I see Wirral has found it's way on another list that makes you feel you want to hang your head down low.

Why should you feel you want to hang your head down low?
Those figures just go to show how much industry and jobs have disappeared in the last 30 years or so and not been replaced.
I can well believe it. I used to work on the Wirral all the time but I have not worked on Wirral once in at least a year and a half, and that is for various different company's. Now I have to travel all over the north west and sometimes the country to keep busy. This week I have been to Milton Keynes and Aintree and tomorrow I'm off to Manchester.
