Speke depresses me on Friday evening. I'm all for regeneration and the Morissons is great - providing you don't go of a Friday evening. The supermarket is full of mouthy kids, gangs, inside and out and adults who can't even shop in a large public place properly.

Driving through Speke is the same unfortunately. I know there are plenty of lovely people who live in Speke but the gangs

Speke should be bulldozed and either:

1.The airport extended onto it

2. Built a stadium there.

Apparently in the 1950s, it was common for the "Teddy Boy" gangs from Speke to go to Garston for a punch up with the Garston Teddy Boys. Same was true for those from the Dingle who also used to come to Garston for a punch up with the Garston "Teddy Boys". Nothing's new it seems.

Yes Taffy, even in the 80's there were Speke Heads and Garston Heads. Garstonians would never venture into Speke and vice versa I assume. Graffiti would pop up on occasion, when a cheeky Speke 'ead would write '[name] from Speke was here' on a Garston building! Oh, shock horror! How very dare they!
