Re: Lucy Letby

Common sense is starting to prevail https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...lucy-letby-conviction-expert-panel-findsThat statement also concurs with what I hypothesised previously about a a failing department looking for a scape goat. This could be a travesty for Letby, the justice system and the families of the babies involved in this case. Not only would the families find out their babies weren't murdered but also they may have died through medical negligence. the Countess of Chester’s neonatal unit was overworked, understaffed, had plumbing issues and was staffed by “inadequate numbers of appropriately trained” clinicians. It said there were “numerous problems” in the care of the 17 babies, including a failure to properly carry out “basic medical procedures, delays in their treatment and the misdiagnosis of diseases" “so many problems with the medical care” of the babies and nothing to support the claim they were attacked Furthermore, if the prosecutors misrepresented evidence in court, is that not perjury? I also raise questions as to why the identity of some of the witnesses in court were kept secret, there is absolutely no reason in a case like this for that to occur. Perhaps without that anonymity their damning statements may not have been the same?

Re: Heathrow's third Runway

We should be removing business tax relief for international travel, most business passenger travel is totally unnecessary these days. Spot the guy who doesn't do big business internationally. Can you explain why it is "necessary" rather than "expected"? Loads of people like to keep the "jollies" system going. As soon as we could we introduced videoconferencing but it was a number of years before that would work internationally. Relationships aren't built and maintained through a computer screen, especially when it comes to multi-million £/$ deals and the need for close collaboration. It is absolutely necessary in a lot of instances. Yearly conferences and the industry coming together is totally necessary for example. Granted, not all travel is necessary and brief catch ups can be done remotely, some air travel is unnecessary but you will never get to a point where it all can, nor should it. How sad a world we'd live in if we never left our houses and explored the world.

To add to a comment on reddit......
Domino's Pizza provide (or at least did provide a few years ago) car insurance under their own business insurance so you don't need to have delivery insurance on your personal car insurance when working for them. I guess the same may be true for some of the other delivery firms.
Sorry to hear you are in this trap, it is in more ways than one the reason the birth rate of the country has gone down, the Government are more interested in more workers than more kids. So many people like yourself paying the price of capitalism. Never give up, things have a funny way of working out unexpectedly, be good, be proud.

Heswall and "Yowlers"
neil1024
22nd Jan 2025 11:36am
It is now part of a very old dialect that my grandparents may have known, but Heswall residents were known as "Yowlers".
I had never heard the term in my lifetime (b. 1949) until I got to know one of the last full-time Hoylake fishermen in the 1970s and he always talked about "Yowler City" meaning Heswall. But I never heard that again until some recent searching.
As confirmed by Wirral historian and writer Greg Dawson, Neston people called those in Heswall "Yowlers" and they called Neston people "Yusers" as in the greeting "A'reet Yuse?" And two articles in Neston Past "Reminiscences of a Train Boy" describing the Hooton line journey to school at Calday Grange GS also said that Heswall was called "Yowler".
But no-one has so far explained why that epithet? My guess is like the Black Country people are called "Yam-Yams" and the Brummies "Yow-Yows" (both for "you are") maybe it was an old dialect for "you will".
Any ideas or recollections welcomed!

In 1921, Victor was living in Toxteth, Liverpool, with Joseph Savage and his wife, Fanny Eliza, nee Warmington, recorded as Nephew. Joseph Savage was a Policeman and no doubt Victor followed later in his footsteps.

Re: Stonehouse Rd/ Russell Road. Wallasey Village

Hello This may seem an out of blue message. Recently my dad has been talking about his extended family he had a lot of aunts and uncles. Never really knew alot about them. He mentioned he had an uncle (paternal side) who was a policeman in Liverpool, my dad was very young when he was in the force, then lived in Wallasey with his aunt Elsie. Been having a look online to see if i could find anything and came across this messageboard. It seems to tie up with your post and I'm wondering if its the same people! would love to see photos if you had any or willing to share any more info. We are based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. My dads family (Warmington) came from Nuneaton , Warwickshire.

Re: New buildings

If you look at a lot of the old workers terraced houses in the area, despite being basic houses of the era most of them have some ornate work, the gutter support, embellishments or shaping on the sandstone lintels and/or sills, ornate window supports, complex doorway etc.
I was caught in a traffic jam at Birkenhead Road today and was looking at the curved bays with the curved lintels and sills, they were obviously mass produced but some thought about appearance had occurred. Some modern houses don't have visible lintels any longer not even a run of header bricks. Yes, I do that too. I look at the older buildings (even the older terraces like you mentioned), and you can see there was some creativity and pride back then. I think corporate greed has taken over....now it's all about profits. I've watched quite a few videos about how we're losing the skills we had in architecture in buildings etc. There are some really good videos about it if you look around. Just look at cathedrals for example. Amazing works of art. Sad isn't it

Merseyrail Deep Weather
diggingdeeper
9th Jan 2025 5:15pm
Apparently the Wirral Line was shut down today because ......
"Due to poor weather conditions at Hamilton Square, all Wirral line services are currently suspended due to poor weather conditions"
I would love to know how the weather affects trains in a 90ft deep level station?
