And you want me to come fishing with you?
You can stick your crabs back up where you got them from.

The first one was a new PB too.
Are there 'foul hooking' guidelines for crabs?
I think in the rear right 'leg' is fair after all their mouths are fairly small.

Earlier today I went on the 'Duck' tour round Liverpool (A WW2 boat/wheeled landing craft). We were accompanied by a well behaved bunch of accompanied kids out on a trip. The guide at one point asked what 'Scousers' were called before they were known as 'Scousers' and one of the little guys (a wee Scouser himself) chirps up with...
...'Thugs?'
The guide nearly wet himself.

It was based on the name of a man who ran the biggest shipping business or the docksat the time although I cannot remember what it was now.

• adjective relating to Liverpool.
— ORIGIN abbreviation of lobscouse, a stew formerly eaten by sailors.

SCALLIES - short for Scallywags. The name comes from London where it was originally Scullyvag (a shortened version of 'scurrilous vagrant'), but it arrived in Liverpool and they couldn't pronounce it that well. So it became Scallywag. The city is still full of scallies today.

There was another name, scouse is based on the stew like Colin says but prior to this there was another name.
I have found this:
'****y Sam: earlier term than Scouser for a Liverpudlian, ****y Sam is understood to be a corruption of **** O'Sam's derived from the Lancashire form of the patronymic. It refers to someone born and bred in Liverpool, within the sounds of the bells of St, Nicholas,.the waterfront parish church there. There is a record of one Richard Samuels, landlord of an old sailortown pub called the ****y Sam Inn, which used to be on Mann Island, near the Pier Head.L'
Nicked from here.
But that was not what I was thinking of.
