Yes still there, I think occupied by TK Max and a building society, I don't go down very often so not sure of occupants. I'm sure an avid shopper will know.

The Caledonia now called The Monkey Nuts has been closed down during a review of the licence for a number of reasons including a knife and a firearm. There are also allegations of drug taking and drug dealing.

Nothing changes down skid row!

Appears it was also called Eleanor Rigby's Bar at some time. This pub might have the record for the number of names changes.

I think there is a vintage vehicle storage/club along Wallasey Dock Road between Duke Street and Penny Bridge?

Since companies have popped up acting as agents for people's drives and garages prices have gone really silly (eg asking £30 a day for a driveway).

Further afield ....

Hooton Airport Trust might still store vintage vehicles.

Some 20ft container storage places allow you to store cars in the containers, a bit expensive on Wirral, cheaper in North Wales, cheapest I know is by Greenfield.

Self-Storage places ask silly money for outdoor let alone indoor but some removal firms are more reasonable and have indoor storage.

Sometimes its worth wandering around and see if you can find an industrial unit under-utilised and ask, a lot of small firms are happy for any extra income.

If you could find a group of reliable people you could rent a place together but generally some members don't pay up and it all falls to pieces.

tl;dr its not cheap these days

Should be fairly cheap from any scrapyard, they don't bother trying to sell them on unless they are near/known perfect.

There's more recent cars with similar sort of basic (no-ecm, no-injection) engines which should be easier to obtain. Peugeot/PSA TU1/k engines spring to mind, though it is OHC rather than OHV and the bolts are all metric not imperial. Those engines are probably a bit lighter than an A-series so easier to work on.

First engine I stripped down was a BL-B-series, followed by a GM-BLY.

Best advice I can give you is to get a decent socket set, stripping the heads on stiff bolts is the last thing you need. I tend to have a set of 6-point impact sockets as they are much less likely to spin on bolt heads and they are surprisingly cheap. A cheapo 12-point socket set is fine for co-operative nuts and bolts but if you are doing it outside a lot of toolsets are not chromed these days (lidl) and will rust if they get damp/wet. And of course you need a torque wrench for rebuilding, no need to spend silly money on those although the electronic ones are a lot quicker and easier to use, all mine are mechanical and work fine.

Good ratchet spanners are a godsend but not cheap, perhaps not as useful for engine-out work. Cordless impact drivers save an awful amount of time and patience.

Cheap air tools are pretty useless.

Most cars have been metric for a long time, if you start on a imperial A-series you will need another toolset for metric - noting its not totally uncommon to find imperial bolts around exhaust and brakes on a car that is otherwise metric.

Its a bad hobby to get into, you end up collecting more and more tools especially with modern cars, my collection is bad enough and the newest car I've worked was a 2000 model.

Hey! While it's been a while since this post, I thought I'd chime in just in case others are still on the lookout for a spot like this. If you ever find yourself in searching for restaurants in the sydney cbd, Dixson & Sons is a gem. Though not in Bromborough, it exudes the same cozy atmosphere with its outdoor seating. I remember stumbling upon it during my trip and being impressed by their Sunday hours. Even if it's a bit late to help the original poster, maybe someone else will find this recommendation handy.

Has anyone got one of these in their garden? If so, did you erect this yourself or did seller do it for you?
I need it done but can't find any local place to do it. Help, please.

Hello - we'd be grateful for any names of people in Wirral who could remove some Virginia Creeper from the side of my late father's house in Bebington. No expertise/technical skill is necessary!

It's a simple, quick, easy, non-specialist task that should take < 1 hour (I removed a large area in about 15 minutes but I promised my family I wouldn't tackle it as it involves ladders). My father did it regularly at 80. The branches break off easily and the plant falls off in a single piece under its own weight.

I can help and do all the clearing up. There are both wooden and metal extensible ladders available at the property.

Thank you for your consideration of this enquiry.

2 that I can recommend. I’ve had work done by both

1) spray system on Withens lane
2) pierce panels.

dodie pm me.

I was sure there was another topic on Landican, but I'm unable to find it. The search option seems to have disappeared.

Anyway, I've just unearthed a book on Domesday, and the pictures will give you the location, Latin, and English translation , so there's no need for me to say any more, apart from the fact that looking up the translation of 'Landechene' comes 'Landing' from German !
That's Interesting and maybe someone can explain more.
Number 8 is nearer to Woodchurch than the present day Landican and has a Priest. (Just been gardening, hence the grubby nails :))

The trouble is the dam thing wont keep still got most of Info off its ring but think need to spot at least 1 more number. Many thanks for help

NHS is on its knees through underfunding, semi-privatisation and profiteering. Very long waiting lists for many treatments.

The medical community is discovering the huge amount of hidden physical and biological damage that Covid has caused, even to those that only had a mild infection.

Sunak's response? "I'm going to crack down on sicknote culture".

Nice man!

Can anyone recommend a good fencing guy? Some of mine blew down last week and most I have rung are too busy which is understandable, but just thought maybe you know of a reliable one.

We spotted a traffic warden of some sort the other day, I was with an ex-traffic warden and made a comment. iirc it was not far from Woodside.

The parking control contract is handled by NSL Services and their operatives may be known as Civil Enforcement Officers.

The Council has backed down from pressure that accused them of profiteering from parking hence contracted out so they don't get the blame - it is a ludicrous claim, you only get a PCN when you are probably parked incorrectly. There is a ten minute grace period on all marked parking areas.

In 2023 there were 16785 PCNs issued, 2457 outstanding, 1337 (8%) successfully appealed and £506,347 received.

In 2024 there were 2957 PCNs issued up to the middle of March.

If you know of regular incorrect parking, inform the Council and they tell NSL who will try and include random checks there. If you know of regular obstruction, inform the Police.

In the future, Wirral "should" be posting annual reports here https://www.patrol-uk.info/annual-report/?au=Metropolitan%20Borough%20of%20Wirral assuming it is not replaced by some other scheme.

They are now claiming it is a success because the water was far less wild inshore of the barrier!

Excuses, excuses, excuses.....

There are signs that there was another stream heading towards the Bebington Station area from the Highfield Road area, basically the railway line route. Its quite common that railways followed water as it was a quick/cheap way of finding and surveying reasonably level routes.

It's such a letdown when a place doesn't live up to expectations, especially when you're looking for something special.
When I'm in a new place and need a good meal on a Monday evening, I usually steer clear of chain restaurants and opt for local spots instead. Just check out Sacramento restaurants. This city has some hidden gems when it comes to dining out.
If you're still on the hunt for a decent restaurant, you might want to consider checking out The Waterboy or Canon. They're not your run-of-the-mill chain eateries. The food at these places is top-notch, and the ambiance is just right for a relaxing evening out.
