 | Liverpool Warnings or Dangers | Tips 1 - 10 of 38 |  |
Although there is no reason to believe Liverpool is any worse than any other major city if you hit the clubs and bars beware there have been reports of drinks being spiked. Unless you know the buyer get your own drinks from the bar and keep them in sight. If drinking from a bottle keep your thumb over the top if you have any suspicions about thoese around you. If possible go drinking with a friend and watch out for each other. Don't leave you drink on the table or bar to dance and return to it later.
Don't worry unduly or let it spoil your fun but do take care out there.

 A fine church before the
luftwaffe got to it. by sourbugger
Many people know about the 'The Blitz' in London, but heavy bombing occured in other cities - so Liverpool had it's own blitz due to the large dockyards and ship-building yards.
The church has also become a kind of rallying point for various ethically based campaigns, but also, rather annoyingly a regular hangout for many of the citys' drunks. Leave a Comment

 A Badged 'Big Issue'
Seller by scouseneil
Often several times a day I will be approached by someone in the street who asks for 20p for the phone/bus/cup of tea.
A friend of mine once pointed out a young man who was openly begging for money, she told me that she knew this person, he lived in a semi-detached house in her street.
As a rule you are advised (by the police and local authorities) not to give to beggars. The exceptions to this are the sellers of The Big Issue Magazine. These people have large badges displaying their photographs. However these people are NOT allowed to beg for money, just sell you a magazine. They buy their magazines for 40p each and sell them for £1, making 60p profit per magazine. I will sometimes give these people £1 and tell them to keep their magazine, enabling them to sell it again. Occasionally I will come across one who I find quite offensive, with the attitude that you should feel obliged to buy their magazine, and I never do from those people.
I do feel that there are too many pitches for these sellers, it seems that on almost every street corner there is someone thrusting a magazine into your face, but maybe that's just me!
Also, be aware that some people selling the Big Issue may not be genuine. If they haven't got a badge, they have probably stolen the magazines from a genuine seller. Leave a Comment

The area around Lime Street station isn't too good for walking around on your own - or two females. There are numerous beggars and the bars seem particularly rowdy. Leave a Comment

Watch out and try to avoid the Toxteth area. Some of this country's worst ever rioting happened here and it is considered one of the most deprived areas in the country. You don't see too many cars parked in this vicinity. Thefts are paramount. Leave a Comment

When walking home one night, my friend and i were approached by a middle aged man who said something to us which at first i didn't understand. It sounded like -...you got time on yas?', and so i just looked to my friend who was wearing a watch. He too, didn't know what exactly yer man had said so just said 'sorry, what did you say?'.
and so the stranger repeated himself, this time a little more clearly. ''Are yous Evertonians?''. It was clear then that this lad was looking for a fight, and we just said ''no'' and strolled off. We had just had a brush with a potential beating one might say, not me though, im a fast runner. If ever confronted with such situations, i recommend you just say that you don't really like soccer, or that you support a different local team -not one with big rivalrys- in this case 'Tranmere Rovers.
