I recently posted some opinions about a NW comment and would like to apologise to FlannerUK, Sheila & JanisJ, I should have responded in a more relaxed manner and not allowed myself to take the comments as seriously as I did, so my apologies to you all. I have discoved upon reading many other posts that it is not uncommon for people to sometimes "take issue" with things you write, and that one should answer in an adult manner,and keep it from getting too emotional. I was new(ish) to Foders but am learning....

People do get a little wound up on this board, but I think that happens all over the internet. As someone who has visited the northwest of England (gosh, how could you tell? ), I was delighted to see you champion one of my favorite places in the world. But that's what I like about Liverpool. It's the underdog. Fifty years ago, who would have guessed this city would become so important to music history?

Liverpool an underdog? Never was. Never will be.

Ann: thanks for being so gracious. The rest of us might draw a few lessons!!

Ann, I didn't think an apology was necessary; but thank you. And I did not intend to give offence, so please accept my apologies to you.

Well said Ann.
