2) Why do so many older male Brits wear large medal adornments at ceremonies?
The man in the photo with Klopp is wearing a big gold necklace, like he's in Run DMC. He's the lord mayor of the city. A lord mayor or mayoress always has a bit gold necklace and sometimes wear a traditional robe. It's a ceremonial post in Britain, dating back hundreds of years. I think every city has a lord Mayor, it's usually a local dignatory who does the job for 1 year. It's different from an elected mayor that has political power. The lord mayor will have given Klopp the freedom of the city in a dull, traditional ceremony.
Pyjamas is referring to war veterans who wear medals on their chest. All countries have them, common fighting service personnel get a few, generals always appear to have loads.
And most non scousers will not abandon Klopp either, maybe a few idiots and internet trolls will.
