If you grew up in Liverpool in the UK then you will relate to most if not every single one of these signs!<\/p>\n
1.Christening? Check. Engagement party? Check. Christening after-party? It\u2019s a stretch, but you can bet the heels will be out and the hair blow-dried to perfection. What\u2019s the point of going to an event if you don\u2019t stand out? This is one of the true signs that you\u00a0grew up in Liverpool.<\/p>\n
2.It\u2019s 8am, you\u2019re in Tesco, and there\u2019s a woman in rollers at the checkout? She obviously has somewhere to be that requires bouncy hair, and we should respect that. The stereotype is true \u2013 you will encounter at least one rollered-up woman out and about.<\/p>\n
3.The taxi\u2019s coming at eight? Better start getting ready at three. Every scouse girl knows that sufficient time means more time to have at least one inevitable makeup or outfit meltdown \u2013 plus you can stretch out the pre-drinking for longer!\u00a0This is one of the true signs that you\u00a0grew up in Liverpool.<\/p>\n
4.Spending so much time around born-and-bred Scousers means you\u2019ll soon be able to understand several difficult Scouse phrases which you can then politely translate for your non-Scouse friends who are looking more than a little confused.\u00a0This is one of the true signs that you\u00a0grew up in Liverpool.<\/p>\n
5.Living in Liverpool means you\u2019ll know several people who refer to the popular supermarket chain Asda as \u2018the Asda\u2019. Nobody knows how it became \u2018the Asda\u2019, but it\u2019s definitely stuck now.<\/p>\n
6.We\u2019ve all suffered through a painful impression of what the person we just met thinks is a hilarious<\/em>(read: terrible) impression of the Scouse accent, including several attempts at the most notable Scouse word, \u2018chicken\u2019.\u00a0This is one of the true signs that you\u00a0grew up in Liverpool.<\/p>\n 7.Much like rollers, it\u2019s very unlikely fake tan stock will ever drop in Liverpool. Having a tanned glow all year round is the livelihood of several Scouse girls, and they would rather die than be caught with pale legs even in December.<\/p>\n 8.I\u2019ve been there \u2013 when I moved away to university and found that some people \u2013 shock horror \u2013 only had one high street in their whole town, I wondered how they\u2019d made it this far. With more money than me, probably.\u00a0This is one of the true signs that you\u00a0grew up in Liverpool.<\/p>\n 9.It\u2019s all fun and games when you\u2019re joking about Scouse stereotypes until a non-Scouser steps in and you have to take them down a peg or two, and let them know you will defend Liverpool to the end.<\/p>\n 10.What makes Liverpool special is its commitment to diversity and showcasing culture from all over the world. From festivals to displays, the city always proudly shows the heritage of its inhabitants!\u00a0This is one of the true signs that you\u00a0grew up in Liverpool.<\/p>\n 11.Liverpool is a very<\/em>friendly city. So friendly, in fact, that you\u2019ll probably find yourself involved in at least three conversations with perfect strangers during your time and having to give advice at least once. Take it all in your stride- nothing wrong with making someone\u2019s day!<\/p>\n 12.Your sister? Our Lara. Your brother? Our John. That uncle that isn\u2019t technically your uncle but you\u2019ve known him since you were a baby? Our Mark. You all belong now.<\/p>\n 13.Remember that time Liverpool was Capital of Culture in 2008? Yeah, so do we, and we\u2019ll never forget. We will <\/em>find a way to shoehorn it into a conversation because, come on, remember when the city was full of lambananas?<\/p>\n 14.One benefit of growing up around strong accents means that traditionally \u2018harsh\u2019 accents no longer grate on you. Birmingham? No biggie. Newcastle? Easy to understand. Bristol? Piece of cake. Cheers for that, Liverpool.<\/p>\n 15.Exhibitions may come and go, people may move, the sun may not shine, but the Liver Birds will still be looking out over their city and the River Mersey, watching over their people proudly for years more to come.<\/p>\n If you grew up in Liverpool in the UK then you will relate to most if not every single one of these signs! You Treat Every Occasion Like a Wedding 1.Christening? Check. Engagement party? Check. Christening after-party? It\u2019s a stretch, but you can bet the heels will be out and the hair blow-dried to perfection.…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24719,"featured_media":133909,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":true},"categories":[8522],"tags":[8044,8451],"thb-sponsors":[],"class_list":["post-133908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city-life","tag-liverpool","tag-liverpool-lifestyle"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n<\/h6>\n
