50p got me 4 pints and a packet of crisps in the early 70s.

Yes, Kingsley Street with council houses infilled. Presumably, the bomb that destroyed the Avenue Theatre.

There is a Luftwaffe reconnaissance map of Merseyside. Can easily be found online.

Birkonian @birkonian.bsky.social · 2d

There are still vacant sites in Birkenhead where bombs landed. Also, infill housing that differs from adjoining properties.

An enjoyable shift at a wet Aintree racecourse today.

In two months time Christmas will be over so I'd better get cracking. These beers are to be drunk tonight.

Indeed. The clock in my car will tell the correct time tomorrow for the first time in six months.

Why am I not surprised?

It was to Jezza's jokey comment.

Ha!

I could see it once I proved I was an adult.

I couldn't see your photos because they are 'adult content.' 🤣

I've had to verify my account.

Co-Op Live, next to the Etihad in Manchester works. After a recent sell-out concert, short walk to the tram and back in the city centre in less than 15 minutes.

No. 3 Horninglow is a double hopped IPA brewed in 2020 by Marston's. It's an English style IPA, which is to my taste. It's really very good, I wish I had some more bottles.
However, it may well be the final Marston's beer I ever drink because I really dislike their brewery closure policy.

Can't argue with any of the above.

I normally go out drinking on Sunday afternoons but I'm working at Aintree. A few Xmas beers are planned for the evening and one will be a Stille Nacht.

Birkonian @birkonian.bsky.social · 8d

I used to drink in the Lady Hamilton when I was er.. 15/16.

No food served on Mondays. I don't know if that includes pies.

Birkonian @birkonian.bsky.social · 9d

I've still got some. 20 years old, I should drink them.
