I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and take each post on its merits rather than looking for the shit i try and look for the good.

 

[Job]

Liverpool was the gateway to our empire, most of the British Empire's goods came and went through Liverpool. That's why the sea front is a world heritage site, and why the city has so many Grade 1 listed buildings. It was an astonishingly rich city.

 

[Raven]

...but not richest in the world...

 

[Job]

No..that little bit was..though certainly, briefly being the richest city of the worlds greatest Empire is not to be sniffed at.

 

[Moriath]

Stop being so pedantic. Unless you can come up what city was therichest in the world at that time and during the whole of the prosperous period of liverpool then you are guessing as well.

 

[Raven]

Dont worry. I dont care. Liverpool has loads of history.

 

[Moriath]

I know you really dont care and are only doing it to dig at job. Which is crap really.

I think he thinks he's being funny, talking about the football club.

 

[Moriath]

Yeah i guess you could read it that way now you point it out. Failed i think.

I know there was a few houses up north you could buy for literally £1, they were in a really shit area though that was plagued by drugs and violence, forget where it was though.

The £1 homes: What do you get for your money - and what do you get

was it I think

 

[Raven]

That was on Liverpool I think but they also had to prove that they could afford to renovate it, and have to stay there for X amount of years.

Thats how robbie fowler made his millions. Buying cheap pool property and doing it up and renting out.

From what i remember there wwre areas of moss side like that too

 

[Job]

You can still buy those little 2 bed terraces for 20K, spend 15 doing them up.
Not bad cos you can get 450 a month in rental

It's a myth. London was always Britain's richest city even when the money was being made in Liverpool and Manchester. Second city, certainly, but never close to London.

Its based on the fact that 1 year the government made more money from Liverpool than London.

How the fuck do you know that??? Linkage pls....

 

[Raven]

Also, London making money out of Liverpool does not make Liverpool rich, it makes London rich.

Exactly. There were certainly times when Liverpool (and probably Glasgow) had more shipping commerce coming in than London, but London of course gets the benefit of everywhere else.

At one point Bradford had more millionaires than anywhere else in the empire - and some of the old textile mill architecture shows it.

Shithole now tho. Only looks good in the snow

The richest city in history (compared to everywhere else at the time) is a place called Potosi in Bolivia. It was rich because it sits on a mountain that was literally the biggest silver mine in history. I've been there (and in the mountain). Its a fucking dump. I think one of the lessons of history might be "don't be the shiniest place, there's further to fall". Be one of those places that's always steadily rich, like Zurich or Vienna; they seem to give their inhabitants a better quality of life that way.

While not quite Bradford, Saltaire is gorgeous.

Summits going on, working in the garden yesterday and there were Chinooks and Lynx copters going over all day, they were so low you could see the pilots, the noise as three go over together, awesome.
I know they arrive at the docks, are assembled a bit and then flown wherever, haven't seen that many for years.

Bunch of posh cunts in the Ferry. Used to be a stomping ground of mine briefly.

I was brought up in Monifieth, so I was one of the inbreds in the village next to the posh cunts.

Easy access to loads of great golf courses though, so not all bad.
