    John Gallagher, that name rings a bell, how old would he have been?

    Egerton's used to be managed by a short stocky fella named Tommy O'Keefe who was married to one of the Bennets.

    He was as hard as nails, I have lost count of the times there would be a a group of lads who didn't know him and would take the pi$$, put it this way, anywhere Sadie worked they didn't need no bouncers.
    He was also a real nice fella. Qu-eer but nice.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    Thumbs up Clayton Square

    Hi All,
    My navigation may be a wee bit out,was Blacklers further up the road.Then right opposite Blacklers was a Big Butchers Shop.Was it called W.H.Brabins.Ifit was thats where my Dad worked before the war and I think he got the job about 1936.My Mum cried I can remember because he had managed to get a job.A year or two later he came home with this quite big photo of the Brabins staff all in front of the shop.Don't know what happened to the one we had.Hope some one might recall it it was in sepia.Hope my navigation is right.Great site Love it.Best Regards Ken B

    Jimmy was mixed race - second name was Robinson I think.
    When dressed as Shirley Bassey he was stunning.

    Remember seeing him in a T-shirt emblazoned "Rough Tough Creampuff", with a rather naughty picture.
