Really love this 'busy' pic of the Albert Dock in Liverpool, complete with Billy Fury sculpture, vintage ice cream van, Liverpool Maritime Museum and an amazing lit up tall ship!

Ever been on a bus through the Mersey Tunnel where the ‘fast tag’ has failed and it has had to reverse so it could go through a different pay booth?
Neither had I until the other day!
Shame on you Selwyn’s coaches!
Ok - when did you ever hear of a ‘community’ health centre or a ‘community’ fire station? They were always there in the centre of the community and didn’t need to be labelled!! Then they disappeared and now are being replaced with one smaller one replacing four or five that were genuinely in the ‘community’ not stuck away in the corner where the land is cheapest!
When did you ever hear of a queue forming in the middle of a street at 4 o clock in the afternoon in North London for the arrival of the mobile post office?
Nicki’s latest poem inspired by Wilko News intrepid explorer/musicians, currently in the Caribbean on Britannia with P&O.
IN TRANMERE
It's a horrible grey
bastard of a day
in Tranmere!
With relentless rain
on the window pane
that won't clear
Why can't we
be sailing on the sea
on Britannia?
Instead of under a dark cloud
for crying out loud
in Tranmere!
What would make me smile
is a Caribbean isle
and some sunshine
A white sandy beach
A mojito within reach
how divine!

Talking of Matt and Sarah - congratulations on being able to put a big tick against South America on your list of places visited!! Isla Margarita on the right here is a part of Venezuela!
That is so amazing, that’s all 5 continents now guys!!
So what happens next? Oh yes I remember fly back from Barbados so you can visit New York and Christmas in UK and then …… oh I remember now….. back to the Caribbean!!
Just like to say that me and Nicki to name just two are not jealous or envious at all!!!
Keep on Keeping on my wandering minstrels
extra ordinaire!!
Must also mention Tim Wilko and his 3rd secondment ‘upstairs’ at ecnalubmA HQ, he is thoroughly enjoying it and we all hope that he is able in the future to take up a permanent post!
Have you ever gone through your history on Google maps/earth? Can be quite fun!!
Here’s some of my most recent places :
St. James Muswell Hill ; Bangor Pier ; Caledonia Street, Liverpool ; Isla Margarita ; Alvor, Portugal ; Ruins Rock cafe Dominica.
If you don’t have a rich history - make one!! Simply type the first couple of letters of a place in to search and then go to one of the other suggestions that it comes up with!! So if you type Ca for Canada it will give you Cancun for example. Go on have a good explore!! Before you know it you will be going street view and images of all the places you dream about!! We all have dreams!!Before I go I have to ask you where else would you be able to hear Bohemian Rhapsody played on a 1905 fairground organ? If that shocks you to the core then don't press play on the vid below!!
Oh too late!!
