WE'RE all proud of our roots, but how can you tell if someone is from Wirral? Check out our light-hearted list and see if you can add to it...
- You’ve renamed Merseyrail ‘Merseyfail’
- When people on holiday ask you where you’re from, you go to great lengths to explain where Wirral is and emphasise the fact that it’s NOT Liverpool
- You support either Tranmere Rovers, Everton or Liverpool and hate Manchester United
- You’ve been to Parkgate ‘for an ice-cream’
- As the Great British Bake Off becomes more and more popular, you remind people that Paul Hollywood is from Wirral. As is Daniel Craig.
- Whenever lifeboats are called out to people cut off by the tide, you automatically blame people from outside Wirral - coming over here using 'our' beaches
- If you’re not complaining about the traffic, parking or the cost of the tunnel, then you’re probably on holiday
- You’ve been involved in the 'ice lolly or lolly ice' and 'batch or barm cake' debate.
- It’s ‘Wirral’, not ‘The Wirral’. Unless you’re saying ‘The Wirral Peninsula’.
- You have an opinion on windfarms
- You’re never more than 15 minutes away from the beach. Which is great.
