    Hi Billy, Lark lane is a great place. Really nice people and it's a nice clean and tidy little place. It's a great alternative to going to the city centre for a nice meal and night out. I enjoyed this video as I've got some really fond memories of the lane. Anyway thanks for your vid Billy. John. 🤔👍

    Cool. It's important to highlight the neglect in our citys, which you do with a lot of care; but I think it's equally important to show the good stuff that goes on in Liverpool...because I know there is a lot of amazing musicians/art etc up there. I haven't been up for a long long time. Way past time I got up there with my guitar.

    Had a gf on Pelham Grove , South Albert and the corner of Dalmery and Aigburth road. Lived on East Albert and Parkfield. Was ok back in the 90s , still had the old skool vibe. The Albert , Lodge ,Keiths and Marantos. Good to see them all still there. Paul the Barber must be getting on now.
    Sometimes get a yearning for the Green Mussels in garlic butter in Keiths. Never the same when I make it at home.

      We DO have the resources, it's just being spent and used badly. EXAMPLE.... We make shit food, cheap as hell, and food that's healthy and good for you is expensive as hell! If the government taxed cheap food and subsidised healthy food to make it cheaper, we'd, in general, all be a lot healthier, and wouldn't need the NHS, doctors, medication etc. as much, therefore freeing up money and resources for those who REALLY need the NHS.
      it's not what you spend it's how you spend it 🤷‍♂️
