Inspiration for the Scousers
Is it right to say that Brookside was the inspiration for the Scousers? In a video of his (Harry Enfield Undressed), an audience member asks whether Brookside was the inspiration for the Scousers. He replies that they were based on...people from Liverpool.

Merseyside or Liverpool
Likewise, is it right to class these characters as 'Merseysiders'?
Scousers are from Liverpool. Liverpool is only a part of Merseyside and the scouse accent isn't spoken throughout Merseyside.
As per the previous post ... 'they were based on...people from Liverpool.'
