Mrs Gti has to go to Liverpool 2-3 times a month on business and each time she comes back with another funny story. Last time, she was at the toll booth for one of the Mersey tunnels paying the young girl on duty. There was a mahoosive cruise liner moored close by, towering over the area.
"That's a big ship isn't it!" observes Mrs Gti.
The girl looks over her shoulder and sees the ship for the first time (Liverpool accent here) "Jesus Christ! I didn't realise the fookin' water was so close!"
On another occasion she was in a store and saw the assistant locking some goods away in a cabinet. The assistant saw her looking surprised and told her: "This is a terrible area, we get a lotta holdups!"
Mrs Gti: "Oh I know, the traffic down this road is awful, I've been stuck for ages!"
Assistant, in slightly patronising voice: "Not THAT kinda hold-up!"
