That is exactly what an Easyjet pilot told passengers on a recent flight as the plane flew over Liverpool at 35,000ft. http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,91059-13247714,00.html

Apparently some people failed to see the joke...

Oh dear... :rolleyes:

That's the best in flight announcement since an Emirates F/A said "we are now landing in the UAE, please set your watches back 1000 years". The announcer got fired by the way!

That's actually quite funny... :D

Though not a very clever thing to say if you value your job.

The funniest one I can remember hearing of involved a small commuter aircraft that was carrying a treatment group for those who suffer from a fear of flying amongst it's passenger's. Apparently,after hearing from one of the crew that some of the aforemetioned group were uneasy with being on such a small aircraft,the captain goes onto the PA system to give the group a bit of sight seeing to take their minds off their nerves,or so the passenger's think, he began the tour with

"Ladies and gentlemen,I understand some of you are a bit nervous about being on such a small aircraft,so to take your mind's off it I'd like to show you some of the sights we'll be overflying today.So to begin,if you'd look out over the right wing.............IT'LL TIP OVER!"

Apparently this set off panic attacks and the whole works,so I don't imagine the guy keeping his job somehow, pretty funny though.....

Can anyone explain the joke to an outsider? I've been to Liverpool but got away with my wallet safe! ;)

People from Liverpool (or Scousers as they're also known as) have been stereotyped as thieves, lazy, on benefits, not willing to work, etc.

There is much (friendly) banter and jokes regarding Scousers, though some of them are obviously fed up with the stereotyping.

Liverpool is a Very Nice city! I like it much more than Manchester or Birmingham, and the city had cleaned up its image.
There's crime in every city so that EZY pilot should say the same bout London, or Paris ( where my camera got nicked back in 1996 :mad: )
Bring on 2008! :D

Birmingham is a fantastic city, any images of a industrial city should be chucked out the window. The second city is much better than Manchester or Liverpool. BTW i'm not a 'brummie' and neither are the majority of people in this great city so any streotype you have with that irratating accent that should be chucked too. I think the Liverpool accent is REALLY annoying, especially if you listen to the Easyjet staff on "Airline"...... :dev2:

What a daft statement! ;)

What makes one city "better" than another anyway?
