Well it's only alive because you think it is. There is no wall, if you want to go down to London and be a success you can do. Business though isn't just restricted to London. Sure it's the capital, but it's not were ok and **** everyone else.
So you're saying there isn't a sense of feeling like a fish out of water whenever you open your mouth with a Scouse accent anywhere south of Birmingham?
Lucky you! ^^
