Just to quash the insidious rumours that Liverpool is bad..
Clocked on for the night shift one November (back around 1971) for the usual Ford charters and Cambrian freighters to EGAA. About 2300 there was some flashing light activity so we peered round the lift shaft and saw a bunch of blokes pushing a Triumph Herald off the road onto the pavement and then all roar off again.
Several hours later as it got light again someone idly glanced over to the roadside and said "Who dumped that wrecked Herald over there?".
Picked clean it was - no bonnet, boot, wheels and probably no engine..
And before Sqibbler says anything I'm a Scouser too.. Left EGGP in 1972 - I doubt I'd know anyone there now..
