etc. George Melly was of Swiss decent.

I go along with Lindylou on this. We are all proud to be Scousers. I was born in Liverpool but brought up in France and Ireland and although I am fluent in French, I think of myself as a Scouser.
I am proud that we have the oldest Chinese settlement in Europe, right here in our city and I rejoice when they celebrate. When the Afro-Caribeans have their carnival, I join right in and I am made welcome. Not as a Frenchman nor an Irishman but as a Sccouser.
I have witnessed some fantastic St. Patrick's day parades on the 17th March in Hawaii, New York, Paris and Lisbon. I really think it would be a great idea to have one here this year.
Maybe Paddy O'Waterways will lead the march, join in and have a bit of a laugh ?

It's unlike you to ask permission before saying something rude or idiotic though - are you unwell?
I'm off to make fan club badges now.
