Liverpool One
 
on Tuesday i decided to TRY and get into the christmas spirit and along with Reece and Ciara, took a trip to Liverpool...

when we arrived at Lime Street Station we followed the signs to LIVERPOOL ONE, i expected it to be a wonderful place, maybe something on the lines of The Trafford Centre....i was soooooooo wrong


its crap.....

all it is, is a few streets of shops...and thats it
i was most disapointed


anyone else been?

That’s a pity, it looks like it would be well worth a visit too :( I was going to have a look myself, might leave it until I hear more reports.

City centers have a habit of containing shops and such like places. A bit of a bore really.:confused::confused:

I find shopping just downright boring these days, no matter where you travel to its just the exact same shops, just either bigger or smaller! Not too many town centres with much individual character any more i'm afraid.

Hull is actually quite good for shopping. It's not really trafford center ;) But I know people who prefer it to the likes of Leeds.

Nik and Laura went to Liverpool on Saturday and, amongst other things, had a look at Liverpool 1. She said it was like a typical High St of 20 years ago, but on 2 levels, and she liked it. It wouldn't appeal to me as I don't enjoy shopping.

From what she said it sounded much like Warrington used to be, when most of the shops and stores were on 3 streets in the town centre. They have now been replaced by a much enlarged Mall, which is very nice in its way, leaving the main shopping streets lined with empty shops and ever-increasing clubs and bars.

I don't think Liverpool 1 is going to compete with the Trafford Centre but, at least, there's a lot more to see and do in Liverpool. They had a brilliant day out, including the Dr Who exhibition and even a ride on the ferry to Wallasey and back.

It's neither Manchester or Liverpool, it's in Salford Quays. :)

If you are from Salford they defend their independence from Manchester with great vigour, a bit like those on here from Ossie who swear they are not part of Accrington :D

Mixing up the Lowry with the Tate, perhaps. The Albert Dock's worth a visit too.

Didn't go as well as planned and now applying for the part of scarface next time there's a remake :(

MargaretR 09-01-2009 09:05

Re: Liverpool One
 
Scars can enhance the 'rugged man' look.
Just dont have a nose job like Tom Jones did - he has that dreadful 'little piggy 'look

Lancaster is rubbish for shops but it has some little treasures here and there and the market is really nice and very multi-cultural too. The best thing is probably the cafés we have here though.

Sadly we now have a starbucks :( eurgh.

Apparently Lancaster has one of the UK's best Chippys but cant recall its name, i think it was voted best one last year or maybe 2007!

If I remember rightly Lancaster is one of the hardest place to make deliveries in the country, you can usually see where you want to go, but getting there is another matter, by road that is:rolleyes:
