Merseyside Police: Night Patrol

[@itsonlyme458]

When was this filmed? Mid or late 90s? Wow, no stab vests. The old Ford Fiesta. The old livery of Merseyside Police. I'm guessing this is before the introduction of PCSOs. Probably when they were enough police on duty.

[@me20093]

Takes me back to my time at Copy Lane 1992-1994, in the days when the public understood and respected the role of the Police, and most of all understood that once the Police were invovled that the end of the road had been reached.

[@s.armstrong6024]

The change in the accent over the past 20 years is amazing

[@charliebaker5818]

Birkenhead not liverpool mate.

Wool accent

[@rayaspo4893]

Yes nothing worse than a Mancunian accent

[@paulmcallister8948]

​@charliebaker5818 no difference between Birkenhead, Wallasey and Liverpool accents mate. I have lived in all 3 places! Absolutely no difference! It changes when you get to St Helens and Southport though! 🤔🧐🫡

Unbelievable how they used to go around in a just a jumper with a walkie talkie!!!

Before THEY arrived

[@moj6241]

Fucking hell, the area has hardly changed. Also, the infamous ‘Bridewell’, many a wrongun was kicking and screaming begging to be taken somewhere else.

Liverpool police were ok with me when i needed help

[@melodycross2433]

Where do i find this documentary?

[@demoncleanersmith9403]

er... you watchin it! :)

[@gymnosophy]

The type of "policing" carried out by the "Happening Boys" I doubt would be part of police culture today. The other officer that worked alone seemed to have a much better approach to what must be a difficult job.

this is not liverpool in birlikenhead were separated by miles of sea

[@samcoyle128]

As anyone who's ever had a women crash into them will know, distance isn't something females 'do'!

I observed her place an item with a value of £1.89 under her coat? 😱😂. Imagine that happening 2day? Get nicked 4 wasting police time,if a shoplifter is detained as they attempt 2 leave store without payment 4 goods in their possession and cops r called,unless the value of said goods exceeds £200 then they won't bother 2 attend. If it's 4-5 bottles of spirits worth between £80-100 they find on shoplifter they will take goods back,ban the thief from the store and all other shops of asda/tesco/Morrison's etc but not call old bill.

[@humblepi3666]

They need to arrest the cameraman/woman because they're identifying the cops and the partial layout of the cop shop!

[@DMWBN3]

humble PI you this interesting at parties?

[@tangomango6365]

If I had to guess, I reckon that’s 1996. I’m not too sure that accent from the crack head was exaggerated y’know, some Birkos actually sound like that.

[@jonathancaplin570]

Nah mate earlier that, look at the motor's, I don't really know cars but that's got to be very late 80 into 90?

[@barbaraannecortina7899]

Firstly, the documentary in question is called Night Lives and is better to watch than this measly clip. Secondly, since when was Birkenhead part of fucking Liverpool? They're two totally different places...separated by the Mersey.

[@paulmcallister8948]

Still in Merseyside though!

[@CJ_YT.]

yeah, does me head in

[@paulmcallister8948]

That's a bit like saying that Gateshead and Newcastle are totally different. Or Manchester and Salford! All 3 accents are virtually indistinguishable from the town immediately facing it! 🫡

[@mistofoles]

Ee yor! That's me Christmas stuff!

[@patrickkenyons152]

not real is it ?

[@markoconnor7064]

The exaggerated accent now is sounding like HEROIN scouse..

[@TommyBahama84]

Cringeworthy isn’t it

[@iamme9196]

Not Scousers they're from Birkenhead

[@English_Lessons_Pre-Int_Interm]

I will add this video on my social net page and add that the Merseyside accent is the most difficult British English accent. 3:25 PS all these accents are killing the idea of an international language. One can only rack their brains if they are not native speakers.

These clowns going on about accents as if everyone that lives there is from there, hahaha also dont realise that most cops in wirral are from liverpool and most cops in scouseland are wools

[@paulmcallister8948]

Maybe it's also because that thousands of scousers move to the Wirral every year. 🤔🧐🫡

[@mrooney714]

@@paulmcallister8948 Accent is about the area you live in, not who moves here and there, the accent on wirral varies as much as the accents in liverpool, not every scouser sounds the same, as in every other part of the country accents are similar but different every mile or so
