Nah. It was called In my Liverpool home (no 's'), which is why I get pissed off, being a pedantic twat, that it's sung as 'In our Coventry homes'.
Sorry, late to this thread.
Standing down now.

In our Coventry homes was originally a folk song from Liverpool called in our Liverpool homes which also included the line “if you want a cathedral we’ve got one to spare”. Liverpool is the only city in the UK that officially has two cathedrals. A catholic one and a Protestant one. Reason being a history of Irish catholic immigration. Liverpool also used to be as sectarian as Glasgow until the catholic and Protestant dockers united to strike for fair pay, better working conditions and stand together against other social injustices. They soon found out that they had a lot in common and sectarianism was bullshit in the big scheme of things. I’m sure you’ll still find sectarianism in Liverpool if you go looking for it but nothing compared to Glasgow or Northern Ireland.
Agreed - the 's' suggests everyone has 2 cathedrals in their houseNah. It was called In my Liverpool home (no 's'), which is why I get pissed off, being a pedantic twat, that it's sung as 'In our Coventry homes'.

It irks me much more that we sing the line "We speak with an accent exceedingly rare" (which let's be honest most people think we're Brummies), yet omit the line "Meet under a statue exceedingly bare" - far more pertinent to the City!Agreed - the 's' suggests everyone has 2 cathedrals in their house
Because the centre is everywhere. If everything in the universe came into existence at the big bang from a singularity, then everything must also be at the centre of that singularity.If the Big Bang Theory is correct, how come astronomers can't locate the centre of the universe?
Have you seen the 3D printers they've got?Why do you never see any Chinese bricklayers considering they are responsible for building the biggest wall of all time?
Are people in China saying why do you never see British bricklayers considering that they built Hadrians wall?Why do you never see any Chinese bricklayers considering they are responsible for building the biggest wall of all time?
No.Are people in China saying why do you never see British bricklayers considering that they built Hadrians wall?
And yes I know Hadrian was a Roman but it would have been the British that were forced to build it.
I don’t know, I’ve never been to China.Are people in China saying why do you never see British bricklayers considering that they built Hadrians wall?

People delete tweetsWhy do people on SBT screenshot a Twitter post, then upload that screenshot to SBT rather than just copying and pasting the link? It’s more effort for a worse result, why??
Not often enough!!People delete tweets
And fall into bed.And why do we jump in the shower, pop down the shops, grab a taxi, hop on the bus and catch a train?
Besides, it all sounds very exhausting anyway.
That's quite a day.

Norwich has two cathedrals
