There was one time when I think Steers house would have been the 'in building' to see from this view. Dark days indeed and oh how we've moved on.
There is 1 question I love answered when I worked for St helen's buses we used to have a drop back for an hour and alway's went to mann island for a cuppa and a bacon butty BUT WHERE & WHO named it MANN ISLAND?:unibrow:
MANN ISLAND 3
Originally Mersey Island. It was an artificial island between George's Dock and Canning Dock on three sides and the Mersey on the west. It lost its water on the north and east sides with the conversion of George's Dock into the building site for the Pier Head buildings. It gets its name from John Mann, an oil-stone dealer, who died there in 1784.
The area was also known as Nova Scotia and featured on a time team archiology dig a few years ago.
It was named after John Mann sometime in the 17century? Its original name was Mersey Island and has now ceased to be an Island due to the Georges dock being filled in.

Some real good lads on the buses,but I sometimes wonder how when some of them got made up to "checkers" or dragulars as you called them, they seemed to change from mates into jobsworths? Good ol' days they were, I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the back......except for the time I was attacked by a gang of half drunk louts outside Widnes Town Hall,bus stop in Victoria Square, off work for a week after that.Quote:

I was reading an article in which the drug/medication Risperidone, was mentioned as an effective treatment for mental and nervous disorders. After reading up a bit on it and the different types of people who receive benefit from having it prescribed,and whereby it helped changed their outlook on life , it set me thinking.................so why then isn't it given to miserable old f*rts? Should an e-petition be started ?
Ha ha - that's even funnier then.Quote:

HDR not my cup of tea - ANY of it - Topaz or not. However, I do like the subject matter. :PDT_Piratz_26:
I always thought Topaz was a hair care product. Not that we'd be much interested in that anymore ;)
