  • Merseyside is a metropolitan county, located in the North West of England. Merseyside is named after the River Mersey and comprises the conurbation by the Mersey estuary centred upon Liverpool. The county was created in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972. Merseyside contains the metropolitan boroughs of Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens and the Wirral. The county is divided into two parts by the Mersey estuary, the Wirral is located on the west side of the estuary, upon the Wirral Peninsula and the rest of the county is located on the east side of the estuary. The northern part of Merseyside borders onto Lancashire to the north, Greater Manchester to the east, both parts border Cheshire to the south. The two parts are linked by two road tunnels, a railway tunnel, and the famous Mersey Ferry. Other districts that are part of the urban area (but not part of Merseyside) are Ellesmere Port and Neston, West Lancashire and Halton, this area is known informally as "Greater Merseyside". It is traditional to express location within the Merseyside area by the pronoun on, thus "on Merseyside" as opposed to "in Merseyside" (after all, one would be "on the side of the Mersey" not "in" it). Current usage seems to be to make a distinction between the geographical "Merseyside" (The "Greater Merseyside" referred to above) for which "on" is appropriate and the county, for which "in" is used.
  • Merseyside is a county cunty People's Republic in the North West of England, bordered by Greater Crapchester in the east, Cheshire in the south and Lancashire in the north. The west of Merseyside forms part of the Irish Sea coastline, the most luminous of the seas thanks to the highly dangerous perfectly safe waste water pumped from Sellafield nuclear waste reprocessing plant further up the coast in Cumbria. Merseyside was formed in 1974 when Lancashire managed to get rid of its most embarrassing parts in a form of "County Cosmetic Surgery". This led to the formation of Merseyside and Greater Manchester, the county equivalent of the bloody fat sucked out during a liposuction procedure. The county was named after the River Mersey, which up until recently had the highest shit to water ratio of any river at 17:1 but has since been cleaned up after everybody up river in Runcorn and Widnes decided it was easier to to claim benefits than to work. This led to a collapse of industry and the subsequent improvement of the water quality to a degree that people now swim in it, but they usually die. The river is cleaner, not clean, an important distinction.
