Given a choice between voting for Lord John or the Monkey , the Monkey would win every time , it probably has better manners

Re: Guilty or not?
We hear these different stories which most of the time are urban myth but they are peddled that many times that people believe that they are true.Without going into detail the story in Liverpool and most probably Birkenhead was "Cammell Lairds daughter gave birth to an Alsatian" this story did the rounds in Liverpool for years and people did believe it.The question is who is Cammell Laird as far as I am aware Cammell and Laird are two different families as it happens I haven't heard this story since the sixties maybe it went when the MN went.

Re: Guilty or not?
Hi Jim, Never heard that rumour while i was at sea, but am now wondering wether the Alsatian was a person from the Northern France area, or a dog!! the mind boggles KT

Cammell Laird, one of the famous names in British shipbuilding during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, came about following the merger of Laird, Son & Co. of Birkenhead and Johnson Cammell & Co. of Sheffield at the turn of the twentieth century
