Hi Marged Yes I lived in Wallasey.

I was in Liverpool 7, but looking at your mail again, I see you were in the Wirral. Would give a lot to hear those sounds again Marged No Christmas recollections but New Year. When I was a child my mum and dad always woke me up before midnight and I remember standing at the doorway or out in the street with all the neighbours as everyone gathered around waiting for midnight when all the ships in dock on the Mersey let off their sirens. It always seemed exciting and something to look forward to. That is New Year to me and it has never been the same since I moved away to the south of England.
