I learned along time ago that TV is an over hyped scam, I have not owned or watched TV for several years now.

Ah, shame you were not in Liverpool last week, to see the Minton tile floor at St George's Hall. http://liverpoolcityhalls.co.uk/st-georges-hall/whats-on/archive/minton-tile-floor-reveal/

I'm continually amazed by what people shout into their phones on trains, or spread around for anyone to read, without a care for privacy. I was once sitting opposite a barrister on his way to an out-of-London court, and by the time we had reached Milton Keynes I knew quite a lot about the prosecution's case!

Hope you went to see that Merseyside football shrine - Prenton Park - while you were in Birkenhead.

Great observation DG, your blog is always worth reading.
Tim should have casually mentioned that he happened to be a witness in that case.
That would have deflated the bugger.

Just shows how many people live in a 'bubble' cf @Tim. Just finished reading a book where the author admits to getting himself arrested because he was transcribing murder accounts from interviews with imprisoned psychopaths whilst on a flight. Stupid or what!

And how unprofessional using Wiki as a source. Never do that when someone dies as there are trolls about who will insert untruths and see which news organisations pick them up.
Many of the nationals and TV stations have been fooled this way....

'alas I missed everything Cilla-related on the TV yesterday because I was in the city where it was happening'
It is a fact of life nowadays that the person/event who is the subject of the news, often has little idea of what has actually happened, I only fully realized this back at 9/11 when everyone knew that planes had crashed into the towers - apart from the people in the towers.

I can never understand the mentality of people who buy expensive floral tributes and then can't even be bothered to remove the wrapper.
Instead of being resplendent in all their glory, the flowers end up looking like 'open' fish and chips, wrapped in newsprint and awaiting the bin men.

@ Nick
My TV packed up towards the end of the last century when the licence fee was £NinetySomething, and I never replaced it.
Until a few weeks ago.
In a Moment of Madness I bought a monster 42" TeleScreen, swung the big old Amstrad dish around to 28.2°E and updated the LNB.
BIG mistake: it's like scavenging through a mountain of rubbish...
Hundreds of worthless, mind-numbing channels ranging from the 24-hour news stations all following the same uber-PC agenda (bimbos preferred, white men rather less so) to teleshopping ones where the adverts are uninterrpted by all those irritating programmes, ending up with all the crazy preachers and the unencrypted porn channels where almost anything goes, even when the schoolkids arrive back home.

I loathe people like the greedy tall blonde who grabbed more than her fair share of the table space. What I always do is make it obvious that I can read their stuff and if that doesn't work, gently push my stuff into theirs and if they object then make a cutting remark. Selfish sods like these people are the bane of life today: in their own little bubble thinking only of #1.

Congrats at the top mention in Londonist today

Cheers. It's earned me 90 new Twitter followers. I fear they'll be disappointed.

In view of your comments about the other locations on Mathew Street I should point out that the Cavern Club is not the original, which was demolished in the 1970s.
