I was born and bred in Wallasey. I still recall when 'they' decided we were no longer in Cheshire. My mother really objected an till the day she died all correspondence was addressed Wallasey, CHESHIRE.

Was that the 1974 boundary changes? They moved Coventry from Warwickshire to West Midlands then, which upset a lot of people in Coventry.

Tell her not to get too obsessed......that's how I smashed my collar bone. :laugh:

Ouch. I broke 4 ribs which healed quite nicely in a couple of days, but the shoulder keeps popping out of joint meaning that I lose hand control and it causes pain. It's classed as a category 3 acromio-clavicular sprain. I've a big bump protuding from the top of the shoulder. I can sometimes manage to manipulate it back in, but that hurts too. It doesn't help that I'm a proper wuss.

It was.
TBF to my mum and others, "Cheshire" sounds rather up market while "Merseyside" sounds a bit errhh Scouse.

TBH I am no longer clear on what constitutes a pen.
He completely missed his kick but the Spurs player took him out in the box AFTER the ball had gone.

Which is why it was NOT a penalty. Give that against Rovers at the Blackburn End and the ref will get a bundle of abuse for the rest of the game. :laugh:

I sit near the halfway line so might offer a little gentle booing at half and full time. :okay:

I enjoyed it. Have read the book too. There is quite a few in the Roy Grace series, so hopefully they might make more.

Lovely walk done. Gorgeous morning for it.

Yes, we enjoyed it too.

I have read all of the books except the most recent one (about 16 or so).

Did you notice that Norman (Potting) was missing in the TV version? I suspect they chickened out of having such a non-PC character on screen. 😊

Wuss? You sound very brave to me! ;)
