Curry sauce on chips

[ghandi]

Yeah it's very pretty in places but it's about ten years behind the rest of the country, a lot of people seem inherently ignorant and intolerant of anyone from outside the region, or worse, not white and British. It really gets depressing, there's no jobs to speak of unless you want to work in the third sector or public sector, blah blah.

Nail on head. The Chinese chippy round the corner from my parents in M' bro used to suffer constant racist abuse from people waiting for their food. That they'd chosen to buy from there Last time I was in there, years ago, they didn't believe I was local cos I was too...friendly

You get jumped in London for your phone, on Teesside just for fun.

And erm...

Mushy Peas is the one.

Salt and vinegar FTW, hate both ketchup and curry sauce!

One of my pet peeves is when they put on the salt before the vinegar though, might be all in my head but it just doesn't taste the same

Liverpool's pretty much the whitest city in the UK... not saying the most racist btw

just, very very white

It has the oldest Chinese community in the Europe and the oldest black community in the country, which isn't as centred around Liverpool 8 as it would have been previously. Like I've just looked and apparently it's 5% non white which suprises me but I'm kinda suspicious of the figures I first found primarily because it has the black and Chinese communities roughly equal at about 1.2% which doesn't seem right. I'd also be interested in what boundaries are being used to define Liverpool and whether it's strictly local council boundaries.

My view may well be jaundiced because the school I went to would have been about 35% non white. I'm not denying that there is racism in Liverpool but it's never felt as overt as other places I've lived.

im not sayin anything about racism but as far as ethnic diversity goes liverpool isn't very thats all

and tbf man if you're gona bring up liverpool and racism and use as a claim to its love of ethnic diversity, that it has the older chinese and black populations take a second and think where those people came from and why...

but yeh, that IS beside the point, liverpool's pretty white, pretty Irish, pretty Christian and pretty Catholic... like Manchester

[firky]

Really want a chippy tea now

I had braised pheasant with chips n gravy

I think I've agreed with this

I didn't you're doing whatever the internet equivalent is of putting words into my mouth. What I said was;

I'm kinda suprised at the intolerance / ignorance though but then I'm from Liverpool which as a port has had a history of cultural divergence and seems / largely comfortable with it.

Nowhere am I saying that Liverpool is a beacon of multiculturalism I am merely stating that it has a history of non white communities and that it seems largely ok with that, we could get into a discussion of how Irish immigration, the most significant in terms of numbers, has whitened the gene pool in Liverpool but again, like slavery being the origin of the black community in Liverpool it's not relevant to this discussion.

Now I've also accepted my view of Liverpool could well be prejudiced by my own experience as a student at a school that was probably 65% white where bullying was never an issue on racial grounds but even outside of that I've witnessed / experienced far more overt racism when I've lived in other areas.

This is all true but is of no more relevance than the rest you've posted

Bradford, with one district, Frizinghall, having the highest concentration of Pakistanis in England and Wales, making up 73% of the local population

Thats basically where I live, dunno what that proves.

It's all about the Jakes (place in Plymouth) melts for chip shop foods. 10" sub rolls with things in then cheese grilled on top.

One got burgers and chips with the cheese grilled on top.
