A kindhearted Scouser has won universal praise after buying an expensive stolen bike for just £80 - before returning it to its heartbroken owner.

 

Ste Burke was approached by three men selling the bike, which it was initially believed had been stolen from the Crosby area.

 

Suspicious about the bike lock still attached to the cycle, Ste decided to buy it and then immediately start a social media hunt to track down the owner.

 

His Good Samaritan ways were applauded by thousands, including grime rapper Stormzy and TV comedy actor Ralf Little.

Can you get a work permit for that - especially as a Scouser living in Liverpool?

Can you take off the lock so I can take it for a proper test ride?

 

NO

 

Oh, OK.  I'll buy it.

So the thieves get away with it again and enhance Liverpool's already shaky reputation.

Err what about Ringo Starr and his famous quote - used to love Alan beswick winding up scousers on Red Rose Radio back in the day...and listening to Billy Butler on Radio Piccadilly or whatever it was fighting back ....

 

Asked by the presenter what he missed most about the city, Starr laughed. Ross asked him if there was anything he missed, to which the drummer replied "er, no...", though he went on to say he loved the city as it was where he grew up and where his family were.

His comments were greeted with anger from some people in Merseyside and a foliage sculpture of the drummer at Liverpool South Parkway station was beheaded by vandals three months later, with the sculptures of the three other Beatles left untouched.
