They can't have been all fogged-out, could they ?
Danny.
PS: Have a stroll down Lord Street on a bright morning for me - for I shall never see it again. Southport was my second home as a boy, my maternal grandfather lived there, I knew it (then) so well, and my parents lie in the Eastbourne Road [seems to be called "Cemetery Road" now] Cemetery.
Impossible to say I think, as you say very sad. Got right up to the Merlin and the smell was as if it had just been taken off the aircraft, hot oil etc.
Was walking Lord St at lunchtime today, work just round the corner so do it often. Shadow of itself a bit now, high rates, empty shops and expensive parking / over zealous parking wardens are slowly taking the character out of the place, it's a shame.
