I actually emailed Home Bargains head office about that when I was arguing with a mate about that very conundrum and bored at work.

Originally their liverpool store was called Home And Bargain. Then they later expanded and rebranded, but everyone in Liverpool still calls it by its original name.

Good man! Let it never be said that your anal-retentive attention to detail never yielded positive results.

Was always know as the pick and nick when we went up the Swan.

Until now I always thought it was called Home And Bargain.

Fucking hell Dave, now you've got me thinking. Remember the flats in St Oswald Street? Opposite there was a shop called Fruity Boutique. I'm pretty sure it was the only shop in Liverpool before the big supermarkets came to town where you could buy a punnet of grapes, 5lb of spuds, a pair of socks and a fucking toilet seat in the same fucking aisle.

Right where this woman's looking...you on your way out eating grapes with a bog seat under yer arm...

I'm sure it moved opposite there in the 80's until the flats came down.

I remember a big banner at one of those shops saying "New York, Paris, Rome, Old Swan"

Haha :-)

Next to that pam shop I think that's All Mankind isn't it? They had a shop in Bootle strand, one in St Johns and one in the Vale. The first place in Liverpool you could buy Lacoste polo shirts that weren't blag.

Its still fucking there, right opposite the old flats Dave. Me auld fella is from the gardens, so I know round there quite well.
Me mam came home from there a few weeks ago with a pineapple and a thermal vest for me.

Late into the second half on Sunday, once all discussion of goalkeepers, goalscorers, and the rather dapper Enrique "Quique" Sánchez Flores had been exhausted - and with a quorum of North and Southenders huddled forlornly nursing our Saigon Beers - thoughts turned to this thread and an on-the-spot poll resulted in the following:

Takey - 4
Mogger - 3
Seater - 0
Crozzie -1 (only for one's girlfriend, side saddle - if you will - on the crossbar)

Perhaps the figures could be added to the original poll?

Surprisingly most of the group are not members of Red and White Kop.com, indeed one or two were unaware of the existence of this and similar fora on the World Wide Web, through which one can discuss this and similar vexing issues. As per usual the the ensuing debate became rather heated, our Muirhead Avenue resident (ex-proprietor of a rather excellent Tuebrook Chippy) was flabbergasted to hear mogger was the preferred term in the deep south L24 and 26 postcodes. Insults were hurled and our none-Liverpudlian neighbours were I'm sure perplexed with the extreme-scouse insults of utter-meff and bad - bad wool hurled across the alehouse. At least we forgot about the football for a bit

Interestingly, in these parts, 3 and occasionally 4 on a motorbike is quite a common site - that's for another thread though.

Is correct , looking back at that pic of old swan with all mankind on it , there was also one and may have been the first on walton breck road just around the corner from the george pub on breck road .

The one on London road had two lads from anfield who worked there circa 1980 who shall l remain nameless , they would wear big coats right through the summer to hide the fact they had Pairs and pairs of jumbo cords wrapped around there body ready to sell later that and every night .

"Legger" was getting "boat raced" as Macca rightly pointed out.

Subject change here. Was it "a jigger " or "an enog"?

Jigger .

Let's shoot down this jigger la.

Sorted. Enog is pure wool. A bit like how wools call a pen ( penalty ) a penog.
