Well done on this entry! But, Micheal Owen IS a plazzy (plastic) scouser! (either that or he comes from maghull.... which is sorta not liverpool but still merseyside)
But anyway, Tilly Mint, I've never heard this, Oh, and A Fiver is now commonly known here as "A Bluey" or "A Flimm"


"My compliments to the chef"

Plazzy Scouser, that must be a relatively new phrase then. When I lived in Liverpool anyone who did not originate there was called a "woolyback", as they lived outside of the city, like the sheep.

What was quite amusing was hearing one of my friends call someone from Manchester a wooly when that city is probably even more built up.

Oh, plazzy scouser is gone now.. dead and buried.. it's just a "Wool" now...
so wen did u live here? and how long ago? and for how long? since when? did u lke it? y am i asking so many questions??!

From 1963 - 1980something (when I moved down to London). I was born in the hospital on Smithdown Road, opposite the fruit & veg shop owned by my grandfather.

From the age of 2 to 11, I lived in Oakdale Road, just off Penny Lane. Then we got posh and moved to West Allerton/Mossley Hill. I attended Quarry Bank comp & later the art school in Hope Street.

& yes. I love Liverpool. And don't get me talking about how good the chippies are...

::recalls a part in your entry about how us scousers complain about our chippies being bombed or e.t.c. ::

Being a fully fledged genuine plazzy woolyback scouser from Wirral, we get the best views of the Pier 'Ed for free.

lol

I remember when I used to live in Toxteth I used to be able to look out of the window and see the greatest ever skyline; the tallest row of sky scrapers in the world could not compare to the skill that went into creating those buildings and well, it's actually recognised world wide! no lie!


well, my american e-pal knows it anyway.

and another friend from burrming'im

woolyback .....not nice term for strike breakers from warrington who worked unloading bales of 3 star wool from the ships at the pier head
imortalised in the song
"theres a wooly over there,over there
bandy legs and greasy hair,greasy hair
with a 3 star jumper halfway up his back
hes a wooly wooly back,wooly back"

Just FYI, Owen was born in Chester and grew up in Buckley in north Wales. Plazzy scouser indeed.

But then I've got no room to talk - I'm from Southport! ::ducks and runs::

As I grew up on the Wirral, I'm definately a plastic scouser. Never thought of myself as a woolyback, as I'm not from Wales or Lancashire. Pier Head def looks better from Birkenhead

Sorry a major mistake about Owen, he was born in Chester, in the hospital there because his father wanted him to be English (I wonder why?) he has lived all his life in Hawarden and now just a couple of miles away in Lower Soughton Hall, Northop. Always in Wales and has played for school representative games in Wales also so I suppose he is really a "plazzy taffy"
