well if you're that bloody skint you should not be going to liverpool? stay local hire a tandem bike I think I'm perfectly entitled to a night out once in a blue moon. I'm not bar crawling, I have a ticket to an event I've been looking forward to all year and won't be going anywhere else. not exactly like I was planning on spending more than £20 on drinks anyway. I really don't have to justify to any of you why I chose to celebrate new year in Liverpool. it's great how this thread turned into what I should and shouldn't be spending my own money on

"not taxis as I'd rather stay sober and drive over than pay those prices"
thats a disgracefull comment, your more than happy to pay over the odds for entrance into clubs, overpriced drinks etc yet you have a problem paying a man working his new years eve probably to help his family just to get you home safly
i hope you have a really crap night
best wishes
Wirral taxi services
well I'm really very sorry that I can't afford to spend more money getting a taxi home than it would cost me to have booked a hotel for a night. I think the whole point of considering driving over shows that I'm not exactly rolling in spare cash. I went to the same event last year and we pre booked a taxi that picked us up from bromborough and took us over there and back again at the end of the night. it cost £80 round trip between 4 of us so worked out at £10 a head each way. fantastic price that we only got because a friend's family member worked for the firm. at no point did I show disgust at taxi drivers working to get people like me home. however, I work my a*se off full-time on minimum wage and would like to think I am entitled to see off the truly horrible year i've had by celebrating the new one with my friends in a place of my choice. I cannot afford to be paying seasonal fares, I don't even get taxis from Liverpool on a normal night as I can't justify spending so much money when I have bills to pay and don't have much spendable income. I also have to say that I've been unfortunate enough to get some nasty taxi drivers the few times I have used their services, so by the sound of it me and gemkat have already met. this year there is likely to be only two of us travelling back so there's more chance of you changing that gobsh*te attitude of yours than us being able to afford it. hope you have a terrible year Well said Badwolf thankyou Katryn! nice to know not everyone on here is so hostile

BadWolf is not bar crawling, he has a ticket to an event he,s been looking forward to all year. It's not all about drinking. I suspect the 2 posts before mine are from young guys.I've got sons who've done the "go out with £60 or more for the night - get pissed and think they've had a good night out"

I don't think that I have ever been 'out' on NYE. (perhaps once at The Leasowe Pub around 1996/7)?
Much prefer house parties with family and/or friends.

It appears as so often happens on wiki this topic has drifted from the original post of how to get back home from liverpool after going to an event on NYE.

I'm 23 and female. I love a drink as much as anyone else but there are more important things in life and unfortunately bills come first. We can't all be on the dole like some of you. I'm not going out to get wasted, I'm going out to have a good time. Obviously some of you don't realise that one can come without the other. Thanks for those of you who helped

Preferably not taxis as I'd rather stay sober and drive over than pay those prices. Think its this bit that could of been taken out of context, or just taken as it is ?

That's what I was referring to earlier in the thread, it seemed like he wanted someone to do the pick up after 12 for less than taxis would? I was simply pointing out him and his friend + driver would not be insured (unless it's family/friend) I believe. Then I defended taxis over prices as costs are extreme for them, as for people moaning about fares do so to the dept and not the drivers, they don't set the fare rate. I do hope you have a good night whatever happens.

all i can say if you can go to liverpool with £20 good on you it would be like going to Vegas with a penny and expecting your flights in with the penny
