There is no denying if you're from Liverpool there are certain traits, sayings and mannerisms which are completely unique.
It's all part of the reason why us Scousers like to think of ourselves as different from those in other cities.
From always telling the bar staff to take their own to calling the youngest member of the family 'the baby' even if they are now 15-years-old.

Often, these habits have come from our friends and family, so we don't bat an eyelid at them, however anyone new to the city can often be left confused.
Below, we've rounded up 15 things that are only deemed acceptable because they are done by people from Liverpool. The list is by no means exhaustive and we would love to hear your thoughts on anything that should be included. Let us know in the comments below.
Renaming clubs
Has anyone ever called 'The Raz', 'The Blue Angel'? We don't think so.
And don't forget the now-closed 'Kray'.
Drinking well before 8am during the Grand National Festival
The construct of time just isn't a thing for three days every year in Merseyside.
Expect champagne breakfasts and pints in the pub from early in the day.
Meeting Liverpool icons in random places
It's no big deal seeing Jeremy Corbyn in Bongo's Bingo or Roberto Firmino in Mansion.
Even in 2005, after the Reds' victory in the Champions League final, during a performance of One Night in Istanbul at the Liverpool Empire, Rafa Benitez made an appearance in the play.

The Spaniard's special appearance ended with a celebratory conga line at the end of the show.
Fuming that Brookside still isn't on Netflix
Despite numerous petitions, Netflix still hasn't picked up Brookside.
The Brookside series ran for more than two decades, from 1982 to 2003, and became known for its ground-breaking, hard-hitting storylines.
The soap was the first to be filmed in real, brand-new houses in a cul-de-sac situated off Deysbrook Lane.
Buying drinks in rounds
We're a generous bunch in this part of the world, which is why we only buy our drinks in rounds.
This means everyone chips in and you don't have to interrupt your night by repeated trips to the bar.
It's become such a tradition, that it's considered ill-mannered to buy yourself a drink and not anyone else.
Home & Bargain not Home Bargains
The Liverpool-born bargain retail giant obviously has 'Home Bargains' emblazoned on every shop front, carrier bag and item of staff uniform.
But if you ask anyone from Liverpool what it's called, chances are they'll tell you it's 'Home and Bargain'.
The reason for the confusion is perhaps because the shop, founded by Tom Morris in Old Swan, changed its name from Home and Bargain to Home Bargains in 1995.
'The Asda' not just 'Asda'
Unlike Home and Bargain, there's no real reason for this one.
We just happen to add 'the' to the name.
Making a big deal out of wheelie bins
If you move to Merseyside, the chances are a local will ask you what colour wheelie bin you've got.
In Liverpool, it's an entirely legitimate system to help establish whether or not someone is a wool - a stealthy form of social signalling that we all buy into.
Cringing at someone with a fake Scouse accent on TV
Nothing makes us cringe quite like hearing an attempt at the Scouse accent on television, or worse when someone tries to over-play the accent too much.
Arguing over Greggs and Sayers
While nearly every Northerner will tell you how much they enjoy a Greggs steak bake, there's a rival to well-loved bakery chain in Liverpool.
Sayers, who do a cracking sausage roll, is a North West institution with its roots in Liverpool.
The story began 103 years ago in an Old Swan basement kitchen where Fred and Lylian Sayer opened their first bakery on Prescot Road in 1912.
Giving someone a nickname after meeting them once
With our friendly personalities, it's unlikely we'll ever call you by your full name.
Jessica instantly becomes Jess, Sophie is Soph and Rebecca is Becs.
Refusing to say 'ice lolly'
As the temperature soars on Merseyside, many will be digging around in the freezer or popping to the shops for a frozen treat.
But despite being advertised as an 'ice lolly', ask someone in Liverpool and they will swear on the lives that it is categorically a lolly ice.
Knowing everything about everyone
As well as being generous, we're also very honest people.
This helps, given that everyone knows everything in this city about everyone.
There's no such thing as a secret here.
Wearing full hiking gear on a blazing hot day
It could be a 30C heatwave and there would still be teenagers walking around in North Face waterproofs and Under Armour.
On the flip side, wearing shorts in January
There could be a snowstorm in Liverpool and you'll still see a lad wearing shorts.
With a flagrant disregard for seasons, temperature or basic decency, they do not care.
