But I didn't live in Allerton. By 1953 I was living in a corpy house in Childwall Valley (there's posh for you!)
At one time it seemed that every girl I pulled in a club lived either in Birkenhead, Wallesy or bloody Chester!!!
I used to work for the civil service at the pier head, nearly everyone in the place was from over the water. One day this lovely lady I worked with who was from Liverpool said 'I don't think it's right them coming over and taking all our jobs' - as if the wirralites were immigrants
I took my lad on a tour of Liverpool and all of the places where I had livid (well those that were still standing!). We parked opposite the house in Childwall (no longer Corpy) and when I got out of the car to take a piccy they were about to set the dogs on me!!!
Things have changed around the area although not as bad as that, it's still quite posh! But I did read recently that as soon as an Iceland opens, you know the area's 'not what it used to be' [or words to that effect].
Didn't know there was a Lidl in Prescot Eh you been in the L7 Village Supermarket on Prescot Rd? It's great, top supermarket and the fact that it's called "village" supermarket has put our house price up by 50% Posh round here now....Kenny village
I couldn't take the constant optimism of a few weeks ago....I'm much happier now everyone's all depressed again
