Protect Liverpools World Heritage Site from Liverpool Waters
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/30272

Responsible department: Department for Culture, Media and Sport
Due to the threat to a Unesco World Heritage Site from the development known as Liverpool Waters it would be most appropriate if the government "called in" this application for scrutiny.
Unesco say:
Mission’s Conclusion and Recommendation
The mission concludes that if the proposed Liverpool Waters scheme as outlined during the mission would be implemented, the World Heritage property would be irreversibly damaged, due to a serious deterioration of its architectural and town-planning coherence, a serious loss of historical authenticity, and an important loss of cultural significance. It strongly recommends that the three principal stakeholders, being Liverpool City Council, Peel Holdings and English Heritage, reconvene around the table.

The government must not let Liverpool lose its WHS status for a speculative scheme that lacks the skill to create a 21st century city that respects its heritage assetts.

Suarez Scum-Ashamed to be a Liverpudlian

All my life I have supported Liverpool Football Club but they have allowed rascist scum to infiltrate its ranks.
The way the club has dealt with this affair of Suarez calling Evra a Negrita is an utter disgrace.
He was rightly banned for 8 matches but it seems that was not enough. The club supported him and for that reason the little rat thought he could get away with being a hero for not wishing to shake the hand of Mr Evra.
 He should be punished, and made to leave the club I dont want my city represented bt this sort of scum.

Daglish used to have the respect of a great number of people.
He has lost mine over the way he has dealt with this whole diabolical affair.
There comes a time when you have to get rid of clowns like Suarez.
And if the clown manager does not wake up to reality get rid of him too,

I have to agree with Sir Alex Fergusons's remarks and wish to add that while liars that wont own up to reality run the club Liverpool will forever be a little club and no amount of arguements with manchester United or its players will change that.

Wade-Smith Comes To India Buildings.

India Buildings is decked out in all its Xmas glory again and Wade-Smith a name that has been absent from the High Street for seven years has opened a store here in Holts Arcade

At the time of updating November 2022 The building is closed and all the HMRC staff had been told not to come into work due to a massive leak. Which will have done great damage to the structure. This is what happens when greedy people who are only interested in money are in charge.

All the care and attention that was given to the building. The Architect of this historic structure Herbert Rowse will be definitely turning in his grave. 

What a complete and utter mess.

Hearing space was available in Holt’s Arcade Robert Wade-Smith, who has been in retailing for 29 years, decided this was an ideal showcase to promote the brand. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/ldpbusiness/business-local/2011/12/14/celebrated-liverpool-business-family-wade-smith-returns-to-retail-after-nearly-six-years-absence-92534-29949341/ 
Peter Elson of the Daily Post popped around to write up an article for the local paper.
I welcome the Wade-Smith name to India Buildings and hope they can help me to establish an alternative shopping experience that is both interesting and positive for the business quarter of Liverpool, that is a bit more than the uniformity of the High Street, that seems to hold all the same brands, in every other city. We are open Saturday's till Xmas Eve and we hope that the current owners will help in establishing a weekend trade that helps the building to be open for the public who can marvel at its grandeur and discover its historic past.
Update 5.11.19 WHAT A WASTE OF TIME THAT WAS. He was off as soon as his rent free ended.

Liverpool Blitz Hero Remembered.

Its easy to forget the role that the Royal Pioneer Corps played in the war. A local hero Corporal James Scully was remembered, through the sale of his medals recently.
George Scully's George Cross and two other of his medals made £72,000 at a saleroom that was consigned by the family. It was the first time that the brave Corporal's medals had come onto the market

After The £53 Million Pounds Vase-The Treasures Of Chinese Porcelain on the BBC.

After the shock of a Chinese vase selling for 53 million pounds, yes 53 million pounds, a new series has just started on the BBC.
Considering the vase was was valued as a clever copy it is even more suprising.


“The piece was sold by a 70-year-old woman and her son and daughter. We were clearing her brother's house after he died and I looked at the vase and said: Oh, that looks nice'. It had just sat on the bookcase doing absolutely nothing.
“They told me it had been valued at just £800 two months earlier. They also told me the owner had taken it on Going For A Song on the BBC about 40 years ago. He was told it was a very clever reproduction.”

Take a look at the series.
