@Foofie,
It is a badge (stinking or otherwise) which we Liverites wear proudly.
We, the shunted asided, the second choices, the marked-down-for-clearance of humanity gather here to share our stories of being passed over, skirted (but not in a good way) and relegated to the back table with the pillar blocking most of the view of the dais of life.
At least, they could have saved a seat where we could have seen the world passing us by.
