Maghull, a skid mark on the underpants of society, a part of liverpool which really should not be part of merseyside, or mainstream society for that matter. Maghull which originally was a farming hamlet has in the last century became a place for people who think that they have made it big time. Families mainly from Kirby, Aintree and Bootle flock to Maghull because it is “an apparently nicer and posher place to live”. Well lets face a few home truths about Maghull. The council tax is exactly the same as council tax in Kirby, Bootle and Aintree so the council of Liverpool or Sefton do not recognise Maghull as a special area so its just like any other rough part of liverpool. The fact that it is on the other side of switch island and in a leafy sub-urban part of merseyside is to blame for the creation of this “myth”. So, why is Maghull such a poor place to live and why should it be placed on this website. I will explain.
Maghull is a breeding ground for a new revolutionary type of Liverpool scum called “The Wannabe Bad Boy” bascially a fella who has been brought up in Maghull who grows up to believe himself to be a hardened scally who is hard and who thinks he is a gangster. The evidence for this accusation is rife. If you go to the Meadows pub on a Sunday night or the Coach and Horses you will see lads who walk around pretending to act hard and who make out that they recieve their money from illegal means. The reality is that these boys live with mummy and daddy and who probably work for mummy and daddy’s company with no names mentioned! The “wannabe bad boy” will also drive around in mummy and daddys car in the evening pretending that the car is theirs and that they conduct their “buisiness” in it. The common car that a maghull lad now drives at the moment is either a Vauxhall Vectra, a second hand lexus, or a volkswagen GTI which again WONT be theirs. However they succeed in pulling the easy girls from the pubs in maghull because girls in maghull are mostly orange faced money obsessed slags who want to latch on to a drug dealer or doorman as soon as possible but this type of woman originates from all places in liverpool so there is no change there but more on Maghull Women later. Maghull lads, most of them are not hard. They do not deal drugs and they do not possess any type of aggressiveness or obnoxiousness about them. They are not to be feared. If you wish to see a proper hard knock scally lad who is to be kept at a distance then please feel free to visit Toxteth, Dovecot or Ackers Hall or any other romantic hotspots in liverpool. Lads from Maghull tend not to enter mainstream society, they cocoon themselves in their pubs such as the red house (which is a shed which does actually have fungus growing in it) the coach and horses, the weld blundell, the hare and hounds and most importantly the Meadows which unfortuantly missed a stray bomb in the second world war when a bomb from a dive bomber landed in what is at present the rear car park. Evidence that the Germans even know how bad the place actually is. After a the meadows has called last orders on a sunday night there is a ritual gathering outside the pub because no one knows how to get a cab home. Also girls and boys who have been drinking there on a sunday night make the arrangements on who they are going home with? Has anyone seen the American Sitcom M*A*S*H? Well my point is in this series the doctors have had all the nurses on the unit and all move from one nurse to the next swapping nurses night after night with eachother. This is exactly what happens in the Meadows, only that the lads are the doctors and the girls are the nurses. Maghull lads also tend not to go to liverpool city centre at night because they feel insecure in town, why? Because they cant pretend that they are hard or violent in town because everyone in liverpool knows that Maghull is not a violent place such as toxteth or anfield. In summary of Maghull boys, if you take away the lacoste tracksuits and mummy and daddys car and money, you would be left with a lad who would be best suited to live in poshest and wealthiest parts of the Wirral or Cheshire because these lads are too soft for their own good and would surely not survivie in a city setting away from their parent’s protection. If they were placed in a container they would drown in their own bullshit spewing from their overly pronounced scouse accent speaking mouths.
Moving swfitly on to girls from Maghull. Now girls from Maghull are just like girls from any other part of Liverpool. Most of them being orange, dangerously thin, money obsessed, self thinking peices of work. However the difference is Maghull girls are easly impressed and easily led on. Many a time have i been to the meadows and the coach and horses and have pulled girls just because i bought them ONE yes ONE drink and my car was parked outside. Thats how easy it really is and if you dont believe me try it for yourself. Girls from Maghull also believe that they too are from “da hood” that they also are hard, but the reality is they are only as hard as their current dealer or doorman boyfriend is at the time. I have spoken to many doormen and cabbies and have been told the same thing time after time after time. That the pubs in Maghull are stomping grouds for dealers and doormen from other areas in Liverpool due to the fact that it is so easy to get a shag from a girl from maghull. The more hard you are, the better car you have and the more money you have the easier it is to get a girl from their, and if you are actually a doorman or a drug dealer then you might as well never get married because you will have an ever flowing supply of Maghull Pussy. I know this because i have an ugly friend, and i mean an ugly ugly friend, he even knows himself to be very unattractive, but he drives a Range Rover HSE which even though it isnt his he once pretended that it was one sunday night and parked it right outside the meadows. We were immediatly confronted by a whord of girls smoking outside the front entrance to the meadows wereby my friend blagged that he was head doorman for the edwards bar in town. He got laid that night in the girls house as her parents were away in the lake district at the time. Need i say any more? Girls from maghull also overly dress for the pub. I mean, what girl or person would go to the pub dressed in the most revealing desinger clobber? Girls in the meadows wear practically nothing all year round and its just a pub, not a club or a bar, just an old mans pub which has a DJ in it on sunday nights. Its like going to the grafton but only that the girls age range is between 12-17, most girls from maghull over this age are usually kept behind lock and key by their dealer or doormen boyfriends. Also girls over this age from maghull have probably shagged about half the male population in the area and so therefore can no longer show their faces in such places. A final reason is that some lucky girls move to liverpool and have escaped the wrath of the cocooned maghull area and realised what fools they were to think that life in Maghull was reality.
Finally we move the fact that Maghull thinks itself to be more than it actually is. There are signs round maghull pointing to “Maghull Town Centre” MAGHULL DOESNT HAVE A TOWN CENTRE! Their apparent town centre has about 10 shops in it and a police station. That sounds more like a village to me. The only reason there is a police station in Maghull is so that Merseyside Police can keep monitoring 3 drug barons that live in Maghull, i know this because i have a few friends who are in the force.
In summary Maghull itself is not a rough place to live however it does harbour this new type of scally scum both girls and boys. If it wasnt for Maghull then clubs such as the living rooms, garlands, the newz bar and all other hives for “wanna be bad boys” would be out of buisiness.
There are some decent living folk who live there but this decent folk is comprised of mainly pensioners and white collar workers. Other people who live their simply have moved there from other parts of liverpool thinking that they are the dogs who have succeeded in life. Simply not true, i could live in Maghull right now and i am in my early 20′s. Doesnt say much does it? Anyone who is coming to liverpool for capital culture, if you cant pull in liverpool city centre or anywere else for that matter, go to Maghull. And if you fancy a laugh at the Maghull “scallies” then go for it, you wont be disapointed.
brilliant
Oh yeah – ooooooooooooooooohhhhh got a degree and from croxteth amazing get the lack of intelligence – they give degrees to anyone point proven!!!!!
You sad individual i would love to know where you live obviously a an amazing place based on your grasp on the English Language. You spent at least a day putting this tripe together what a life you must lead! Places like maghull have community idiot something that is lacking in Liverpool for a very long time and i grew up in such a community which no longer exsists – You can’t even spell KIR’K'BY so you must be from the South or Southport. I belive you are jealous and ‘wannabe’ a maghull resident. Saddo
Right then ..i’m all-in,withya …it was a top write …grammar was boss…and as if you give a shit what i say about it…i like that..n what you wrote n the way you wrote it….the Formby thing was just to get you in the zone…anyways Maghulls The Twilight Zone n is Shit!!!!
i agree with redbydawn, maghull peeps are wool type plastic scousers, they certainly fit into tht category
Yet more satelite town, “I’m a proper Scouser me” types who are just wools who need to get a grip.
was funny that….lived in Maghull a few times…people who where brought up from birth,i’ll have that…people who settle in Maghull,i’m one from Litherland…Maghull years ago WAS the biggest housin estate in Europe…nice one anyways….would like to know where you from tho…i reckon you from either south end or Norris green (BARKER Country)….anyways …a clever write about Maghull…ELi
No sunshine i live in west derby, i used to live in croxteth before i lived in anfield and then moved to were i am. I dont disagree that what i have wrote is in top spec grammar because i usually type what i have to say then fook off, its not a university essay which is gonna be marked by examiners so i pay my spelling, grammar no mind, as long as people understand it then thats fine by me. Formby, please, as if i would live there. No i hav’nt been knocked back by girls in maghull, quite the opposite actually. I obviously did listen in school because i have graduated from university. I dont think im upperclass at all which you should have understood if you read my articles properly. Your welcome to call me whatever you want, sticks n stones aint it but ive seen enough of the areas i have wrote about and thats good enough for me
LOL you have this spot on chief but face it u are a twat who clearely thinks hes upperclass. Let me guess you live in formby. Personally i think your a total farcicle!
Where did you go to school? Did you even listen when you went to school? Your use of grammar is appalling. Your use of repetition in a sentence is a disgrace.
I have no problem with most of the content of your ridiculous tirade and as we live in a democracy you have the right to write what you like. However, your nasty description of the young ladies of Maghull is just venomous trash. Been knocked back too many times have you little boy?
You do appear to have the ability to tell a funny story though, but your poor grammar and sentence structure leaves any reader confused at best or worse, easily bored by your writing.
If you want to be taken seriously with whatever you write just learn the basics at least.
Try and remember you are from the England that gave us Dickens, Shakespear, Tennyson and Chaucer and read more books for fucks sake.
You’ve wrote about it on another part of this site, i see that you have written about a lot of places that you obviously look down on, you and a lot of people on this site. Most places in Liverpool do have young lads hanging around the streets and the shops, etc, but, as your the expert on maghull, tell me where else there is to go for young teens. And almost every area has a pub with people who think they are gangsters, but the people you mentioned really are not like this, maybe a few years ago they were, but there not teenagers now, and have done something most people do, and grow up. I’ve lived in maghull for 23 years now, and a good set of friends who only go out for a drink to socialise, have done in the meadows a few times and dont see any of what you see. My point generally is that although maghull, like every other area has got some bad eggs in terms of people, they are a very small minority of people who live there.
I dont need a reality check and when did i say that i am from a posh estate in west derby please? Hmmmmm, weird. Your welcome and anyone else is welcome to call me a snob, a crackpot, gooch or whatever but they and yourself are also welcome to go look at the evidence for my opinions which in maghull is everywere.
ihatescalls, ive been looking through your comments and you need a reality check. Your saying that people move to maghull thinking they are better than other people, and then speak as though your better than them, saying sbout yor posh estate in west derby, and drinking in the baby cream, ive been the baby cream and theres more wannabe gangsters in there than in most places. Fair enough there are some people who act as if there something special, but the majority of people in maghull work hard for there money, go out on the weekend and like to relax, same as anywhere, and if Liverpool is so bad, move out of it, im certain it would be a much better place for it
Im not quite sure when you visited maghull but Iv lived there about 5 years and not really noticed any of this before. But then I dont go to the local pubs and live in a creepily quiet estate. Grew up in Orrel Park and il admit it was a relief to move away to somewhere you can walk to local shops without watching your back. 2 places tho that “scals” seem to like is outside Dayes Lane Shops, really why!? hords of 16 year olds lingering outside the co-op and then the track suit clad lads at the train station.. ? Much prefare liverpool city centre! Get what you see and can have a laugh.
oh i totally agree, but to be honest i think the maghull scallys need taking down a peg or two because they put themselves on a pedastal thinking they are the ultimate hard knocks of society when they clearly arnt. I mean take for example the individuals such as Mike Bond, and Mike Arden who live in maghull, They are only 19 and 20 and think that they are gangsters but really all they do is drink in the red house and pretend to be hard just because they may get their mates a 20 bag of weed every month.
i agree with most of the comments on this page. Am not from Maghull, but unfornately picked to go to a secondary school dere, under the illusion dat it was a quiet residential area with a lot to offer in terms of education…. HOW WRONG I WAS!! not only was it full of tangoed brassy-bitches/wannabe slag girls, but it was infested with dick ed maghull lads who were desperate to show ow ard and scouse they were. The difference between maghull and other scally areas such as bootle, kirkby, and netherton, is that you just that you swap the sweaty run down council estates with posh semi detached houses.
However, the biggest problem Maghull has today, is that because of the apparent dick-ed mentality the maghully-woolies have adopted, other gangs from nearby areas (walton, kirkby, aintree, netherton) show up every weekend in their hordes and fuck the place up, just to make a point that maghully-backs arent as hard/scally as they make themselves out to be!
well u have asked a decent question so i will give a decent answer, obviously if u r not obsessed with money, sunbeds or hard fat necked criminal men then clearly u are of the minority as i assume ur brother is aswell and i believe i have the right to comment because i have 2 mates who live in maghull who moved their from wavertree about 2 years maghull so i spend alot of time there. I go to the pubs because basically its funny to see young girls who are not a day older than 17 get pulled by men who r twice their age and of the stocky criminal population. I didnt complain about the place bein full of old people because thats no crime but the young population of the place really needs to get a grip.
i dont get ye hellsbells
brilliant article – but as a femalewhat do we have to do to pull the maghull lads?
Very true – only been to Maghull a few times but what struck me was the wannabe bad boys there, all go to the local gym, constantly lift weights and go on sunbeds. Last time I went to Crosby about a year ago I could sense that the place was turning into the new Maghull. You sum up the shallow attitude of Maghull women to a tee!
