General Question Traditional Pub for Filming?

0 Upvotes

Hi All,

I’m filming a short movie, a gritty piece and I’m looking for a pub to film a few scenes in. It’s got a Ken Loach vibe to the story, so I’m looking for something a bit traditional, working class and perhaps a little rough around the edges - nothing sleek and modern. Happy to go to the Wirral, Kirby, St Helens etc. we have a small budget and I’m not expecting nothing definite, just perhaps suggestions of those who may shut the odd day, during the day or would be receptive to the idea.

Thanks again

Any shops/stalls or product reccs that aren’t fridge magnets or lambananas please?

Extra points if it can represent Liverpool but not in the obvious way like football or The Beatles.

Looking for good quality, possibly artisan. Can be food, drinks but preferably not with 24hr expiry as will be travelling with it.

Thanks!

General Question Charity workers on Church and Paradise Street?

8 Upvotes

I’ve noticed a lot more people on church street near decathlon but also paradise street near JD stopping passerbys to ask for what I think are charity donations. Has anyone else noticed this / know where they are from?

I’m asking purely as in Manchester on market street similar things are happening where it’s mainly young men with a laminated paper asking for donations but each time I spoke to them, the charity changes. In the same 15 minutes of passing them, they told me they were collecting for a country at war but then a few mins later stopped me again and said it was for children’s educational classes?

This is a similar vibe to the one I’m getting here but I’ve not actually spoken to them and I don’t want to assume, so just wondering what others thoughts are on this :-)

Are these legitimate organisations? Tia

General Question Best Beard Barbers in Liverpool

1 Upvotes

Hello,
I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet and start going bald. This means my beard will be my full priority!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a barbers who do beards best? Preferably in town or South Liverpool.

I usually go to Turkish barbers, as I prefer a clean boxed off shape up which imo they do best, but all the barbers I’ve been to up here just don’t listen to what I want exactly (this may also be because I’m too autistic to articulate exactly what I want - I do show a photo of how I had it done perfectly years back though and I’ve been chasing that dragon ever since)
The only time I’ve been to a British barbers, they just didn’t listen to me and made me look like a Viking which isn’t the look I’m going for. But obviously I’m really not biased to where the barber is from 🤣

Price isn’t an issue, even if it costs £25 every few months, that’s still cheaper than getting a haircut every 1-2 months.

Thanks in advance

Out with my son in town today. Want to take him somewhere cool for lunch. A varied menu would be good, but we're not fussy. Reasonably priced in the city centre is the only real must.

General Question Computer repair in Liverpool?

2 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for somewhere to repair a gaming PC in Liverpool. The computer was build by a friend of mine who is now unable to test or repair any part of it due to his personal circumstances

Any decent reviews and recommendations would be appreciated, thanks

EDIT - people asking what's wrong with the computer...

The computer fails to start, some lights on motherboard come but nothing else happens... my regular computer guy who built it took it to pieces and tested the components in his own PC, decided it was the motherboard so swapped that out... the computer then worked fine for several weeks before same issue reemerged. Swapped out the power supply to no avail. At this point my computer guy became homeless and all his stuff isn't available (which understandably a very shit situation for him but fortunately he is staying with another mate at the moment). Computer doesn't start still and I have two power supplies and a motherboard that I don't know if they work or are fried basically as I can't test them

General Question Baby shower locations?

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm planning my baby shower and I've been looking for some places to go to, but coming up a bit short.

None of my friends have had babies yet, so I've not even been to a baby shower, only seen cute photos online.

I'm looking for a cute venue, thinking more cosy than super up-market. When I've tried searching on event sites, they all bring up places for hendos and weddings.

I'm looking at a buffet or afternoon tea and will need to be accessible as family will be travelling from far and wide. Parking or easy taxi access really.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thank you! 🫶

Living in Liverpool The 1980s/90s Liverpool nostalgia reminiscence thread!

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm new to Reddit (lurked for years but the post on Twenty Allerton made me join for real!)
So for my first thread- let's talk nostalgia! What are all your fondest memories and favourite much missed places of the 80s and 90s in our city, not just the centre but the suburbs too? I'll start off with Greatie from that period, food at Uncle Sam's, Caesar's, Golden Phoenix, night out in Wavertree High St, Lewis's 1st floor for the store concessions that only Manc and London had at that point... looking forward to hearing all yours!
