February 1996
I took the train up to Liverpool to visit Smurf. He was feeling poorly, what with his gun-shot wound and car crash, amongst other problems. Liverpool is famous as being the birthplace of the Beatles, so I had a wander along Mathew street, where the Cavern Club is located, and saw the statue of Elinor Rigby. Also in Liverpool is the Albert Docks, where a conglomeration of museums are teamed up with tourist-based shops and cafes. It was even open on a Sunday, unlike the main shopping centres in Liverpool. In the dock itself is a floating map of Great Britain, which is used in the weather reports on Breakfast Television. |
