` :::: Looks like, you're right. The article states that ``the accent is known to be as far reaching as Flintshire in Wales, Runcorn in Cheshire and Skelmersdale in Lancashire``, and this sentence has lots of sources. But then there's this: ``Scouse (...) is an accent and dialect of English found primarily in the Metropolitan county of Merseyside, and closely associated with the city of Liverpool.`` So, most probably, this name comes from the fact that Scouse is spoken primarily in the county of Merseyside. It's an unsourced statement, but would you agree? Personally, I don't know. I'd rather study phonologies of accents than their exact reach.   `
