Everyone knows Liverpool; it's the place that "all scousers have got great senses of humour", where The Beatles and, more importantly, Cilla Black, came from and where the world's greatest football team was born. Being a local anyway ot wasn't much of a hard choice to go for Liverpool to study in. We're getting stacks of cash into the city now and the Victorian Albert Dock has become pretty "au continentale" with shops and cafes and our favourite daily window on the world - This Morning with Richard and Judy. Not a lot of point in talking about particular pubs and clubs - everyone's heard of Cream but it's much more interesting to explore for yourself; needless to say there are a horrendous number of pubs all over the town interspersed with a multitude of eateries from Indian through to Chippies and China Town is supposed to have been the first in Europe. For food most of us go to Lark Lane which is right next to the Halls of Residence.
