I used to think New Brighton was brill as a kid ,going over on the ferry was an outing in itself. the old helterskelter and amusement arcades, its a ghost town now.

Brian,
The old condoms are known as rubber lug, the old panty liners are known as Mersey Skate, some are more like Manta Ray,(bigger wings).
If you take a trip out to the waters edge on Crosby Beach, at very low tide, you will see hundreds on the beach.
The river is cleaning up, but there is still a lot of muck let out in the river on the out going tides.
I have caught Codling, Whiting, Eel, various flatties and eaten them for years from the Mersey, all you have to watch out for, is the Mercury...
