CARS parked on pavements obstructing pushchairs, dog filth on pavements making us walk on roads full of speeding motorists who are preoccupied listening to inane thuds they call music, Whitney, Chelsea and Jordan being screamed at in double negatives by harpies in shellsuits, hard faced teenagers in their Rockports hanging around popping their gum as you walk by, humourless graffiti on a hopeless rail network, bus drivers with bad attitudes, taxi drivers blasting their horns, graves being vandalised, pigeons everywhere, pedlars annoying us on our doorstep, dark streets, light fingers, shop assistants holding out their hand with no please, no thank you, no pride and no morals... welcome to Wirral - a pleasant place to grow.
