What is stereotypical about where you live??

whatever is i'd rather not know, my mind is numb enough as it is.
isn't the whole concept of "city" circularly stereotypical to begin with?

Not sure why you've brought Liverpool into this since the video is a long-dismissed video about Bush in Albania - he put it in his pocket by the way, as Snow said.

Given that, Liverpool are a bunch of thieving bastards. I used to work for a large delivery company, much like UPS (but not UPS) and whenever I saw a consignment titled 'car parts' routing through 'Liverpool', I knew I would soon be receiving a call from the consignment owner asking 'where are my car parts', to which I would reply 'Liverpool'.

'But when will they arrive to my customer?'
'Wait a minute, let me check through the records, oh hang on, did I say Liverpool, yes that's right, they will arrive....never.'

You find other strange habits about cities from tracking deliveries. Leicester, those other thieving bunch of bastards, used to steal clothes, partly due to the large clothing market situated right next to the depot. Where's Sherlock when you need him?

Some things beggar belief when you see them happen time and time again, write reports saying 'why not stop routing car parts/clothes through Liverpool/Leicester since they're constantly stolen by thieving bunches of bastards' yet still be the poor sap having to answer the calls from irate customers.

I quit that job fairly sharpish.

I'm assuming that since you've edited you've put the "correct" link up.

Apparently that's not Liverpool either though

Saying that, the music was horrible and the scally was just doing what any decent person would :)

uhhh...while I will give you that your new link is more correct in that it is about a hapless street performer having his CD player stolen (love how he vainly reaches out at the end), you need to do a bit more cross-checking b4 posting:
It's Liverpool STREET, not Liverpool.

That said, it does reinforce the hoodie-wearing chav scum stereotype. As well as the American tourist stereotype. So some points there.

The general post could be awful to. When I lived there, post arrived horrendously late (and even opened in a couple of occasions)
