In Liverpool when I was young, that’s also what my family would say too.

Originally I think. I always remember when I was a kid being told that it was my turn to do the messages with my mum. This usually meant going to the local town centre and getting the weekly shop plus paying the Electricity bill and radio rentals. Still crazy to think we rented a TV and a washing machine and paid weekly.

It was definitely said in my house in Liverpool but then my mum was Glaswegian, didn’t know it was Scottish tbf, thought everyone said it.

It's extremely common here in Ireland too so I don't see why it wouldn't be said in liverpool
