I lived and worked in Liverpool for two years from 1989, I've worked all over the UK including Manchester for 6 years, London, Surrey, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Herefordshire, Devon and many other places over the last 44 years in the hotel and pub industry, I've never worked anywhere that I had to take personal abuse from staff, have my car vandalised to the point that I got rid of it and used public transport or feel that I couldn't leave any personal items in a locker other than Liverpool. My abiding memory is of a quiet Sunday evening just after 6pm, we often had problems with kids trying to get through the front doors of the hotel, along with two of our front desk porters I was clearing a group out of the front portico when the lad I had started to move out produced a hammer and tried to smack me in the face with it, he must have been all of 12 years old and I managed to shove him away from me without any contact, only in Liverpool.
