Strange that facts and reality collide, as I have extensively investigated the Leeds / Liverpool canal, that an extension runs by my house, but you are able to post non facts regarding that, so your source seems a strange one. Quoting data from non verified data is a strange tract. WHY make data up That has been researched by others? The other information is the unverifyable, so made up. Can you confirm the source?

I have spent many years, doing research, about the Leeds/Liverpool canal, what you write, is complete and utter nonsense. Most made up, and complete fantasy.
 
Fact and reality collide?? Care to expand on that??

Rather than provoke, why not simply point out the error(s) you allude to. Afterall, you've just told us you are something of an authority on the subject.

I think you will have to wait until my book is pubished, that I'm writing, about my area. But you know you won't be getting a copy.

You are the one challenging posts, so you post the valid, correction. That's how it works. It's not a difficult concept, to most people anyway.

No one has stated you are factually incorrect - yet, because you ain't posted anything.

And stay away from the water.
 
CBH you seem to be comparing liverpool with cumbria. Also look at the negatives, compare statistics for car crime, murder, burglaries, stabbings, rapes, hooliganism, riots, those claiming benefits etc.

I wonder which area would be an out and out winner? :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
