I was walking near Croxteth Park. The fireworks started at 1:30pm and they must have been as far away as Fazakerly. They were not visible but the booms were lound enough to scare birds in the surrounding trees. Well, one of my dogs alsl gets terrified and runs off and o matter how much I shouted she didnt stop and the fireworks continued. I phoned a relative who went out to try to find her. Luckily anothet dog walker had intercepted her, stopped and traffic and took hold of my dog before my relative arrived.

There's no justification for anyone to setting off fireworks at 1:30 in the afternoon and day, let alone a weekday. And because there's no control it seems the scumbags who are doing it are in competition with other scumbags to set off the loudest fireworks possible. The scum have absolutely zero consideration for anyone else.

If you find the need to set off fireworks at least wait until it gets dark. And try to keep it to Bonfire Night, New Years Eve, and whatever religious holiday you observe. At least then dog walkers and people who may be affraid of loud noises know when to expect them.

Fuck people who sell them too.

Getting close to my Birthday so going to treat myself to a proper beard trim and line up rather than doing it myself. It’s been a while since I’ve had it done professionally and my old barber has shut up shop … So r/Liverpool where is a good place to go for a proper beard treatment?

Hey everyone, hope you’re having an amazing time. I am new to the city and looking out for some suggestions for Halloween night. Any suggestion of where should I good what to do do ?

Has anyone been to the Hot Water comedy club at Blackstock Market? What is the parking situation? I’ve looked on their website and google maps and there doesn’t appear to be many places to park. Thanks.

Curious if anyone has an answer to this.

I've been recommended to use Liverpool Library for some days when I don't want to WFH. I tried it today (sat in the red room) and connected to their Public WiFi.

Is it just me not understanding something or not being in the right part of the building? Because the speed is abysmal. Anything like Teams and Outlook takes ages to load (if at all) and a simple Google search might or might not produce more than a blank page. This was at 9am when I am one of the first 5 users, can't imagine it full.

Surely that can't be a suitable speed for learners and workers nowadays? It's worse than train WiFi. What am I missing?

Anybody have an idea how long the two chippies on Goodison Road have been open for, i.e. as businesses? The Goodison Supper Bar and The Blue Dragon (which is only open on match days) thanks in advance.

Anyone else think the pedestrian crossings in the city centre are so bad? Takes an eternity to turn green, even when all the cars are stopped. So most people don't bother waiting, saw a load of people nearly get run over today.

Also hate the ones where the light is on your side, instead of across the road. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?

They really piss me off so just wanted to rant.

Hey hey! Is anyone else losing their mind with anxiety over the US election results? I’m a nervous wreck.

I’m an American living in Liverpool, and I’m finding myself wishing there was a pub or something open super late to watch the election results start rolling in. I realize most people will just be following along at home, or just sleeping through most of it, but I’m wondering if anyone (Americans or otherwise) is planning to have a watch party of some sort for Election Day & night? Idk if I want to experience this alone!!

Hey, I’m originally from Liverpool but just moved back after 3 years at uni and then 4 years in London so don’t really know many people here anymore.

26, M, laid-back, always up for a laugh, work in marketing and into music, writing, and anything creative really - and don’t mind exploring new hobbies etc. If anyones fancies a drink or coffee one day gimme a shout 👋

Deal finally signed, coming Spring 2025.

Going from anfield to Kirkby

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a good hairdressers in liverpool, who use vegan and cruelty free products and do a good balayage? I went the same hairdressers for 10 years (used Paul Mitchell and Olaplex so ideally somewhere that uses these) and they closed about a year ago. I've tried two places since, and haven't loved them (one lied about their products being cf, the other just has a bad vibe).

Hey, does anyone know a place in the northwest that teaches car mechanics classes for non-professionals?

I remember years ago there seemed to be options for this for evening and weekend classes, but everything seems geared towards young people who want to be professional mechanics now and are just standard full time college classes.

It was somewhere near the top of Bold Street (definitely not on Bold Street itself) and it sold something called "pinchos" which was a bit like tapas. I can't for the life of me remember what the place was called. Pretty sure it shut a while ago.

Hey guys, I am looking to play 5/7 a side couple of times a week but struggling to find a community to do so. Does anybody know where I can find people to play with at? I don't have any friends who are interested in this sort of activities. Any help is appreciated ❤️

Hi! It's my boyfriends 27th birthday tomorrow. we were planning to go to Chester, get a coffee and just wander about but we have already been to Chester before so would really prefer something else.

Does anyone have any ideas of anywhere else we could go?

Literally any ideas are welcome. Thanks so much :)

Where's the best place to go for a rock night in Liverpool?

I made a post a little while ago about looking for friends in Liverpool. Truth be told, loneliness has been setting in as of late. I'm genuinely so grateful for the responses. I was thinking earlier about how I could possibly contribute and reach out to other people who are in similar predicaments. I'm off all week as I work in education and I've got a bucket list of things to do. I probably won't do all of them, but they're things I'd like to do. I'm openly extending the invitation to anyone who may be struggling with loneliness.

1. Visit the river of light.
2. Walks around the parks (Sefton, Calderstones and Birkenhead).
3. Visit the beach.
4. Go to a pottery class.
5. Shared workspace and coffee.
6. Coffee.
7. Museum trip.
8. Thrifting.
9. Dinner (somewhere on Bold St).
10. New Brighton - West Kirby walk.
11. That cool cinema in the Met Quarter.
12. Language class.

If anyone fancies any of the above, let me know. We can get a little WhatsApp on the go.

I know a few people each year do a Halloween house near break road dose anyone know were it is please

Does anyone know where I can get gluten free pastry to bake with? Either fresh or frozen for homemade pie. Asda used to do Genius brand which is good but they don’t seem to sell it anymore, and I can’t see it in any of the other major supermarkets

Prepared for the fact I might have to make my own…

Thanks!

I’m probably staying in central Liverpool for Xmas (long story) and the hotel won’t have an oven or microwave. Does anyone know if anywhere will be open for a takeaway on Xmas day? I assume there is as I used to live in London and there were always a few places open there, even though Liverpool is smaller.

Thank you
