Inhabitant of Liverpool, England. Quite a distinct and complicated group and as I am related through my mother I will try and go through positives and negatives
Positives: 1. Very friendly people, towards tourists and their friends, once one becomes a mate, they will never let you down and always be there for you
2. Extremely loyal, almost to a fault
3. Stick up for their own and not afraid to stand up for what's right, occasionally goes too far but without the efforts of the people, this world would be a much worse place
4. Dont give up on a course of action once undertaken. Sometimes a disadvantage when that course was ultimately a mistake, but shows a lot of determination to achieve things without giving in
5. Hilarious piss takers, very funny people, especially once they had a few
Negatives:
1. Need to learn how to accept criticism, not everything Liverpool has done over the years has been perfect, mistakes have been made but some struggle to agnowledge them. Rest of the country isnt always to blame guys
2. A bit too 'stuck in the 80's' in outlook, still feel as though the media and politics is the same as when Thatcher was in power. Sorry guys but time has moved on, and some need to accept change
3. Tend unfortunately to follow the lead of those who shout the loudest rather than those who show more discretion which doesnt help Scargill, Hatton etc and too many want to be in charge even though some dont have the capacity for it. Not all that tolerant of those with individual opinions who question whatever direction taken by the massed majority
4. Scouser-wool superiority complexes and tedious debates as to what constitutes one or the other. Bo-ring
5. May be good at taking the piss, but any counter response and often the eyes glaze over and the red mist comes down. Some not always able to differentiate between banter and abuse
However, for all their faults, much rather be in Liverpool than Manchester, Is a city of character and verve despite all the misfortunes that have befell it, and the people, in the main reflect that

People from the greatest city in the UK, people are very friendly, city has more art galeries outside of London than any other city in the UK, oozing culture and class. The cities history is astounding, has two of the greatest football teams in the UK, very whity and intelligent people. Also famous for their world class Universities, medical and software excellence and the most vibrant music scene in the UK, possibly the world. The only people who have a pop at 'scousers' are those originating from less prosperous areas (See Wool or Manc) I have never met a bad scouser and i've met many, all up for a laugh, fun loving and intelligent. And i'm from and live down south!.
What a charming man, very whitty, intelligent, loves good music, great at football, has 35 letters after his name... still loves a good laugh and a drink... must be a scouser!

im a scouser and i hate the fact that we are always branded something .my boyfriends family is always taking the mick and it just get on my nerves but if i get worked up they all say " calme down calme down" n then laugh for about 10 mins.
you called us everything under the sun after that antony lad got murdered but what you failed to see was the love people expressed for his famiily after that dredded night hundreds of people stood up and said 'this is wrong' and hundreds of people laid flowers and did walkes for him.
so next time you meet a scouser get to no them first you never no they might just turn out to be (as weired as this sounds) alright people.

Greatest people in the world from the greatest City in the world.
From the city that is home to England's greatest ever pop group and greatest ever football team. (FACT!)
The only negative about Liverpool is that it's much too close to Manchester.

A scouser is the universal term used to describe a person from Liverpool and more importantly one who is on the lower rung of society. Scousers are generally poor and fill their need for televisions with thieving addictions. Scousers can be found in poorly lighted car parks and dark alleys.
