Penny Lane: But has the penny really dropped?
Posted by Joe Riley on July 25, 2007 2:46 PM
We know to our cost, ever since they filled in the Cavern and replaced it with a pretend one, that it is not in Liverpool's interst to meddle with Beatles history.
The more that is left intact the better - and that include's Ringo's old two-up, two-down.

Were You EVER a tram fan?

Hurry, hurry, hurry, while old stocks last. Pilgrims journeying down Watling Street - aka Church Street, which is taking longer to lay than a Roman road - will notice that the excavations incorporate sets of tracks. Yes, you've guessed right. Old tram tracks, buried during the early 60s and now surely part of our industrial heritage?

Bashing The Bishop?
Posted by Joe Riley on July 13, 2007 2:41 PM
I was unable and unwilling to devote further space in my ECHO column this week to engage in a game of ping-pong with the Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones, replying to his published letter (July 6) regarding my article about him (July 5).
But as, in that letter, the bishop refers readers to his website for his 'real views', so I now publish a full account of what actually happened.

By George! What a Fella!

I've written some tributes in my time: actors, singers, composers etc. Very often concentrating on the quality and quantity of their work. That's an exercise which can be undertaken quite objectively, even without knowing someone personally.
