Lindylou, the labour party were voted into power by the people of Liverpool, have a look at the video submitted by Howie.

Liverpool Gateway
Ocean Gateway

Liverpool Ocean Gateway then - a ring to it like Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

Something telling the world, not just Manchester/Brum/Leeds who all think they're bigger and better than us that it's Liverpool's and you've gotta mention the name - it's extravagant - something those land-locked places could only dream about.

Liverpool George Harrison Ocean Gateway

I don't have enough interest in Politics to be bothered looking.

I was just stating that I never knew anyone who supported them.

I can only recall people slating Hatton and his crew.

A very disingenuous reply for sure. If you have, as you state, little interest in politics why comment at all? Replying, as you have to a political post, takes far more effort to type and post than does a mouse click on the link that would add to your knowledge of the person and period discussed. Like I said lindylou, a very disingenuous reply, IMHO.

I never normally reply to political discussions - you won't find much from me in the politics thread.

I was just commenting that they were not popular with everybody, not every Liverpudlian voted for them - I can remember a lot of people who were against.

That is why your reply to this one reveals more than you would probably wish about you own political bias.:) But thanks for posting anyway.

Cheers lindy.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Yep true though the name does say it all

Cheers Fred (NSTS Gravesend 1956).

While they're (supposed to be) doing big works at Lime Street Station, why not rename that Liverpool Paul McCartney Station?

Now we just need something for Ringo :unibrow:

Surely it should be Liverpool Ringo (Thomas the Tank Engine) Starr Station?

And find something for Paul (maybe a new wife) :rolleyes:

Funny old world - everybody was at the first Sex Pistols gig yet there were only a few dozen there, nobody was on the streets supporting the 47 yet tens of thousands were there. (The power of the media to glorify or demonize our past eh!) :unibrow:

The landing stage sunk so many times maybe it should be named to commerate the Thetis.....How many times did the oriiginal, worlds longest landing stage sink in its 100 year history prior to cutting it up in 1973???

:)
I still like Liverpool Ocean Gateway

Hehe... has anyone put a bet on Heather's leg flying off while she's dancing? :unibrow: :unibrow: :unibrow:

Does that show air in the uk?
She has done amazingly well so far. :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Only in the bookies apparently, you often see blokes walking out shaking their heads whilst ripping betting slips up.

If you want to see Heather's leg fly off;

I heard they'll start in May. I'll pop into Canada Dock on Tuesday and see how work is progressing. Thanks to Marky for telling me in February what this was all about in my pic. I hadn't a clue at the time.
Here's a DP link from 22/03 about the cruise liner landing stage.

How it once looked........

(Liverpool Records Office)

And they revealed the multi-million pound facility would bear a simple and straightforward name – the City of Liverpool Cruise Terminal.

I never thought of that one,think big Liverpool!:handclap: :disgust:

Would have liked it to be 'the Port & City of Liverpool etc'., but hey, I can live with the chosen name.:handclap:
