Just had to share this one with you.
Old guy came into our place of work yesterday. Had to be supported by 3 people to get to the toilet. Very infirm indeed, and didn't look at all well.
Thought nothing more of it, until we saw an ambulance arriving with all lights flashing. The guy had collapsed.
Quick as a flash, this scouse lad at work jumps up and starts walking towards the loo.
"I'm off to see if he's got a Rolex before he comes round".................  True I promise you.

Well, maybe you had to be there, but to my ears it's rather cruel and in bad taste and would appeal to those who find it hilarious when a person slips on ice or falls off a ladder.
Them scousers, there must be something in the water

It's like when Gerry and the Pacemakers recorded Ferry 'cross the Mersey. It killed the trade in swimming costumes.

Liverpool airport was closed today due to a suspicious car;
Apparently it had tax and insurance and its stereo was still in it

I don't believe you Mummra. I've never seen a car in Liverpool matching that description.

As a scouser, i can answer that not all are like that, (thiefs etc,etc). I laugh along with your banter, because thats the type of people we are, not easily offended. Must go, got to put me shell suit on the washing line and someones about to drive away in my scorp

Hi Merseyscorp. 
Yeah, no offence meant mate.
I am of Irish descent - with a name like Pat, perhaps you had guessed!- and I laugh along with the Irish jokes too.
PS hope you got your scorp back

I think people take things to seriously, this was obviuosly meant as a joke. I am a Londoner by birth (no-ones perfect) and have worked in Liverpool on several occasions. I have always found scousers to be amongst the most friendly and funny people in the country. Its just a shame some people dont get their sense of humour. john.n

some years ago someone told me 'real' scousers are actually irish, the term scouser comes from 'scouse pie'?

I go back to the days when Paddy and Mick were the only two Irish names in circulation. They all worked on road gangs laying tarmac, and ate "lobscouse" for their meals. There were also other nationalities.............and life was taken much more lightly as a result.
Some of our best known and most highly successful comedians were known for their race-based humour, but there was never any malice in it. Not like now when people are so thin skinned.
I still work with an awful lot of guys who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, preferring outdoor manual work to that shiny office chair. They are the sort of guys that you'd stake your life on if push came to shove. They also do very physically hard 12 hour days, and earn good dosh as a result. Salt of the earth, most of them.
We still speak our minds, and a Spade IS... and always will be...a one-handled ecological digging implement!!!
A Chink is the noise when the pick hits a rock, and Dagos are those funny HSE approved fluorescent jackets that are supposed to prevent us getting run over by JCB's and earthmovers.

I once heard, that if you stop at traffic lights in Liverpool, then your alloy wheels turn into bricks
