It certainly is, well said lad....:handclap:



This is from last week sometime that I put on here...
I wouldn't go near the place if I never had a worldwide audience waiting
on the latest goings on photo wise around Liverpool...
Now what kind of photographer would I be eh...
if I only thought of myself and not the people that want to see them images..?


Posted on here last week sometime..
Jeeeeez.. cant get over them hypocrites.. :slywink:



"I will be going in there...
I will take a few photos when I do go in there..
Just to show on my website for people around the world to see..
they wont be for my benefit Ged.."

I'm glad you brought this up,because if my mem is correct? as a nipper....didn't they have the Anglia in the old museum? and wasn't it a blue one? alongside all manner of transport ie old fire engine,horsedrawn bus ect,ect.

Indeed they did Georgie. You can see it in the New Museum now but only the bodywork and maybe a back light. You can see the wheelie bins good though. :D

2 things - your memory is wrong ;)

Ask the museum how they know the figures - only the detractors of its success would query them surey. Better still, put your meldrew face in the cupboard and go down there to witness the crowds first hand.

I don't think sooooooooo,at least you could see the ford anglia in the old museum. :)

Eh Gerard - good get out clause that but why are you disrespecting the city by sending photos worldwide of such a shack of a place - best keep it hidden eh and you did make a point of stating - in black bold letters 'ALL' not me Ged lad not me lad blah blah blah. But in the end it was you.

I thought you didn't do arty farty -just another observation eh lad eh eh haaa haaaaar. ;)

A post here on Yo,cept the Anglia was blue not green...unless the museum has a habit of painting it? :)

QUOTE]I remember the old cobbled street where you'd press the button and hear kids doing rhymes and talking/laughing. The trains in the transport section in the basement with the dummies at the windows of the carriages, the old fire engine, John Mason removal wagon, the lion loco, the green Ford Anglia that ended up at the MoLL etc.[/QUOTE]

C,mon PM each other.

I appreciate the offer but I do too much during the day and evening to still be up at that hour normally (band pracky last night - 6 a side footy tonight) though i've done a few Mathew st/Victoria st weekend ones in the early hours - the revelers and all. Keep it up, there's never too many doing it.

Ditto.. you keep up the great work on that website of yours..
I've given up on that LRO lark..
dont know where you get the energy from for all that inside there for hours..
I'll stick to the online thingy from now on..


Best of luck Ged.. keep it going.


Gerard.

Gerard, you're fine pics and exploits during the wee hours remind of that song "Streets of London" :PDT11

Mart

It was powder blue George and the overhead railway carraige,which you could sit in, was there.

Thank you,Joseph...and I suppose the war theme will still be those that where in glass cased cabinets in the old museum, where it depicts ww1 soldier with a machine gun and mock trench ect,ect.

So this begs the question of....was the visitors numbers falling in the old museum? and the NML decided to regain its visitors by spending 72million on a new building....rather extravagant way to get the visitors back don't ya think.

I suspect the mummies will turn up in the new museum at some time?

What a waste of capital.

My memory of the Anglia is light blue also. A friend recalls it as light green. Our own colour blindness, maybe. Nothing to do with memory, George.
All the best,
Chas:PDT11

It's the same one, same Reg number and is pale green. A bloke won it in a competition, coulsdn't drive, sold it to someone who drove around in it for 5 years or so and then it was bought back for exhibition purposes. It's mad that it's so high and out of reach. The massive space at the bottom of the sweeping staircase would have been ideal for it. With over 6000 objects on show, it's not a case of rehashing all the old stuff though because most of it isn't. I don't know if it was because I was just a kid at the time but I prefered the old cobbled street - just as in the world museum I prefered the old corridor aquarium. Still, mustn't grumble eh?

Very light green it is as I remember :noid:

Correct Mart... in the old museum, and today.
Like a light mint green.

Is this Green Or Blue?

Attachment 22415

Blue, the one in the museum is much lighter and green

Adobe photoshop colour picker depicts it in the blue range of the colour spectrum

I don't remeber it being green when I seen it as a nipper.

This the colour Mart?

Attachment 22416

Try the one from the Museum George and let us know what colour it picks up for it

Tenner says Green :PDT_Xtremez_42:

Bordering into white actually but it is in the green spectrum. :)

Attachment 22419

What Colour does this one show up as George ?

EDIT:
Oops just spotted you posted it up already

Click the 'view original' thingy below..

Bordering more into yellow white more than green,Mart.

I took this pick from the brightest part of the car ie the bonnet,rather than the sides as any colour from its surroundings will alter the balance of the colour

Yellow white now ?...thats it, I'm off..

Heres a photo i took of the Ford at the Old Museum of Liverpool Life a good 5 or 6 years ago, or thereabouts. Definitely a pale green to me.

I agree though, **** stupid place to put it. Not a lot of point it being there really :(

Lime Green...
