We used to have a reasonably good planning portal, then the Government appear to have tried to make a national one, then the Council came up with this one. Although it has improved slightly over the last year or so, it is still pretty much unusable.

A while ago I was checking out one in Chestnut Grove, I knew it was on the system but the search point blank refused to find it under Chestnut Grove. Once found it was addressed as Chestnut Grove so I have no idea why the search failed, another hour of my life wasted.

Some of the larger projects have masses of documents which are untitled without preview and you have to download them all one-by-one to view them.

Loads of historic records that were digital in the past have now been replaced with a small summary.

That's the trouble with having one company as the contractor for all IT, everything is a compromise and little common sense, the contract is signed and you get what you are given.

What will replace the old quick-save building and crumbling row of shops now being demolished in New Ferry?

Are there any published plans lof what they will look like?

Thanks for that Derek.

I was well-acquainted with Scouse plural Yous though discouraged on the west side of the then-based Wirral part of Cheshire.

But the Neston-derived Yuse was most certainly used in the singular form.

That fact is established. What I was after was how Heswall got the monica "Yowler" and why. But as been said already; just a derogative term.

I was a pupil at Galtres School from 1949 to 1956, when I went on to Birkenhead School. We did indeed wear purple caps and blazers, with a grey owl as badge. The building was a rambling Victorian house which was rather depressing, but the outside play area was wonderful: a small wood, a playing field at the bottom of a deep slope, and the foundations of a demolished building, which acted as an outdoor stage for school entertainments. I received a good education, and most of the teachers were pleasant. I particularly liked Mrs Patterson and a young temporary teacher, Mrs Ditchfield. I was, however, terrified of Mrs Benson, the headmistress, who could frequently be seen walking around with a cane under her arm, which she would frequently use. I and two friends were caned for playing at snowballs after school. I used to dread school: my grandchildren are far happier in their schooling.

For a while in my twenties, I went out with the daughter of one of my Galtres teachers. She had the bright idea of arranging a reunion with Mrs Benson. Within thirty seconds of the commencement of our meeting, Mrs Benson had started to tell me off.

I wonder what happened to them all. Is Mrs Ditchfield still alive?

Been up for nearly two months. Is nobody moderating the forum anymore?

The old Littlewoods building overlooking Wavertree park by Edge lane has recently had the clock tower demolished. Although it is a listed building, that doesn't stop it being one of the ugliest buildings in the city and I would be delighted if the whole place was razed to the ground, but it appears the clock tower will be rebuilt and the whole mausoleum will once again dominate the Park and the Botanic gardens it overlooks.

It seems the whole place will be turned into a massive Film Studio. To this I have no objection, but why does it have to be restored to its former ill-proportioned ugly form?

I suspect the only reason the place got listed was because of Littlewoods having been a major employer in Liverpool and the family remained powerful, but it has no merit as far as I can see. Moreover building a replica, which is what's planned, is hardly preservation. It is utterly pointless, and the city has been denied the possibility of a new building that fits the Landscape better doesn't look like a memorial building for a deposed and hated Dictator

Thank you Bert

The Z Battery (rocket projector battery) downhill from the WT station would have had a gun laying radar, whether this would have been near the rocket battery or tagged onto the wireless telegraphy station I have no idea but I'd suspect not as one was army and one was navy and it was a bit further than the usual distance from the battery.

Although rockets sound more modern and effective than guns, it was the other way around, once the radars improved the AA guns made the rocket batteries redundant. Both were very scary for aircrews.

Anyone got drawer(s) from an Eastham kitchen circa 1984?

Seems a better use than more bloody blocks of flats.

We'll have to see if the money is forthcoming to support this splendid vision.
