I can identify with it on a huge scale because, as I'm sure people who from the UK (and maybe even people outside of it) will know, the city that Liverpool is today certainly isn't the same city it was even 10 years ago. It was deemed derelict, rotten and a complete dystopia worthy of no one's time and according to many it was past the point of no return. Today, it's completely reinvented itself and turned things around. It's still not perfect, we have issues with crime, poverty (moreover, child poverty), are often hit terribly with cuts because the current government hates the North etc, but it's such a beautiful welcoming city with a **** load of culture and heritage and tonnes of lovely things to see and do and is the city with the most grade 1 & 2 listed buildings second only to London. It's beautiful and I'm so very proud to come from here and I am ostensibly proud of Liverpool's success.

This is a nice time lapse of the city I found on youtube but it really only concentrates on bits of the city centre, there are still much nicer parts not included in this video.

So does this guy.

Look, sorry all if I came across a little

but if you create a thread saying "post songs about fruit" and some wiseguy posts one about vegetables, or buildings, or fat women, what's the point? You might as well go back to the "Thread with no subject".

Anyway, wgaf? It's just a thread I thought might be fun. If yaz don't want to play, don't play. Or do. It's up to you. But if you do, it would be nice if you did indeed play by the criteria stated in the OP.
