This is probably me just being touchy but, arguably, the thing about writing a caption for a pic that is more than a sentence long is that it should capture something extra. Stating that some of the houses have been demolished can create (in a Liverpool context anyway) a false impression - a sense of dereliction that couldn't be further from the truth. Whilst it is true that there are still some flats to be had for peppercorn rents, most of these houses contain the most expensive 'apartments' on the market outside city centre penthouses. These houses are HUGE. I can't think of anywhere else in the country where there is such a concentration of such huge monsters.
This is what Wallasey said:
"Most of these properties have either been converted into flats or even demolished."
I find nothing wrong with that.
"or even demolished" is only saying that demolition has occurred, in no way did he imply dereliction.
Frankly, Jericho, I don't understand why you are being so critical.
If only more people would say a little more about the photos they post.
