Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Sassy Colombian]

No I'm not a scouser. My mum and dad are. But they left Liverpool and moved to Skelmersdale for work purposes .

Not really Sass although many scousers moved out from Liverpool to Ormskirk.

Why is that? So only those within the city limits get the label? And what's the difference between a scouser and a Liverpudlian?

At one time I think it was an aspirational place to live for scousers , less so now I think.

Really?

I had a few clients who lived in and around Aughton, and they were seriously well off.

Believe it or not dear Fred, at times I can be quite naive so the laughing emoji wasn't enough clue for me

I thought you'd realise from your time on here. PeteBlue is the token Tory on the forum, or at least the only one prepared to put his head above the parapet.

I'm sorry to hear that. Why do you hate it, toast? I just googled it and looks like lovely place with lots of history. Just learned that the town was "first settled about 14,000 years ago, Hampshire's recorded history dates to Roman Britain."

The people.

Simple as that.

Aughton is still lovely . Halsall is very nice as is Rufford although a bit further out.
However Ormskirk has become a student town with the mushrooming of Edgehill Uni. It's good because ( like Falmouth) it brings life and vibrancy into the town but a lot less exclusive than it once was.
Burscough has also gone along similar lines with a huge programme of housebuilding.

Asheville is great town, very progressive and very community oriented. We are not liked by conservative Republicans though, and they love to refer to Asheville as a “cesspool of sin” lol

Both descriptions sound wonderful tbh ??

Schoolboy error. Actually a typo , but hands up.

At least you have excuse. I once listed a potato as a sprout and Kev had a field with me lol

Fred will explain this much better than me.
However a Scouser is someone born in Liverpool ( some say that if you are born in suburbs like Kirkby you aren't a Scouser but I'm not convinced about that ). For all intents and purposes a Scouser and Liverpudlian are the same thing. If you were born outside Liverpool and moved there , like I did , you can never be called a Scouser.

I think a scouser and a Liverpudlian is the same. But I don't want to offend anyone.
I was born in Ormskirk which is in Lancashire.

I knew about PeteBlue being a Tory but I guess I had not really given it much thought to Liverpool's political affiliation. But when @tommye mentioned people in Liverpool not being bothered by cannabis then I did get confused about your Conservative post.

Your English has definitely improved since your early postings. . . and your memory can't be faulted lol

*field day

Thanks for explaining better than me mate. I didn't want an angry scouser shouting at me.

Now I'm imagining you going backwards and forwards on things.

Now I'm distracted...

Be honest, it was the ping pong balls that really distracted you wasn't it?

A very good friend of Mrs J has lived in Aughton for years ( like you a former bank manager ) and husband a company director. Seriously loaded , however she is spitting feathers that the value of her home has been reduced because of the development of Edgehill and the number of students living close by.

That can make a huge difference on how one feels about a place, it doesn't matter how lovely the city is if the people are a load of [Poor language removed].
