If Tranmere go down maybe next season I’ll take the ferry.<br /><br />So did you have to perform before the assembled throng?nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926379735288757900.post-55936141891653908082020-02-24T18:18:49.577+00:002020-02-24T18:18:49.577+00:00I hope the young man in the dustbin wasn't jus...I hope the young man in the dustbin wasn't just accidentally recycled? People in Liverpool spend a lot of time in bins, as London football fans like to remind us.<br /><br />One of my favourite Liverpool buildings is the old red-and-white striped White Star shipping offices in James Street. You must have been very near that. As a tourist, I hope you went on the ferry boat? - it's a bit of a cliché, but one of the world's finest. Last time I was in Liverpool, I admitted to our guide at the Anglican Cathedral that I was in the choir there in 1959 - you know those moments when you wish you'd just kept quiet?

Back in the early 80s there’s no way you’d have predicted what a tourist destination it would become (judging purely by the meeja portrayal).nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926379735288757900.post-15567854380441277912020-02-23T16:58:50.454+00:002020-02-23T16:58:50.454+00:00Worth a trip, I did some work there in 2003, it wa...Worth a trip, I did some work there in 2003, it was a lot nicer than when I did my student placement there in the mid 1980s, I had a suite at the Adelphi because nobody wanted to go there then and I remember doing an all nighter and hearing the drone of the DC3 isle of Mann mail plane, different times!<br />Best Iain caveadsum1471https://www.blogger.com/profile/02174163740406928172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926379735288757900.post-64158428591196352942020-02-23T11:43:20.940+00:002020-02-23T11:43:20.940+00:00I would recommend it Steve, especially as you'...I would recommend it Steve, especially as you're a maritime sort. Stacks of history as you can imagine. I would go to the maritime museum and the Liverpool museum next time I go. If you like modern art there's the Tate and Crosby beach is worth a trip (not just for the Gormley sculptures - views can be great on a clear day).nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926379735288757900.post-23532150938639450612020-02-23T11:32:14.509+00:002020-02-23T11:32:14.509+00:00Yes.
