How proud those two men must be for verbally threatening a young woman.
They are paid to do a job but are so hateful with prejudice that they refuse to provide that service. Segregation is alive and well in Manchester.

I don't get "Manc". Shouldn't it be "Manch" and rhyme with Blanche? But "Scouser"? That makes no sense at all.
Anyway, I found this guide to understanding Scouser's.

Have you never had a pan of scouse, then, Dave? Lucky thing.
In the 18th and 19th centuries Liverpool, being a major seaport, found itself inundated with foreign seamen, especially Norwegians, looking for a berth on any ship. There is still a Scandinavian Seamen's Church in Liverpool built in the 19th century. Scandinavian seamen's churches proliferated in many British ports in the late 19th century and it is therefore probable that these incomers brought their recipes to Liverpool.
A "pan of scouse" became a common meal in working class Liverpool. A thickened stew, usually of mutton or lamb with vegetables slow cooked to tenderise cheap cuts of meat, it takes its name from the Norwegian for stew, "lapskaus". The shortened and anglicised version of this Norwegian word is "scouse" and is part of a genre of slang terms which refer to people by stereotypes of their dietary habits, i.e. Pom, Limey, Rosbif (Australian, American and French slang respectively for the English), and Kraut (an English colloquial ethnonym for a German).
The traditional recipe for Liverpool Scouse consists of a cheap cut of lamb, or in earlier days, mutton (such as breast, forequarter or "scrag end of neck"), removed from the bone and browned in a large saucepan, to which are added chopped onions, carrots, and water or meat stock, to which are added as many potatoes as possible. The sauce is not thickened, and it is usual to serve with preserved beetroot or red cabbage and white bread with butter. An even more impoverished variety of this dish is 'blind Scouse', which features no meat. Either recipe should more rightly be considered a potato stew.
When I was little I had blind scouse every Sunday with beetroot (if lucky) with bread and butter (well margarine)

Pom..... what is that about then (food related) with the Aussies?
I thought Pom was Prisoner of Motherland.

pommy originated as a contraction of "pomegranate" turning their fair skin the colour of pomegranates

Dave the Dog, click on the link for a potted history or Scouse / Scouser.
It doesn't mention that a traditional Liverpool meal of older times was 'Scouse' (a pan of Scouse) which is a cabbaged base dish with other veg in there (usually the day before's left overs with cabbage!)
As brel said, it is linked in with the dialect.
The Scouse accent is my favourite accent of all in the UK (after Manc, of course) No warra mean like lar?

I enjoyed reading them, I like the 'speccy twat' one. I'm southern but whenever I say speccy twat I sound like a northerner. I don't think a southerner can say speccy twat or just twat without sounding northern. Twat must be a nothern word.
