I head that said on the TV an dread it, but I never heard anyone actually say that. Another myth that gets blown up. Like we all said "whack". I never once heard anyone ever say that. I was born and brought up in L8.

There are a lot of 'Irish' pubs in Liverpool, and a lot of them have been newly created in the past few years, so the Irish element is still very strong in Liverpool.
Irish pubs. Some recent themed Irish pubs you mean, which could be in Munich or Nottingham or wherever, with the obligatory diddly-dee band and harps on the wall. I knew of a pub in Windsor St nicknamed the Irish House. No Irish went there, they did in the 1800s and then melted in like everyone else.
