    and the overhead was still standing - not running but still standing. And all the buses were green Corpy and Crosville (forgot the Ribble ones!)

    In the 50s I could name all of the shipping lines operating out of Liverpool and identify their funnels - how good was that!

    The overhead had been demolished before i was on the scene but i remember the Crosville's(they were different models to the corpy buses)and the red Ribble buses.

    Imagine if they had the foresight back then to keep the dockers umbrella and the money they'd have made from tourists using it.

    <doh>

    most anoraks are train or plane spotters dave but you were cool enough to break the mould and start the funnel spotting trend!
