There have been quite a lot of emergency vehicles screaming in between Birkenhead and Wallasey this afternoon. Could hear them but not see them from where I was.

They've been forming up the teams at Wallasey and sending them over to liverpool, probably going through the tunnel.

The 6 riot vans have just come screaming through the Wallasey tunnel. There is now something going on at Gorsey Lane but think it might be unrelated to the vans maybe just an accident but they have blocked the road off.

There is an ambulance attending a house on Oxton Road (L), the vans turned right and headed straight down Poulton Road, I passed Gorsey Lane lights on foot and nothing too suspect appears to be gonig on.

Sayers Birkenhead has ran out of sausge rolls so they all "screamed" over to Sayers Liscard as they had put too many in the oven on the early shift. Word got out to the other police stations across the wirral.

Is there a "live" Liverpool site anything like Wiki - where you could see comments/ info about what may or may not be going on in the city?

I ask because someone has suggested going to a club up by the Catholic cathedral tonight

I'm not keen
