• The best things about birkhead are the clubs down town and the people although a lot are KNOBHEADS.

• for all the people who slag off birkenhead. you should go and live in the south of england for a while. on youre return you will welcome the friendly attitude of birkonians, the south is full of whinging softshites with no sense of humour. i've been back here for a year and would never give the south another penny. and as most peopl know, if youre the sort of person to hang around argyle street after dark, expect anything.
• People who used to live in Birkenhead slagging it off because they haven't been there recently!! (i.e. Me!)
• Birkenhead is the best, I spent the best years of my life there, especially as a teenager in the 70's!!
• Memories of skeleton records, spending loads of the money i didnt have on second hand LP.s with the price written on the inner sleeve, I still have lots of these to this day. must have been the seediest record shop in the world.
