To detest most scouse celebrities

[Afroturf]

Cilla Black, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Tarbuck et al - celebrities who take every opportunity to remind us about their days in Scottie Road and all who, coincidentally, moved away from the city years ago.

What fake accents....I have never heard anyone else speak with Cilla Black's particular accent.

And now bloody Les Dennis has reared his head. God, how I've loathed him on Celebrity Masterchef - another one harking back about 'me Mam and Dad in Liverpool'. Fuck off. He was on radio 2 this morning with Rhod Gilbert and, my word, what a fucking name dropping twat. It was embarrassing.

I am not a fan.

Now I must mention that I'm from Liverpool, a city I love and live in today. I can't, however, abide these 'professional scousers' who go on and on about where they're from. Perhaps it's to try and fool us plebs that they are one of us. Again, do fuck off.

I don't want this thread to descend into an anti-Liverpool rant as my city is a very special place but wonder if anyone agrees with me. I think it's probably the fact that they come from the same place as me that I have a particular distain for them. I dare say that slebs from other parts of the UK annoy folk from their neck of the woods too.

I hate Derek Acorah can we add him to the list.

Thanks Koala DH is from a certain glass making town. I even watch rugby league these days

oh yes Jason Isaacs

I like Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnson

Does John Bishop wear false teeth, I find them mesmerising.

Not a scouser but lots of family are and often seething about scouse celebs - that sound like nothing from Liverpool and certainly in CB case also make it sound vulgar

Hate, Mel C, CB and Jimmy Tarbuck and Paul McCartney, Stan Broadman, Claire Sweeney

Love, Peter Sissons, Jason Issacs, Tom Baker, Alison Steadman and Kenny Everett

Oh and John Bishop makes me want to chew my own hand off

Tom Baker the proper Dr Who?

Join the very same

Another exiled scouser here. Yes yes to "Fab Macca Thumbs Aloft", grrr, what a helmet.
Alexie Sayle was ok, but he's become something of an oracle. He's not a total gobshite yet.
Anyone remember Stan Boardman? He is the worst, going on about "the Germans! The Germans! They bombed our chippy". He get the scouser bell end of all time award.

John Bishop's a twat? Gutted.

OMG I DID NOT KNOW ALISON STEADMAN IS A SCOUSER!!!!

That's really pleased me

Oh Tom Baker gave me so many happy hours as a child :)

Glad he is an acceptable scouser.

Although had no idea he was one.

WoollyBacksWife my DH is from the home of Butter Pie. If you know where that is you win a prize!

Mel C is from Widnes. She went to school with my auntie.

Nicola from girls aloud really pisses me off saying she's a scouser. You're from Runcorn!!
Runcorn is not, nor will it ever be part of Liverpool

Koala I'm inclined to say somewhere around Chorley - only because my sister lives there and it is the only place I've seen them. So how far off am I?

Another post confirming John bishop is a total nobber.
I like Paul O'Grady but the fact he's mates with Cilla puts me off.
Speaking of Cilla, MIL grew up with her, she was known as 'snotty Cilla' back then, with her permanent runny nose!
Mel C gets on my tits, her voice is like scratching nails on a blackboard

Butter pie has to be Wigan surely?

Woolly you're spot on! Nowhere else has them. DH is obsessed.

Stuntgirl Wigan is the home of ALL THE PIES!

@join @frizz You can also have Paul McGann & Lis Sladen from Le Who, & I'll throw in Leonard Rossiter as another top scouserer

We are getting somewhere with the Acceptable Scouser list now:

Stephen Graham
Peter Sissons
Jason Issacs
Tom Baker
Kenny Everett
Alison Steadman...

Erm, Leonard Rossiter? Kim Cattrall. The best Becky Sharpe of all time, Natasha Little. Pete Postlethwaite and Julie Walters both trained at the Everyman, but I don't know if they were born here.

There MUST be others, there must be...

ELVIS COSTELLO!

He used to work in the Giro, you know.

Fred the weatherman?
That bloke who played Jimmy Corkill in Brookside is lovely in rl.

father (love the name BTW :) )

Paul McGann as in the I from Withnail and I?

There are some of very good secret scousers, aren't there?

I know exactly what you mean, it's like kiddie-on Scots, e.g. Sheena Easton and Billy Connolly. Very successful people and good luck to them, but those exaggerated accents when they 'come home' do my head in.

Och Aye the Noo! (No we don't really say that)

Ian Hart, Lesley Sharp, and David Morrissey are also acceptable.

But that's definitely IT.
