There's just so many things at play it's really difficult to know what to blame.
When I ask Google Assistant "where am I?" on my phone it tells me I'm in Manchester. Nice.
When I ask the same question on my Bluetooth headphones it says Liverpool. I can't get it to work. It's been like that for a year. Can't get any support.
I have two Google home devices, one I bought when I lived in SF and another that I bought after I moved down to the suburbs.
The one I bought when in SF is still stuck thinking it's in SF, no matter where I change the settings. So, I get SF weather, SF traffic and all that depending on which Google Home happens to answer my questions.

Maybe Google's own analytics suggest that very few people in Manchester use Bluetooth gadgets, ergo you are in Liverpool.
Or (more seriously even if as unlikely perhaps) maybe you have a duplicate Bluetooth MAC address, the other one located in Liverpool. Do you have Bluetooth turned on when not using your headphones? Does the answer depend on Bluetooth being on?
I actually have two pairs of bluetooth headphones, my Sony XM3s (where this has happened for a year) and some brand new Sony Linkbuds.
Both exhibit the behaviour. Everything seems to work fine _except_ it thinks I'm elsewhere.
I don't know why the MAC address would come into play, I thought that Assistant was running on the phone via the headset. It just doesn't make sense to me that the phone immediately shows my proper location in Maps and Assistant responds correctly there, but not via Bluetooth.
Bluetooth being enabled doesn't affect the response on the phone itself, it only mis-reports the location when asking through the headsets.
Perhaps it's a permissions thing somewhere but I've looked through the settings and everything looks fine. I've searched and other people are suffering from it too. Thankfully I'm not alone, but Google's support is terrible.
