Bugger - I'm up in West Kirby too! Might have been the only GSer do I make this year!
Not the happiest of reasons though - Pip's nephew got beaten up by a bunch of scallies, and he's recovering from a pretty nasty head injury in the Fazakerley... We're up visiting and doing what we can. What I'd REALLY like to do would involve said scally and a baseball bat...
