The 19th March has offiially been declared International Scouse Day. The day is primarily to raise funds for the Alder Hey Rocking Horse Appeal, but is also being used to promote the Liverpudlian Culture.
The Alder Hey Rocking Horse Appeal aims to raise £10 million to build the UKs first integrated unit for the treatment of children with cancer.
Alder Hey is the biggest and busiest children's hospital in Western Europe and is a centre of excellence in the pioneering treatment of childhood cancer. Alder Hey treats children from all over the world - last year caring for children from Bosnia, Kenya, Cayman, Poland, and Russia to name just a few.
Scousers are proud of their heritage and the traditions that come from their home city of Liverpool. The local delicacy, 'Scouse' is one of those great traditions that goes back years to the days when Liverpool was a bustling sea port.
This year we want to see as many people as possible, all over the world, eating Scouse and raising funds for the Appeal at the same time. There is always massive press interest about the event and always many celebrities taking part, such as Sir Paul McCartney, Craig Charles and Cilla Black!
All across the world restaurants and catering companies, such as Sayers, serve up Scouse as a special for the day. For every person that chooses Scouse then £1 is donated towards the appeal.
It's just been announced on the radiocity by Chris Moyes that today is "Scouse Day". They did a favorite scouser poll and it was won by Wayne flipping Rooney. :kader: Obviously asking the wrong kind of scousers. Paul McCartney wasn't even in the top ten apparently. Who would everyone have voted for? I'd have gone for God, probably. :ewan:
Happy SCOUSE day la! :ewan:
