  Hi Annie....

  What about local TV ie BBC local. Would they cover a special issue like this. I know our Look East cover out of the ordinary things and one off's. Tonight was a lady who every time she switches on her kettle the street light goes off. Ye Gods this is more entertaining than that surely...if not 'll eat my hat...I bet they'd cover that as well ;D ;D

  Will rack my brain and see what falls out with new ideas.

             Back soon all.

Dunno Annie ..... bit theres only one way to find out !! :o :o :o We should maybe start a thread with a title 
Liverpool People we need your help
( linked to this one maybe with a summary so people dont have to read all of it (not everyone has retired like me !! )  Liverpool fans are the best in the world as far as passion for their own go so if there are any ardent fans on RC maybe they can suggest something ....worth a try dont you think? :-\ ;)

I followed the thread and thought that after so much effort there should be some answers.    Lately, I E Mailed the Echo and they stated that the story had never been published and was told that the request should come from the person who wanted to pass on the wrist tag.

Why was this not stated long ago?

Any local TV is a good bet

Gatacre - at least you got a reply then.

I tried months ago by phone and e mail and did not get anywhere.  At least we now have the reason why nothing was published even if it is a pretty weak one!

Well they just ignored me after my first couple of contacts ... I was passed to the person who dealt with that section and she never replied !!  ::) ::) ::)

Anyways the Echo is a non starter now I think !  .... we'll just try other avenues !!  :)

Who's Billy Butler ? .... does anybody know where or how we can get in touch with him ?

Thanks for keeping tabs on this thread .... lovely to see you all again !!  ;D
