Armchair Britain, Series 1, Liverpool

[@judithgibson4291]

Love Liverpudlians they are natural comics

[@deeppurple883]

My city Dublin is twinned with the pool as it should be. At one time it was the Irish who came to Liverpool to work and live. Now it's the other way round there are scouser everywhere. One thing their great at, breading like rabbit's. Gizz a job, Yosser Hughes ☘️

[@pupskin123]

Liverpool is a great city - great people! Worked for a while there loved visiting too. Cannot fault the place at all!xx

[@craigruddock3824]

How abar Paddy's Wigwam?..that's what we call the Metro Cathedral. By the way my 'arl fella built the lift in St John's Tower :)

[@merseydave1]

I love Miss Miriam.

The best city in the world, with an atmosphere like nowhere else. My dad was from Scotty Road, and when the foundations were being blasted for the Catholic Cathederal (Paddy's wigwam), my dad signwrote the signs for the company that blasted the foundations. He also signwrote most of the advertising boards down the dock road (including a portrait of my mum and sister on a bus Lol).

[@davidedwards7835]

So scouse didnt come from Ireland,it came from Norway,regions.

[@alanharbin4249]

The Liverpudlian lady’s dad was from Sierra Leone.

[@merseydave1]

Some great images ... and its changed! however one thing never changes our people's sence of unity and our welcoming outlook.

[@theculturedthug6609]

Out unique character and Culture is changing very fast with mass economic migrants being dumped on the city.

[@henryb160]

They've got to rely on ancient footage cuz it looks more like Pakistan and Nigeria now.

[@krisscanlon4051]

Are John Paul George and Ringo here to translate 😂???

[@TheHandsomeman]

Scouse is thought to be from, Scandinavia.

[@taiterobinson793]

Scouseland im Scottish btw

[@mynameisGail]

I'm Scottish but my Mum was a Scouser. She sadly passed away last year aged 84 . She was born in the Scottie road area .She married my Dad ( he was Scottish ) in the mid 1960' s and lived in Scotland ever since . She really missed Liverpool though . We ( My Mum, Dad ,brother and I ) often visited relatives in Liverpool though years ago whilst they ( the relatives ) were still alive .

[@expatexpat6531]

Did she actually go to Liverpool to film this? It seems to be made up entirely of clips from earlier films in the BBC Archive. FYI: I'll be doing one on Punta Arenas soon.

[@tonynesbit9673]

As an evertonian l was really surprised we even got a mention!

[@pablojablo6371]

Blame Clive Thomas.

[@fredflintstoner596]

Mrs Richards: " I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) " That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

[@markryan5892]

Not even one mention of Purple Aki .

[@dionnenavarro1786]

Horrible woman!!

[@hugojames85]

And now we've become "Armchair-Fascist Britain".

[@mynameisGail]

@HugoJames Not true

[@hugojames85]

@@mynameisGail Really? A government whose only "policy" is hatred of immigrants, a hatred fanned by all media, and which is popular enough among the xenophobic electorate to inevitably win the next election for the Conservatives? And a country where total strangers regularly, openly and loudly express disgust at seeing myself, a white man, married to a black woman? (Although, to be fair, black people whom we encounter are just as racist as whites in this regard.)

[@randyborstol2491]

might as well try it- we've tried everything else

[@hugojames85]

@@randyborstol2491 Except that "trying" fascism is like "trying" death: there's no coming back from it. Oh - and even if you delude yourself that you'll obviously be one of the gauleiters, you won't be: you'll be in a concentration camp with the rest of us untermenschen.

[@mynameisGail]

@@randyborstol2491 You mean it's one more false accusation against we British in the current climate . Just add that "armchair fascist " nonsense false accustion that Hugo just came up with to the list of other false nonsense against the British that we British folk are having to suffer at present . Add it along with the current bs and constant persecutions and false accusations against the British . The list of bs against us just keeps on growing , yet none of the accusations are true .
