part 2 because we missed a bit
This should be the piece that was missing from my last post it goes something like this
I remember when I was a licensee in town and 1 of the taxi drivers I knew said to me “It’s alright for you Alan after you have filled them up with booze and thrown them out of the pub at closing we have to put up with them” or something like that it sometimes seems a lifetime away since I was behind a bar so you will excuse a failing memory.
So after an enjoyable afternoon at the Royal Court our next stop was the town hall as Scouse was on the menu with pickled cabbage, bread and tea and all for £3.50 it seemed the recipe for something hot on what was going to be a very cold night. However when we arrived in “Scouse Land” all was not well, although the town hall looked all sparkly and clean the Lord Mayor had pulled out all the stops, but we were greeted to them words “I think the Scouse has run out” as it was only a couple of hours since they had been open we carried on to the ballroom where we were greeted by a queue and lots of people eating so we joined it and had our money taken as we neared the front of it only to be told “ we are just waiting for more Scouse, won’t be long” then later those words of dread to all “No more Scouse” However all was not lost pea and ham soup
was available as well so we tucked in to a bowl each followed by cake and tea in what I must say was surrounding not normally seen only on open days and not serving food to the masses. After a quick look round off we went to join the throng down at the Pierhead. How well it all looked all the 3 “Graces” light up with different colours men on bikes that were covered in different coloured lights.
Then the show started with a look back at the year with music to sing-along to and all finished off with a riot of fireworks, what a great day and night and was I glad I was wearing my L Js on a very cold night not a pretty picture to conjure up but very necessary on that night. Well we are at the end of the Capital of Culture Year and I for one have enjoyed our own city over the last 12 months.
Now back to Neurosuuport because through all this article there is a link “Who got the last bowl of Scouse?” it was one our very own, if anyone finds out answers on a postcard please to the usual address of course no prizes but it’s the taking part that matters. Hope to see you all on 28th January for the volunteers meeting 10.00 till 12.00pm
