This dormitory town seven miles outside Liverpool is a
mean-spirited, characterless and deluded suburb, that fancies itself as a cut above the rest of Merseyside. Queueing up outside B&Q on a Sunday morning is the closest it gets to culture.

Contains Ashworth, that institution full of psychos that’s always in the news. Every Monday, they test the sirens, they wail mournfully at the start of another week in Maghull.
