[mrchipper12345]

I'm originally from Old Swan and moved to St Helens 22 Years ago, I currently work as a taxi Driver for Saints cars. Thanks for posting this on here, It was very interesting.

[j0rdyb0y62]

[greatlancashireguy]

[MonkeymagicsMum]

[SamHLFC1]

Cock

[ezrolla]

Mmmmmmm another!!! ;-P yum yum! Good haul so far...

[ezrolla]

Quick check on the keep net = 2

[SamHLFC1]

Ezrolla. Given that you 'wanna know' by which I assume you mean 'want to know', I find it rich that you criticise the local dialect. Which, clearly, has nothing to do with education or academic ability. Unlike your inappropriate use of the English language. Indeed.

[ezrolla]

@MissLaVie don't get so defensive its just a simple question. I just find it baffling that some grown men and women talk like children in St Helens, even when they know what they are saying is clearly wrong, that's all. If I lived there it would annoy me!

[MissLaVie002100]

Why has this comment section on this video become a medium for venting hate towards this town and its people? If you don't like St Helens then please don't waste your precious time typing it into YouTube and then watching this video, anyone would think you actually like this place.

[ezrolla]

What I wanna know is how can a grown man or woman from St HELENS who has gone through education and gained full understanding of the English language, still insist on calling a bottle a "bockle" ?! Or a hospital a "hospickle" ?!

It's bizarre.

[tezmt88]

@ezrolla Im from St Helens and i dont speak like that, its bizarre that you want to find the answer to a question like that. You must lead an interesting life....

[BassGoodForTheSoul]

Where did that art deco Tyrers building used to be? 0:30

[philround]

Excellent

[PuR3ish]

[Candy14313]

Okay let me get this straight..we from st helens are not scousers..we got changed for some shit reason and we would really accept people NOT making fun of us...or taking the mick...and were not shit helens either..were all bugged from christmas enough bloody said...ok mate bless x

[IAmMeTisAll]

If there was any town ripe for raising to the ground and rebuilding, then St Helens is it. Just look at the retards hanging around town on a Saturday night. 'Nuff said.

[naughtypumpkin]

SHIT HELENS SHIT HELENS SHIT HELENS!

[Mazza4Azza]

The town that was ahead of the factory revolution. You see all these factories on here and all the huge chimneys. Poeple just don't realise how famous they are today.

[kevinmckillopjsm]

So f""@k ya cos I live on Wigan now!!! Ha ha had to get out to a real Lancashire town!

[kevinmckillopjsm]

I love my town but it's like cocoon these days, or folk on mobility scooters, or wanna be hard knocks, or scallys, or druggies, or johnnie wellies givin ya shit ( not seen him for a bit, hope he is ok?).....even the thousand bars and night life has seen it's day, but we keep on keeping on and no matter what our opinions are we are still deep Down proud of where we come from and would defend it's name to any outsider!!!!!

[ResidentMich]

Good to see some older sights on here!!!!!

[Craig79craig]

Well I ain't racist and none of my family or friends are and I have never seen racism affect any of my friends

[Craig79craig]

St helens is now in merseyside has been all my life get a grip people. Why the fook can some people not move on. And some of the postings some of you have put just make the town sound like a horrible place. Be proud people

[jayangli]

@Craig79craig a very very racist town

[0manutd7]

@Craig79craig Because people think we are scousers when were not, St Helens should be known as Lancashire once again.

[Onyxforce]

@0manutd7 I would prefer us to be seperate

[bigmull123]

Good but could have had atleast one pic of the rugby stadium

[obbsessed1993]

Great video :)

[denanme]

Thank God somebody in St Helens still has something sensible to put on youtube.

I was giving up hope.

[CHARLOTTExR0S3]

You should've lost hope a long time ago if you're from St Helens.

[laurenovclink13]

You never know what you've got til it's gone. Great town. Great people. Unique. Like the Viet Cong fighting against the inexorable march of Scousers and Mancs.

[RMNOLEKS]

its merseyside laaaaaaaaaaaa

[gersaint18]

St Helens is Lancsahire not merseyside.

[deterior23]

st. helens is in Lancashire and Merseyside.

Lancashire the historic country (which hasn't been altered) and Merseyside the former administrative, now ceremonial county. Both exist, as layers upon each other, if you will. If you look at the Merseyside emblem, you'll see Red Roses on it to indicate Lancashire. So, St. Helens, Lancashire / St. Helens, Merseyside are both acceptable.

[obbsessed1993]

St.Helens is Merseyside look it up people god!

[AndyJay15]

St Helens is in Merseyside but it actually isn't Merseyside.

[lilmissboyluver]

I love living in st.helens and its nice to be appreciated 4 once
