Wirral Egg Run: Very disappointed by R Peters' terrible letter
11:00am Tuesday 29th January 2013 in Letters
I WRITE in complete disappointment that R Peters has emailed such a terrible letter.
The Wirral Egg run has been a huge success since 1981, and has grown bigger and bigger every year.
Each year it helps to change the lives of many children throughout Wirral.
Not only do the chocolate eggs bring a smile to a sick child, but the money raised is used to help purchase specialist equipment for babies and children in hospital.
I have family members who are in full support of this by actually doing the Egg Run and, as for myself, I work in the neo-natal unit at Arrowe Park Hospital where this is a very important day on the social calendar.
It is of huge benefit to the sick and premature babies that are treated there.
So I suggest to R Peters that you mark this momentous day on your social calendar and you re-arrange your plans for a little later that day or stay indoors.
How someone can actually be so selfish and insensitive is beyond belief!
I would appreciate this being published as it is of huge importance that we get as much support as possible.

I also wonder if the primary gripe of the letter is not so much the Egg-Run, but the fact that United Utilities have a monopoly on water supplies. Who cares, as long as the event is able to take place. Again, bigger picture please. I suggest the complainer looks at the Egg-Run's website and the other media websites that have reported on past Runs. They all state how thousands lined the route, applauding the participants as they passed. Personally, I would suggest it is tens of thousands.
It would seem that Dickensian type characters still continue to exist in this day and age. I would not have been too surprised if the letter had contained the phrase "Are there no Workhouses?" Shame R.Peters.

i have stated before on here if people want to go and show off their bikes,then CLEAR off to a bike rally..do not use the excuse and giving a sick child a £5 easter egg a free for all for all bikers to stop traffic and cause disruption...i could not care less if its only once a year..its once a year too many!!!
also it pollutes the environment!
donate online and make a difference in that way so it goes on a machine rather than giving them an unhealthy fattening egg....
i hasten to add I am not the writer of this letter above and many of my friends agree with me,just cannot be bothered to waste time on here commenting....if you are not interested in motorbikes(which most people are not) it is a pain in the ****.
United utilities should realise the average joe is NOT in favour of this jolly day out for the bikers...CLEAR OFF.
Mr.Peters is the silent majority....Lets see a member of parliament support this egg run and then see if they get voted in...the answer is they won't and NO.....
Finally,the moronic comments on here....he is expressing his opinion as I am....to question if he has a condition and say he has spoken garbage,if you don't like the fact he is being open and honest ignore him and stay in your own group of sheep.Just because it is for charity does not mean everyones agrees...I bet if you added up the cost of the eggs £10000 at most.....my mate donated that for running the london marathon..a much better example...CLEAR OFF TO YOUR BIKER RALLIES AND STAY THERE.
