Correct, last post on this as it's off topic.
But as a "City of Culture" Liverpool has it all. The waterfront and the city centre Rival any city. Streets ahead of Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield.
Outside of the capital the only city that narrowly beats it, is Edinburgh.

Wrong, wrong wrong,
Take it from some one that grew up in Liverpool in the 80's. The redevelop of Liverpool started in the 80's, around 84/85 if you want to put a year on it.
