Wirral Egg Run Cancelled????

When the county of Merseyside was formed, many years ago, the "other
side" was changed from CH postcodes to the L postcode, and only a few
years ago it was changed *back* to the CH postcode, where it rightly
belongs.

If the idiots in charge got their act together and put us back to where
we were before the county of Merseyside was created, then I would once
again be classed as a resident of Lancashire, and not Liverpool
(despite the fact that I actually reside in Sefton and not Liverpool).

It's not unusual, though. L23 is a long long way away from L24!

That timescale is a world of difference to the quality of the River
Mersey. Perhaps you should try and visit again sometime.

Oh Puh-LEASE! It caught a Lesley, and you could catch one of those with
a day-glo crane hook attached to a luminous cable, dangling a "PEOPLE

"Quality angling", my arse.

On my list of places I must get back to Murkeyside isn't very high.

 

Not really, if I have to go for work I shall, I don't foresee any
other reason unless there's decent diving in which case it's a
possibility.

 

Sounds like the perfect Merseyside holiday.

As a couple of ex Wirral bikers who now live in Shropshire we were very
surprised to here it had been cancelled. So
when we went to the wirral to see
my Father in law I mentioned it to him, he then gave me this[info]

Popular Egg Run is now off the menu

THERE will be no Wirral Egg Run this
year following the resignation of the
organising committee at a meeting last
Sunday.
The annual motorbike convoy across
Wirral raised £12,000 for sick children last
year, and has become an institution.
The popularity of the event, which can
attract 5000 participants prompted Mersey-
side Police to request a change in the for-
mat due to public safety concerns.
The police said despite protracted negoti-
ations they were unable to fully satisfy
safety concerns and the organisers decided
against staging the Egg Run.
A police spokesman claimed the
Concerns over road safet
organisers would not agree that an alterna-
tive day-long motorcycling event and a
London Marathon-style registration
scheme could achieve the same objective.
Wirral Area Commander, Chief Superin-
tendent Alan Jones said: "I really regret
that the 'official' Wirral Egg Run 2005 will
not now take place but the safety of the
participants and members of the public is
of paramount importance to Merseyside
Police. We have had considerable discus-
sions with the organisers over the format
of the event and I am more than willing to
continue those discussions for an eve:
2006 that will achieve the key object!
raising money for hospital charities."
Wirral Council's director of regei
tion, Alan Stennard, said: "Council
have been working with the Egg Run (
mittee to make this a safe but fun day.
"We understand, however, that
demands for this event mean that
organisers have decided not to be invc
in any future organisation of the Egg
for 2005. It's a sad but perhaps neces
decision given the scale of the project.

 

As said by Clarkson plagiarising PJ O'Rourke, "A beautiful country,
spoilt by those living in it"

 

So, after your current run of experiences, Leeds is 3 then?

I don't do diving, but I can ask people in my local sports club that do
it for you, if you want.

I'll even accomodate you, if you feel up to it.
