Even "tongue in cheek" is very much understood for what it is. Yes, we have problems in this country, as well as you. As a moderator, you should not have made this post -- unless I am missing something from eating too much of my Thanksgiving dinner.

But if serious, you need to go have a cup of tea.

It wasn't so much a put-down of us, as yet another opportunity for us to flay the mother country again. GCat does that from time to time, since at heart he wishes he were American.

It's all good. Well except that bizarre pointing-with-both-fingers-thing they do in Ozzie Rules football. That's no good at all.

PS, I have no idea what the hell Scouse is. I'm assuming it's some other term for a Brit, but from the last post, I'm afraid to hazard a guess.

Sorry, what's Football? Is this a Football board? I hadn't realised.

My revocation of Independence was ONE MILLION PERCENT serious.

As usual, PFnVA, you put it much better than I could. I have no idea what Scouse is, and I am from Manchester (thirty miles away from Liverpool).

Scousers are people from Liverpool. They are known for being less charming, intelligent and less tough than people from Manchester. Mods; please don't give Scouse Patriot, who is ex-Army, my IP address. Thanks.

I don't think you should take too much notice of Mr G Cat on the subject of Scousers since Mancunians are notoriously prejudiced against anything Liverpudlian.

Scouser is non-pejorative slang for a Liverpudlian (someone from Liverpool). Scouse is either Liverpudlian slang - Liverpudlians have a distinctive accent and their own slang, or a kind of stew traditionally eaten in Liverpool. I think it has lamb and potatoe and so on.

BTW the UK may be small but there are probably at least as many regional accents as in the US, some of them can be quite indecipherable, eg those from Glasgow or Newcastle. Mix them with the accents of various of my countrymen who are not native English speakers and it gets even more confusing. I hear you lot need subtitles for 'Taggart' which is set in Glasgow

Have you had a pan of scouse yet? I'd love to get over for a game but I have to get healthy first, just healing up after a few ops at the mo. Definately will one day though.

Mrs G, why on earth were you walking the streets of Toxteth at daft o'clock in the mornin? And more importantly where was Mr G?

I went to university in Liverpool late eighties/early nineties. I lived in Wavertree and had friends in Toxteth. Mr G Cat was still in school (I'm a cradle snatcher as he's nearly 2 1/2 years younger), had I known it he was only about 40 miles away!

Despite that, I've never eaten Scouse.

I had a fantastic time as a student and have an enduring fondness for Liverpool. When Mr G Cat tries to get me interested in football (soccer), I threaten to support Liverpool and he soon drops the subject (with dark mutterings about the consequences, should I make good on my threat).
