I hope with the help of the Liverpool people the Mersey Maritime Museum manage to win the bid for the Mauretania.

Best of luck to them I hope they succeed. I have in my possession an original glass slide of the Lusitania on trials on the River Clyde.

Maybe Paul McCartney, who made his money from Liverpool kids could buy it for the Museum
He only has £750,000,000 so what is he saving up for when he is in his 70s.?
£50,000 is nothing to him, like a fiver to me, time he put something back into Liverpool.

The people of Liverpool will not be worried about Paul McCartney's money they will subscribe to this with pleasure.

You can only produce something of that standard if you love what you are doing, a credit to its un-named builders

When the demolition men started demolish the Clyde Shipyards, anything and everything went into the skips. All the yard models that decorated the office entrances were skipped along with all the ships drawings.ic

Hi Jim
here is Paul McCartney in Liverpool from £117.85p a ticket up to £237.50p. some a lot more. If the people of Liverpool pay that I will be very disappointed. I would think they had more sense than that. Let us hope they would spend their money wisely for some of its Heritage instead of throwing their money on this bum. He has done nothing for Liverpool apart from taking its money.
One nights takings could take care of a lot of Liverpool's heritage problems.

I know it was an idea of Paul McCartney with Featherstone Witty to save his old school from dereliction. and he got it off the ground.
But today the finances are paid for by Student Fees, and Government grants, ie, the Tax Payer.
It was reported a while ago that he had pulled out.
