Re: advice
I see your problem. I live not too far from Liverpool and I work with quite a lot of Scousers.
I think your only solution is to tell your mother that your brother-in-law is from Birkenhead (or Bacon'ed as the Scousers call it). It is across the Mersey from Liverpool and Scousers refer to anything in the Wirral as extremely posh. Compared to Toxteth, Birkenhead IS extremely posh. You could really lie and say that he comes from West Kirby but you may be asking for trouble as he may not have grasped the art of holding his little finger in the air when drinking a cup of tea. This is vital in West Kirby and pretenders, who didn't do it, have been known to be shot at dawn.
Alternatively, you could tell her that he is from Prescot. This is the "wrong" side of the Mersey but the "right" side of Liverpool. Under no circumstances should you say he is from Huyton - even if he is. You might wish to chance your arm and mention Formby - but it's risky unless he drives a Jaguar or a 4X4 with bull-bars.
If this man visits your mother before her demise you should ensure that he is NOT wearing a shell-suit, of whatever colour. Also, remove all jewellery from his person and make sure your mother's teeth are not visible in a glass or container. He WILL appropriate them and he WILL return, the following day, for her gums.
