    He's the man to sort out for you, he's the Ward Councillor for the area and he'll be only too keen to assist.
    How many blue suits can one man need? .

    Blue, the colour that signifies political independence, of course.

    Don't say that, he would be the one comlaining about farmers working long hours at harvest time or the smells of the countryside.

    Always been Kew retail park to me.

    I didn't know there was a circus? I haven't seen any flyers, posters, or lights.
    I drove down Lord Street last week, and noticed the road was scattered with red pieces of paper, obviously I didn't stop traffic to see what they were, but they noticeable enough for me to re-call. Not sure if they were from the circus though, could have been anything!
    When the golf was on, every park anywhere near me was shut to the public, couldn't park within 2 mile of my house, we got stopped, daily, walking on the pavement to allow people on and off buses as we couldn't inconvenience the golf spectators getting their special buses whilst walking our kids to and from school. The time before, our local play area was ripped out and never replaced, for the golf. My sons leaving party was cancelled having been booked months in advance, about a week prior, as they 'needed' the place for extra car parking!
    Now, what was your complaint? A circus I can't see, or haven't seen anywhere, oh dear, sounds terrible.
    Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be "discovered" by an election.

    http://planetcircus.uk/ have a read. It is moving to Eccles on Monday due to start there on Tuesday then the week after at New Brighton.
    It has been said that when helping people change their behaviour – “the spirit in which help is offered” is the most important aspect, more than the degree of skills and knowledge of the helper!

    I've only ever know it as Meols Park, Sefton Council also refer to Meols Park

    The error is with Google.

    One should reads those 'assets'lists much as one reads the newspapers these days - with a hell of a lot of salt!

    Saw some of the circus people leaving today along Eastbank Street! I would not have noticed except that the trucks they were using were huge and noisy!

    Surely the Circus is dying out now? So many of the traditional acts have been banned for possible cruelty to animals, for victimising certain people, etc., there are only the high wire acts and acrobats similar to which can be seen in many stage shows.

    I heard that! The only knowledge I have of circuses is you lot of posters on this site! Ha!Ha! Yes, fairgrounds - I have worked on a few! Females, in particular, were once attracted to such places and the masculine men who ran the rides, me included.

    If places like Derbyshire can attract people to the area in the winter months then I am sure Southport could. In Derby, there is always some attraction every weekend. There could be a Clown's Day - many of Q local could easily take part in that, there could be Photo Competitions, Model Kit Competitions, Art Competitions, Handicraft Exhibitions, Talent Competitions, Treasure Hunts, Dancing Competitions, Historic Theme Days etc., all with heaps of publicity! Not difficult. If Circus's were to be included, then it would be the more famous ones that would attract i.e. The Russian Circus and The Chinese Circus - but then again, I guess such venues would not be allowed by our local Council.

    Do you mean you were one of the masculine men on the rides, or mean that like females you also were attracted to those masculine men .

    Translated as predatory males and gullible underage teenage girls.
