Quote getdownmonkeyman="getdownmonkeyman"The Mersey runs through Stockport too, does that make them as 'scouse' as Warringtonians?'"
If, as your fellow Wire states, that living in a "made-up" administrative borough of Merseyside is enough to make Scouse - then actually living by the side of the River Mersey ie geographically living on Merseyside, must, by definition, make you a scouser too.
So, by *his* definition, Stockport residents are Scousers too.
This just further highlilghts the ludicrousness and uneducated buffoonery of calling *anybody* who is not actually from Liverpool, scouse.
