Let's hope we never get back to bottles getting lobbed on London Road. We'd see the lodge going along Netherfield Road from our classroom windows on Prince Edwin Street. Drunkeness down by Exchange Station after getting back from Southport. I remember one person missing that big pole they'd throw up in the air. As far as I was concerned, it was just a band, I loved the scotchies, didn't know the significance, probably the best way. My mam would say' You stay away from that Tugboat tonight' - I never did, she thought there'd be trouble but it was our patch where our gang drank so we were ok.

Still took my kids to watch them if we chanced upon them while up at Everton Park - just a band to them too. Mind you, did curse them once when stuck in traffic on Moss Street for about half an hour.
