Was just about to say exactly that about myself .
When did you leave?
Where did you live?
My Bro has just moved back there after living in north wales for MANY years.

I was born in Clatterbridge but grew up in Ellesmere Port with its palm trees and sophisticated locals.
I will be leaving work quite soon for another helping. I'll close my eyes in Neston for the next 2 nights.

Ahhh Neston. We love it around there. I sometimes take the bike over and cycle that area. Often thought of moving back.

Oh it's rained. I might go and see if it's sagged.

It'll be Papier Mache by now.

You scousers are almost as bad as the Yorkshire lot

 

[Crackle]

Worse...

I'm sorry to report it's collapsed. No pictures to save the gawking. Not sure what did for it, it's fairly breezy here. Shame, loads have come to see it.

Shame we have 6 weeks of drought they put that up & it rains

That's nice

Castleford, not too far from me, had two Shipping Containers & Milk-Crates...…
October 2006

Looks almost like a giant airfilter

There was a staircase inside one of the Containers, so you could go up & peer through the crates
I did, purely out of curiosity, & went away nonethewiser

Ok just for you ghouls

That wasn't a collapse. That was more of a "slump". Rather like how I sit down on the sofa these days

Reminds me of the old joke:

Man walks into a police station in Croxteth

"I want to report a crime. I was just mugged behind the library"

Desk Sergeant reacts with incredularity:

"We've got a LIBRARY?"

Yeah, they kept that quiet, didn't they...

Judging by May, I imagine you are dragged forwards first, then as gravity shifts, test the cushioning............

All gone. The weather wasn't kind in the end. Lots of people takings bits as souvenirs and a couple of Vikings walking off with the dragon heads. Pretty successful overall I reckon.
