Hi All,Last note before this ex-Pats site closes.Make sure you join the New Forum couple of hiccups if you don't get it right,but don't let those plonkers and I'm not apologising to them this time,get the better of a site that has brought a lot of Joy and Happiness plus reunions of people not only from the City of Culture 2008,but also further afield.The stories memories are very precious to all of us.Arthur,M Masi,the Darricots,Me circa 32.We have a lot more to share and listen to and to tell.My last words are from My Uncle John who has been gone a few years now is Get Your A into G and sign on the Forum and get that Scouse Breeding into gear.I'l bet there's not a Blues or Reds
supporter who gives it away.Long Live The Liver Birds.Best Regards Ken B.
ps.Great turnout of the young ones again for ANZAC Parade Arthur.

the man in the sack at the pierhead the chains and if i remember right swords in the chains what pleasure as a kid and such wonderment..how did he do it i mean he was also handcuffed before he went into the sack..and to think we used to walk there to see him from kirkdale.
It is sad to see this site go. I read it every night and love the stories. I have registered with the new site. Why couldn't this site be re-designed? They could change it so that you have to register and activate it via e-mail. I know a lot of people are not going to switch over. It is a shame as this is a little community that should not be split. It may be worth the moderators thinking about it before closing it down. To all the ones that are leaving, i shall miss your comedy and your trips dowm memory Lane. Lynn

To Netta Hennessey. I hope I've spelt your surname correctly. Keep trying with the new forum. At first I was rejected but I made it. My name is in there twice, but maybe it was because when I was rejected the first time and tried again. Good Luck. Maureen.
