My first time in Liverpool was in 1965 doing a fireman's training course by the Shipping Federation office on Pier Head. Stayed for two weeks in the 'Sailor's Home' (which looked a bit like the Tower of of London.) Being from the West Midlands Liverpool was my 'pool' city.

I have to say while I agree with the nostalgic memories of the city I was there last year visiting the museums and gazing up at the sky scrapers where the Shipping Federation had once been and I was pretty impressed with how the city had pulled itself up out of the darkness of the 80's.

But it's history should not be ignored and incidents like the Planet Lightship aren't helping any.
