In the UK TV sit com "Till Death Us Do Part" Alf Garnett, played by Warren Mitchell, called his son in law, played by Tony Booth, a "Scouse Git" Scouse is the collective name for anyone from Liverpool (as Geordie is anyone from Newcastle). I do beleve that "scouse" is also a type of stew made in Liverpool. Tony Booth is the father in law of Tony Blair our prime minister. I wonder if he calls his son in law a git, if he does he will not be alone.
