A young scouser has been forced to take a moment to dispel the myth that all scouse lads sell drugs while giving a customer a free taster of the ketamine that he’s selling.
25-year-old Luke Billings, from the Wirral in Liverpool, claimed he’s sick to the back teeth of everyone assuming that because he’s a scouse lad he sells drugs.
“They hear the accent and straight away they think that you’ve got gear to sell,” he added. “It’s offensive and borderline racist, just because I talk with a scouse accent doesn’t mean I sell drugs.”
“I do sell drugs but you should never just assume that,” he added, while a string of customers were sold bags of ket and coke. “Just because someone’s Irish doesn’t automatically mean they’re an alcoholic….I mean, usually they are, but you shouldn’t just assume.”
“At least wait until they’ve drunk four drinks in the time it takes you to drink two and then you can know they’re alcoholics,” he added. “They do make great customers though.”
Luke claims that whether he’s at a festival or on holiday in Ibiza that people will automatically assume that he either sells or can get drugs on account of him being from Liverpool.
“I was in Ibiza last summer, minding my own business, selling a few bags on the sunset strip when this lad comes over to ask me for a light, I say sure boss and hand him a light,” he concluded. “The second he hears the accent he then goes ‘do you know where I can get any gear?’ and I’m convinced it’s not because I was standing around, obviously selling drugs but cause I have a squeaky lilt to my accent.”
