Did I know you lived in Wallasey ?My Mum was also horrified
Postal address was originally Cheshire - which was a nice place
then changes to MERSEYSIDE - basically Liverpool - that nasty place over the water
ACtually where my Dad came from - I think she considered it as missionary work!!!
Pity she died before she could see me buy a house with a postal address of Cheshire again!
(although I pay council tax to Halton and am part of the Liverpool City Region
but the Police cars and ambulances say Cheshire
altogether I am not sure where I live!!!)
On this day - the night before I went to bed in Wallasey
and woke up in Merseyside
Oh and all the debts of the old Birkenhead and Wallasey councils passed onto Merseyside
On a TOTALLY different subject - a lot of new leisure centres and stuff got started in 1973ish and every road sign got updated and new signs appeared showing old village and town boundaries - which must have cost a bit!!
(friend's Dad was high up in the admin for the counsel - he commented on night in the sailing club that the amount of money spent in the last year of the old counsels was amazing!!
I knew you were from the Wirral but Wallasey ?
Which road/street was that ?
