Lol, Well, the cradle maybe but you have to grow up before you can experience the pure delight of a civilized lifestyle and that will probably mean that you become an adventurer on life's pathway South :smilewinkgrin:

just because you've been exiled to the poofder south.
 
or i could go as Mr. cockburn...

West until he finds the M6 south to get the hell out of bandit country.

And if you are referring to Liverpool Tele.... as civilised.... you desperately need a nice sunny trip to Surrey chap for a cucumber sarnie and jug of Pimms, followed by a round or two of highly competitive croquet then a dip in the paddler, exchange a little banter about the weather and our tennis coaches being poor then stroll to the gentlemans club to drink 30 year old scotch and polish the Bentleys.

If I had one of them Bentleys, I would NOT let a Scot or a Pole anywhere near it. :helmet:

Never mind a Scot or Pole - if a scouse got anywhere near it, it would be sat on a stack of bricks and have been stripped down more than a mechanically removed pork chop.

I went to look at a flat in John Betjeman's favourite city. It looked good on the map with a croquet lawn outside, but when i got there all the cars were parked on bricks, needless to say I removed the Bentley from the scene pdq.

At the end of a tiny deserted bar is a huge scouse bloke - 6ft 5in tall and 350lbs. He's having a few beers when a short, well dressed and obviously gay man walks in and sits beside him. After 3 or 4 beers, the gay fella finally plucks up the courage to say something to the big Liverpudlian.
Leaning over, he cups his huge ear: "Do you want a blow job?" he whispers. At this, the massive Merseysider leaps up with fire in his eyes and smacks the man in the face. Knocking him off the stool, he proceeds to beat him all the way out of the bar. Finally he leaves him, badly bruised, in the car park and returns to his seat as if nothing had happened.
Amazed the bartender quickly brings over another beer. "I've never seen you react like that" he says.
"Just what did he say to you?"
"I'm not sure" the big scouser replies.
"Something about a job."
 
jesaus comes back after 2000 years to see how things are on earth. he walks into a pub and obviously has no money, but there's 3 blokes sitting at a table, drinking pints: a scouser, a yorkshireman, and an irishman. seeing jesus's predicament, the irishman goes to the bar and buys jesus a guinness. so they all sit down and drink. when jesus finishes his guinness , the yorkshireman buys a round, and gets jesus a samuel smiths. next round, the scouser's turn and he gets jesus a pint of stella. ready to leave, jesus then says to the 3 men. "thanks for the drinks lads, i must do something for you in return". the irishman then tells jesus that he would love to be back in dublin, so putting his hand on the irishman's head jesus murmurs in hebrew, and lo and behold, the irishman magically disappears back to dublin. the yorkshireman tells jesus that he has suffered for years with headaches, so jesus puts his hand on the man's head, and his headaches disappear. turning to the scouser, jesus asks what he has wrong with him. the scouser replies that for 30 years he has had a bad back. as jesus goes to put his hand on the scouser's back, the man jumps up and shouts " F*** off, i'm on disability"

Had a similar problem a long while ago. The customer had had a light fitting replaced on the landing and wired with the neutral and earth swapped over.
The property had no rcd protection and had rewire able fuses.
They had a new kitchen fitted and the fitter removed the water bon which was the electrical systems only means of earth.
From then on whenever they turned the light on on the landing it made most of the properties metal work live.

DIY - you pay the price in the end !
