Trouble is, up North (manchester, etc), they're more likely to be sticking the cutlery in each other!
Is this observation based on personal experience or from the media?
The media does have a tendency to exagerate accents, not just Liverpudlians but other districts as well. Maybe because I am a scouser I don't notice the harshness in it.

I will certainly say scouse is unique and easily recognisable, particularly the way certain words are pronounced coupled with the distinctive rising and falling of tones as if words are being sung.
Sorry if this came over as some sort of attack, it certainly wasn't meant as one and apologies to noseall if it seemed I was criticising. No offence intended, its just that some people form opinions from media footage rather than personal experience.
(Flipping 'eck! A contrite scouser! Now thats a turn-up for the books!

it is an unfourtunate fact of reality, that genetically those south of the watford gap, and the liverpudlians,
have a gene defect that prevents them inheriently, from being able to, either comprehend or converse, in any form, vaguely ressembling the Queens english

Had a thought today.
How would the word fink truss sit with a bloke who refuses to pronounce the sound 'th'?
Could you imagine the phone conversation as he is thinking about using a fink truss.....

Nah ... It's more complicated than that. I'm a scouser originally and both my sons were born in St Georges, Tooting so qualify as Cockneys.
My older boy enunciates beautifully and could get a job reading the news after living 15 years in Surrey. The younger boy speaks the standard estuarine English found in these parts. His version of "the" comes out more like "vuh". Beats me why..
[PS. I'm not one of those "plastic scousers" who bores everone rigid in the pub with tales of how really great Liverpool is. If this is the case: a) why did they leave? and b) why don't they p*ss off back there (or even further away to Southport if they can afford it). I'm down here for keeps]
