Titanic Building.
They have just added this dormitory type room to the Titanic Hotel,I myself can only see this with it's top bunks resulting in an accident.I imagine people booking this will be wedding parties and the likes,the ladders up to the top bunks look very dodgy to me and can you imagine people climbing up and down them during the night to go to the loo.Where is the Elf & Safety here.
Regards.

Re: Titanic Building.
I think the old SAILORS HOME would have been better.
The Dormitory in Gordon Smiths Institute for Seamen was only four shillings [20p[ a night with sausage egg and bacon and a mug of tea thrown in in the morning.
.
Who puts out the light?? last one in bed after some have been turned in for 2 or 3 hours.
and the noise. all snoring grunting and farting, worse than the Glory Hole on the Queens.
only a few inches between beds and no where to hang your wedding suit.
.
I think I will stay at the IBIS.
Thanks for the look in Jim.
Cheers
Brian

Re: Titanic Building.
Thanks for that Jim, very interesting. Also has a look at the pictures showing Liverpool in the 1960s. By the way have you any idea as to why the thanks and like buttons have disappeared. Just curious.

Re: Titanic Building.
Reminds me of a night I once spent in the seamns 'hotel' in Southampton. For some unknown reason the bed sheets had been starched, spent most of the night scratching.


Happy daze John in Oz.
