Liverpool memories

Did you know that Wednesday used to be known as Welsh Day in Liverpool as trains and coaches were packed with people avoiding half day closing in Wales

 

Swansea & Cardiff were both bombed. I think very few places that had docks or industry got off scot free.

 

I used to go to Rudston Road and we didn't have such rules!!

 

I have heard of Welsh day.I have actually heard of Liverpool being described as the capital of North Wales

 

Where the **** is Mansfield anyway ?

 

Just told you, centre of the universe

Thought you said you were going elsewhere?

 

Is that the universe in you pea sized brain ?

 

Had to answer the old gooner before he thought he was going senile. Same applies here

 

Piss off,I'm not ****ing old

 

Don't you have grandkids the same age as my kids?

**** hole

 

Lol

You ****ing tell them Dave!

 

Harsh

 

Yet another interesting fact: Broadgreen Station is the oldest in-use railway station in the world!

 

Roby Station(next up the track)looks well older than Broadgreen.

 

The buildings are older but Broagreen was open first. That's interesting because I would have though Edge Hill or Lime Street would have been opened first.

 

It was the most heavily bombed city outside of London. Terrible destruction in the whole city, buildings and homes left as rubble, thousands made homeless. Horrible memory as you say.

 

Thursday was Welsh day dave, the shops in Wales had half day closing on Thursday and Wednesday was half day closing in Liverpool.
