Hello Marged and Gordon, I have received copies of all four messages, two from each of you, and I see them all on the Archive. Sorry I've been absent for a while again, not at my best but ok now? Hope you're both well? But the list has been really quiet. I hope you both get copies? Regards Walter

Hi all I seem to be getting messages through from Marged and Gordon so perhaps it's to do with ISP's?? Christine Cunningham (Chair) INNOVA DEVELOPMENT TRUST Live it, Breathe it, Believe it, Be it!

Certainly is odd Gordon. Well, we'll have to see if we can get the list going again, won't we? Marged From: Gordon Evans Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2008 2:22 PM How odd! If I send a test message to the Merseyside list in the normal way it doesn't get through. But if I include a copy for Rootsweb Listmaster it does?. As I said - how very, very odd! Gordon

Hi Marge and Gordon, Tests came through fine here in Bridgeport, CT. Marge M

>From a friend on another list FINALLY - after two years, Liverpool's biggest secret is about to be released! I have been involved with this for two years and finally can now bring you my website: www.pearsonsofliverpool.co.uk "After the War Was Over" is the most fascinating publication we have ever had the privilege to produce, and its content is unique! In over 200 images, it uses hitherto classified photographs of outstanding large format quality to present a view of the secret goings-on around Wavertree and Edge Hill. Here, in bombed-out factories and on waste ground around Smithdown Lane, Overbury Street, Crown Street, Queensland Street and Falkner Street, a vast fleet of military vehicles were erected in great secrecy. Assembling crated vehicles sent across the Atlantic in the convoys, an army of engineers aided by old men, young boys and women, put together a vast fleet of military might, initially from Canada and then the USA. To culminate the Year of Culture events, this remarkable book tells the forgotten story, of how Pearsons of Shaw Street coped with this vital war work, and how they were then re-organised for the country's peacetime needs that followed. With only 1500 ever being produced, if you wish to reserve a copy, do not wait! Please feel free to pass this address on to anyone you think may be interested. J.

Hello Gordon, You wrote on 9/11>> < Should you not have George MACONOCHIE's bride Elizabeth EVANS (b1843 > with a follow-up on the 11th, for whidh I thank you. I did not have any of the Info:- you passed on, but I've got it now, there is an awful lot of Info:- I would love to add to my tree, part of which is on the SHERLOCKS, I seem to remember your offering it away back in March? 2007 (Blimey) nearly 2 years ago, time sure does fly away? If you still have a mind to pass on your SHERLOCKS, and any others to me I would be very Grateful for your help. I enjoyed your " Thoughtfor the Day " It brought back a lot of Memories, living in Crosby until 1947, when we were moved to a New house in Seaforth, I was there until joining the Navy in '51, dodging about then until I got "Trapped" in 1959 in Scotland. I'll leave it at that for now, hope to hear from you soon. Kind Regards, Walter.

Well said Gordon If only things were as simple today as they used to be. Us kids of the 1930's - 1970's used to have lives rather than possessions.

A good site for photographs if you have an interest in Kirkdale http://www.kirkdaleonline.co.uk/full_list.htm

Congratulations to all my friends who were born in the 1930's,1940's, 50's, 60's and 70's. First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer. Then, after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright colored lead-based paints. We had no child-proof lids on medicine-bottles, doors or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes we had no helmets or shoes -not to mention the risks we took hitch-hiking. As children we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. Take-away food was limited to fish and chips - no pizza shops, McDonalds, KFC, Subway or Nandos. Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn't open on the weekends, somehow we didn't starve to death! We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We collected old drink bottles and cashed them in at the corner shop to buy Toffees, Gobstoppers, Bubble Gum and some bangers to blow up frogs with. We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because...... We were always outside playing!! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.?? We would spend hours building our go-carts out of old prams and then ride down the hill, only to find out we'd forgotten the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and played in river beds with matchbox cars. We did'nt have Playstations, Nintendo Wii, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 999 channels on SKY, no video/dvd films, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no Lawsuits from these accidents. Only girls had pierced ears! We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at Easter time... We were given air guns and catapults for our 10th birthdays, We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Mum didn't have to go to work to help dad make ends meet! Rugby and cricket had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! Getting into the team was based on MERIT Our teachers used to hit us with canes and gym shoes, and bullies always ruled the playground at school. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! Our parents didn't invent stupid names for their kids like 'Kiora' and 'Blade' and 'Ridge' and 'Vanilla' We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

I like that, the good old days!! Its a shame our kids don't get to do what we did, its too dangerous to let them play on the streets now, if I let my kids play out on the street they would be knocked down within 10 minutes by all the lunatics doing 60 down a 20 mile an hour stretch.....not to mention the fact there are about 10 cars per 5 minutes now compared to maybe 10 in a day when I was a kid..... Then, the bad people......men and women we warn our kids about. But in our days its not just men and women (strangers), its other kids too...... Sad, the world has changed so much in such a short time when you think about it. Woody
