Yes, I am from Liverpool: originally from near Anfield and then from very close to the airport.
A mile or so from from the airport is Flemming Road, named after Alexander Flemming of penicillin fame. Given the amount of global human benefit and financial benefit to Liverpool that drug and its derivatives have brought, I think Flemming International Airport may have been more appropriate, but why not just Liverpool's own name?
Lennon (and George Best of Belfast) set such a bad example through his behaviour, and his musical talents were negligible.
When people like that get such official endorsement it's little wonder that our idea of talent, standards and worth are so low, and that we have so much anti-social behaviour. I know I'm very far from alone in my view of Lennon's abject unworthiness.
