“I was also interested to learn from the prog that he spent many hours in the reading room of Liverpool Library”.
It is a beautiful room, recently restored to its original glory.
“A complex, highly intelligent man and the stand-up comedian without equal in my opinion.”
Yes, he was the best. He was also very fondly regarded in Liverpool because he never forgot his roots. He lived in the same house in Knotty Ash all his life.
My mother worked in the Labour Exchange in the area. She said he often used to call in and make a few jokes and would ask if there were any jobs in the jam butty mines.
He wasn’t one of those irritating celebrities who would go on about Liverpool being great but was never seen in the city. Not mentioning any names (Cilla Black).
