There was widespread panic in Liverpool last night when a printing error in the Echo revealed that all adults would be offered a Job by the end of July.

That joke might need updating.

For the three months ending December 2020, the highest unemployment rate estimate in the UK was in London (7.0%) ... - ONS

But this is 'Laughing Lemons', not University Challenge (though with decades of dumbing down...etc? Who knows?), and the joke is about Liverpool. I lived near Penny Lane for about 6 months in 1984 (not long after the famous riots) and am still having therapy! The city these days is completely different and a pleasure to visit.

PS What do you call a Scouser in a suit? The Defendant.
A man wanders round a pub in Liverpool and whispers in a guy's ear if he wants a blowjob.
The guy turns, beats the sh*t out of him and throws him out of the pub.
The landlord comes over and asks what that was all about.
The man looks confused. "Dunno, but sumfink about a job!"

Why?

Is it not that nice Mr Hancock's plan to offer everyone in England who wants it, a j*b by the end of July 2021?
