Liverpool ONE sucks...

We're definitely never going to the Liverpool ONE shopping center again! For starters, we didn't realize it was an outdoor shopping center and the whole reason we decided not to take a day trip to someplace like Chester was because the weather was forecast for rain today. I know what you're thinking: "Rain? In England?" Who would have thought, right? Well, it did rain and it was below 50 degrees! And I stupidly didn't wear my coat because I thought it was indoors and it's always warm inside malls. I was freezing the whole time.

On top of that, the shops were all the same as you'd find at the Trafford Centre (the big indoor shopping mall in Manchester) but not as many - the Trafford Centre is much bigger and more elaborately designed and decorated. If Liverpool ONE is really what they are calling "Liverpool's answer to Manchester's Trafford Centre" they have failed, big time.

I think Steve secretly enjoys going to Liverpool though - only because he gets to take punches at the scousers every chance he gets, lol. As we were leaving, he said "Once again, Liverpool never fails to disappoint!"

But we did eat at a restaurant themed as an American diner, which Steve loves. I got a new bikini for Jamaica which was only £16 ($24) and Steve picked up a book and a Derren Brown DVD at HMV. So it wasn't a total failure - but then again, we could have saved the 40 minute drive and walking in the cold rain and gotten the same stuff at the Trafford Centre! Hence why we won't be going back to Liverpool ONE.
