For England!


Liverpool University building lit up like St.Georges Cross for football World Cup, England flagThe University of Liverpool’s Engineering Department is currently lit up like the St.Georges Cross for the World Cup – it’s normally setup to fade through a series of colours.  It looks absolutely fantastic – hopefully they’ll have reason to leave it on after today – come on England! :)

I noticed this England flag earlier in the week – it’s on top of a massive scrap heap on the outskirts of Widnes.  Anyone who saw England’s first two games might think there’s some sort of symbolism involved here but whoever went up there and planted is a braver man than me – I’ve posted a few pics so you can get an idea of how big it is.  Wanted to get it posted before Sunday – come on England!  And even if we don’t win, we can at least console ourselves we’re not Italian.

Or French.

Funland! – Southport

Hello there…you may have noticed that the FP blog & site have been down recently.  We’ve had a problem with our hosting – it’s now been resolved but we’ve taken the opportunity to overhaul the blog completely.

Anyway, this is a picture of the Silcocks arcade on the front at Southport.  I had to visit recently on business and took the opportunity to take some photos of the nearly deserted fairground and arcades.
