OFF: Brit Slang!

Aw Shucks,

I was born in Bootle, a lovely port town just along the banks of the lovely
River Mersey from Liverpool.
In its great days it had a wonderful town hall, lots of docks, some great
dockers cafes, some great dockers pubs and some great docker entertainment.
Now it has a wonderful town hall, lots of docks but not many dockers, lots
of empty, disused pubs and cafes.
It has a very dodgy shoping centre and the sickest building in the UK unless
it has been knocked down or fallen down. You know what sick building
syndrome is outside of UK?
Recently, I went past the spot where my first house stood. There is now a
government tax office on the site. What a sad thought.
But,,,,, the people of Bootle are great
Mark
