Robbing is one thing. It's this senseless need to beat seven shades of sh!t (or worse)out of strangers that I cannot even begin to understand.

Fair enough Alex, I wish you well. However to where will you move that you can guess/ estimate or even know that there will not be the same levels of street/ personal crime?

Unfortunately not everyone has the luxury of being able to even think about moving. In my case ties to an elderly relative (and I am no spring chicken myself). In time I hope to acquire a place to live outside UK, although I guess I will never totally cut my links.

But to where? I have travelled widely and have seen many places - the good, the bad and the downright dangerous. I have family and property in South America - but that does not appeal. I have family in China and that does appeal . . . but I think not long term. I have family in the USA, and that certainly does not appeal except for holidays. I have been to OZ, and unless you are outside the cities it is not a lot different from here (weather excepted of course). I love Africa, but it is far too dangerous.

So where?

Hey boys,get it in perspective,this has always gone on,on any Saturday night!

I agree, but it seems far more frequent and far more violent than I remember...

Because we are much better informed than we used to be.Much more information through tv,press and of course the internet.

I,ve just moved here, I think (and I hope) I have made the right decision, have lived all over UK (some nice some not so nice)and travelled most of EU with work a fair bit. I chose to move here from Northwich as I think Wallasey/Liscard/New Brighton has a lot going for it.

My car was vandalised on Saturday night and I am not going to blame the area. In every ten thousand people there are always going to be two or three d**kheads and hangers on. That's a statistical fact (if its not it should be).

Meanwhile we all twiddle our thumbs waiting for any news/ gossip about what really went on at the Lighthouse.

Surely someone must have nipped in for a quick pint and a listen/ chat/ casual inquiry??

Snod,If you read my earlier post,I asked some regulars outside the pub what had happend and the said someone had used a hammer to smash the glass in two of the doors.
They also said that although the pub was open as usual,they hadn't even bothered to clear the glass away!
We still haven't found out about the murder in Liscard though on New Years Eve!

just got info off my son. lad got barred came back with a hammer. was in there last year, young ones watching a match getting pissed,shouting getting on table and dancing .gone down the nick have lived here 25years now not what you expect when your having a meal

Ahh!That adds up then!

Issue was that after your post someone indicated that a shotgun had been used. Hammer by a barred yob makes more sense (not that "sense" is really the right word).

Personally this sort of thing ie yob behaviour, makes me glad that I do not go in pubs - occasionally the Three Stags @ Spital for lunch with past workmates ie twice a year.
