What to do in Liverpool on a Saturday afternoon?

treble lock everything then fit locks to your locks, then connect everything to the mains so you have a good 230v runnng through everthing. Oh and most of all dont stop moving.

Thank you for that, by the way, I've been to Derby.

Glass houses and all that

.....And only a few stereotypical jokes on a thread about Liverpool. Considering there's so many numpties on the forum, I expected more.

When I worked in cycling promotion, we did a week of try-out shows in London, and my unit was based in Toxteth. We took every lock we had, and tied everything down. The local kids were outraged and indignant at our assumptions that they might be light fingered, and said so, frequently, in between trying to nick anything not nailed to the floor....

On the other hand, we were scheduled to have a school group from a school for kids with special educational needs, and we thought it was going to be hell. Turned out they had been having intensive lessons in being nice to people, and they all helped each other onto bikes, invited each other to "try this one, it's great" and so on. The session just ran itself.

There were some sad kids though. They were supposed to have an adult with them, but many were just turfed out to play in order not to get in the way, the parents seemingly neither knowing or caring where they were. We virtually adopted one lad for the week, and his pride at having adults actually listen to him for once was obvious.

I'd second the Gormleys at Crosby, I went with NT a while back and they were wonderful. If you can time it so that the tide is going out or coming in, you'll see them appear from to disappear into the sea.

Thanks Archie

I'm pretty certain we'll swing by the Gormleys on the way out. If we get there towards dusk it should be fairly moody.

I'm just up the road from the iron men. Last weekend one was wearing a bra and knickers, another had an Everton kit and another had a bike and sunglasses. Every day a different outfit... There's less than there were cos the boating fraternity complained. There,s a nice 45 minute walk along a coastal path to a pub called the Hightown. Lunch for £1.99 and cheap real ale!! Hope you get a good day cos the sunsets are spectacular.
