johnh Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Can't remember if I've posted this before, apologies if I have. The posts about the new ground at the docks reminded me. In 1983 I had to visit Mersey Docks & Harbour Board offices at the Pier Head. We had a meeting in the very impressive boardroom. There were four senior MDHB people and four from my company. The meeting was to discuss our purchase of all the lift trucks, cranes and other similar equipment and leasing the same back to MDHB. It was a multi-million pound deal. A couple of our guys were engineers and expressed a requirement to look at the equipment. There was a dock strike on at the time, which was all over the national press. During the meeting I made the point that not being able to view the equipment would be a delaying factor. One of the MDHB guys said 'why should there be a delay'. I said 'the dock strike, wont there be pickets on the dock gates?' The MDHB guys all started laughing. 'There are no pickets', one of them said, 'they're not needed, its one out all out.' So we walked down to the dock area, through the gates and looked at all the equipment we needed to look at. We didn't see another soul.

Lowensda Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 http://www.itv.com/news/granada/update/2016-10-30/boy-dies-after-house-fire/ Happened down the road from us last night. Alot of people on my Facebook who knew the mum and her son. We drove past the house unintentionally on the way to a family walk, seeing the burnt out windows and the forensics tent outside was harrowing. The mum has since taken her life, seeing all the posts and videos on Facebook has absolutely destroyed me :'( So sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised, I don't know how any parent could live with themselves after such a tragedy, particularly if it was an only child. Unthinkable.
