Issue 49 South Liverpool July 2011
IT’S OUR 5th BIRTHDAY!! Dawn
Moira
As the old saying goes: “time flies”! However, it does seem incredible to think that our first edition was published five years ago this month. What started off as a “bright idea” when we were working together at the Liverpool Echo came to fruition in July 2006 and we started off by distributing 8000 copies of the West Derby Link throughout West Derby & Croxteth Park. We’ve since gone from strength to strength and following the launch of the South Liverpool Link in August 2007, we now
have a total monthly distribution of 31,000. If someone had told us that five years ago we’d have said it was way beyond our wildest dreams and expectations! As it is, we have firmly established ourselves as a favourite independent local publication and we have exciting plans to grow the business and expand further still. We remain a totally independent “two-woman business” and are the first to recognise that the

IT’S OUR 5th BIRTHDAY!! continued from page 1 success of The Link is entirely down to you - our readers and our advertisers. So we say a very big thank you to you all for your constant support and loyalty over the last five years and for the trust and confidence you have placed in us. We also thank you, our readers, for the way in which you have supported our advertisers. The old adage that if you stand still in business then you end up going backwards is especially true these days and we have some exciting plans for the future (some of which we are keeping to ourselves for now!). However, we can tell you that we have a new website in the
pipeline and it will soon be possible to both read The Link online 24/7 and, for those advertisers who wish to do so, to place an ad online 24/7. It goes without saying that we will of course still be distributing the paper to all our readers in exactly the same way. So in thanking all our readers and advertisers we’d also like to pass on our thanks to: • All our regular contributors: Stephen Guy (whose wonderful local history articles continue to inform and entertain), David Shelbourne, Peter Harrison (Alder F.C.), Jim Stanway (South Liverpool F.C.) and Peter, who does all our competitions and so on.

SOUTH GO FOR A NEW CHALLENGE by Jim Stanway It has been a hectic month for South Liverpool F.C.; after winning the Liverpool County Premier League Premier Division Cup on a great night at Walton Hall Park, the first team then proceeded to lose their last four league games and were relegated from the premier division. The club then resigned from the league, applied to the neighbouring West Cheshire League and last week obtained membership of the West Cheshire League 3rd division for next season. Accordingly, the club’s reserve

team required a new league and have rejoined the I-Zingari Combination from whence they came two years ago. It is hoped that this relatively lower standard of football will assist the club’s younger players in achieving maturity and to move more seamlessly into the first team. At the beginning of June, the club expanded massively following the amalgamation with Burford Junior F.C. The club will therefore now have a junior section comprising teams under-8s teams up to a youth team competing in the youth division of the West Cheshire League. South’s presentation evening was held recently at Anderson’s (Smithdown Road) and an excellent evening was had by all. The team’s leading goalscorers Ross Kennedy and Francis Evans received awards; Adam Rood and Neil Roach won the Supporters Players of the Season awards; Adam Halliday and Pat Kelly won the Players’ Player of the Season awards; Billy Birch won the Clubman of the Season award and was presented with the W J Sawyer Memorial Trophy. So after ending the season on a low note, South will be entering the new season in August on a high note, with numerous new challenges ahead.

LIVING IN THE PAST by Stephen Guy
In the 18th century the countryside was changing slowly but irreversibly as machines began to take over from time-honoured methods used for centuries. Jethro Tull was a lawyer who turned to farming and became a pioneer of the Agricultural Revolution when Britain was in the forefront of change which improved production and health. Oxford-educated Tull introduced several new farming methods and is probably best known for his seed drill of 1701. This planted seeds in rows rather than sowing them by hand in Biblical fashion. It meant that crops could be grown efficiently and harvested more easily. This was a technique that had been used in China for thousands of years but Tull was the first to come up with the idea in Europe. He also revolutionised ploughing with the four-bladed plough
which made the destruction of weeds – perhaps the farmer’s greatest enemy – much easier. With improved food production, the Agricultural Revolution spawned the Industrial Revolution which saw the advent of mechanisation and factories leading to the modern world. These commercial and social revolutions changed the way people lived. There was resistance to the new agricultural methods particularly when they literally gathered steam in the 19th century. Agricultural workers rightly believed that the new machines and crop-growing methods would put them out of their jobs. Women were also affected by the changes. In previous centuries they had worked alongside men. However, the new machines were heavy and demanded strength to handle so farm working was increasingly seen as a male preserve.
The arrival of the factories drew men and women off the land and this process continued into modern times, with very few people now working in farming. Fletcher’s Farm (pictured) next to Allerton Golf Course is a reminder of living in the rustic past. A stone over the doorway bears the date 1740. It is named after the family who built nearby Obelisk House, now a ruin. The farmhouse is much older and would have once been very remote. At about the time it was built
the land was being enclosed – previously the feudal open-field system operated, with crops grown on separate strips of land. Largescale land reform was sanctioned by legislation which drove people off the land. Mechanisation required large enclosed fields to be practical and this system still operates today. • Learn more about the history of Liverpool at the new Museum of Liverpool opening 19 July 2011.

Our Dad say it helps us to ‘develop physically’, whatever that means!!! We just like to jump around, run, and kick balloons and all types of funny shaped footballs around, there are some hard ones and soft ones, fuzzy ones and even bobbly ones… It’s great coz now we get to go to our own ‘club’, play and don’t have to wait to be older. We now have as much fun as our big brothers and sisters. They can stick to their own clubs.

Health and Beauty Link ARE YOU EXERCISING TOO MUCH? Most people these days are worried about getting enough exercise but too much exercise may lead to overtraining which can make you susceptible to injury. If your workouts suddenly feel harder than usual, or you’re losing ground despite the fact that you’re working hard, you may be experiencing overtraining. The cause of overtraining is simple. You’re not resting enough and/or you’re doing the same exercise too much. The body needs time to recover. Also doing the same workout day after day can also lead to overtraining, boredom and possible injury.
Sufficient rest periods are the best way to cure overtraining. When strength training try not to work the same muscle group two days in a row. Allow at least one day of rest before working the same muscle group again. For cardio it will depend on your intensity and the activity you’re doing. To avoid overtraining avoid intense and difficult workouts every day of the week and include low-intensity workouts. For example, if you usually run and bike every day try to take a couple of days to go for a walk or do a light swim. These ‘recovery’ workouts will help you stay fresh and the cross-training will help you avoid injuries.

My 10 year old daughter has suffered with severe eczema since she was 2 years of age. I have tried everything from various creams from the doctor, chinese medicine and aromatharapy oils with no sucess. It was Ella, herself who asked for a food allergy test which promted me to investgate this route. I am so glad that we did as it has changed our lives as we found that Ella was allergic to gluten, wheat, egg yolks and milk. After changing her diet to gluten and lactose free foods, her energy levels increased, her moods balanced out and her skin is no longer itchy, red or sore. Daphne was very good with Ella and was able to relate to her on a personal level. The test was non intrusive and very child friendly. S. Hardman

www.liverpoollink.co.uk Let Davis Beyga Estates take care of your property
Ben Davis
DAVIS Beyga Estates is officially the fastest letting agent in the south...that’s according to the latest statistics from leading independent lettings company, Vizzi Homes. They found that Davis Beyga Estates gets properties on the market quicker than anyone else and rents them out quicker than any-
one else, in the L17, L18 and L19 areas of south Liverpool. The agent has an average letting time of just three weeks, from being commissioned to achieving let agreed in the £500 - £700 pcm price bracket. So just how do they achieve this? Well the company prides itself on keeping a comprehensive database of over 1,300 applicants looking for properties to rent in these areas. And so when tenants are on the move, Davis Beyga Estates can approach them directly before anyone else and match them to a suitable property. All good news for landlords and property owners who know better than anyone that an empty property loses money rapidly. It is Davis Beyga Estates’ primary aim to get your property let out quickly and efficiently with as few voids as possible. And the company keeps everything as simple as possible to take
the hassle out of property ownership. From marketing the property on your behalf to handling the whole process of the tenant moving in, Davis Beyga will take care of it all making sure to keep you informed throughout the whole procedure via emails and text messages, so you can relax and rest assured that your property is in safe hands. And want to know the best bit? There are no hidden costs. Davis Beyga Estates offers a simple and transparent fee structure and unlike many other agents, there is no excess on its rent guarantee insurance. There are two price structures, the first being let only for one month’s rent and the second being comprehensive property management, which costs from 50% of the first month’s rent followed by
just 10% thereafter. Both are done on a no tenant, no fee basis, so you really have nothing to lose. For more information contact the team at Davis Beyga Estates on 0845 834 0388, email info@dbestates.com or visit www.dbestates.com.

Make a house a home...
YOU’VE watched all the property shows on TV but how appealing is your home to potential buyers? If you are trying to sell your home you need to make sure that it appeals to as many people as possible to give yourself the greatest chance of finding the right buyer. First of all, you need to take an objective view of your home and try and see it how a complete stranger would. What we think is the height of good taste and sophistication, to other people might be a complete turn off. The key is to keep the decor neutral so that people can visualise how they would put their own stamp on it if they bought the property. Clear out the clutter! There’s nothing worse than trying to look
at a property and it’s full of mess and clutter. It makes it all the harder to imagine yourself living in it if all you can see is other people’s detritus! So have a good clear out and make sure that everything is put away out of sight and surfaces are clear of too much stuff. Accessorise with a few subtle pieces. You want your home to appear cosy and welcoming without being overbearing so subtlety is key here. At the same time, you don’t want it to seem too clinical so a few carefully selected ornaments, cushions, throws, rugs, lamps and pictures, can make sure that you’ve put your own personality into decorating your home but without detracting from how it appeals to other people.

Hazel Bacon’s Q&A
Q: I work full time. Will I qualify for legal aid for a divorce? A: The fact that you work full time does not necessarily mean you will not obtain legal aid. To qualify your gross income must be less than £2,657 per month (£31,884 per year). Monthly disposable income must then be less than £733 per month. If you live with a partner who is not the opponent in your case, your respective capital and incomes are both taken into account though the same limits apply.
Say you saw it in the LINK
Property, savings and shares can also be considered as income. You should contact your Solicitor for a full assessment. Q: I am separating from my partner. We live with our 2 children in a house we jointly own. He is refusing to move out. He’s insisting that we sell the house, but if we do that we won’t have enough to enable me to house the children. Is there anything I can do? A: If you have been threatened you may be able to ask the court to exclude your partner from the property with you both own. The court can also put the house in trust enabling you to remain with the children and your partner would have to leave. The property would not be sold until after the children were 18. The court can make this kind of trust under 2 different statues The Children Act (schedule 1) and the Trust of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act. You will need legal advice as this area of the law isn’t straightforward.

HIP recall prompts Liverpool conference Hundreds of patients with metal hip implants attended a conference yesterday arranged by leading law firm Gregory Abrams Davidson LLP. The conference which was the first of its kind was held at Liverpool’s BT Convention Centre with a panel of medical and legal experts providing free advice for worried clients who have been affected by a worldwide recall of two metal hip
implants. The recall has now sparked fears about other metal hip implants. The two implants recalled so far both manufactured by DePuy a division of Johnson and Johnson are the ASR XL Acetabular and the ASR hip resurfacing systems. Initially hailed as state-of-the-art technology, the implants have been failing after just a few years, when they were expected to last for 10 years or more. Studies have discovered that a major problem

www.liverpoollink.co.uk is due to the metal surfaces of the implant wearing away, releasing particles that are absorbed into the blood causing secondary health problems. The company is facing a potential multi-million pound payout to patients in the UK as more people come forward claiming damages for their pain and suffering, loss of earnings, and future medical care and other losses. Patients in some parts of England have spent months waiting in pain because of delayed operations or new restrictions on who qualifies for treatment.
A recent report from British Hip Society and British Orthopaedic Association advises: “All patients with these components should be identified and should be informed that they have a hip replacement device that has been withdrawn, and that they are now under the umbrella of close clinical follow up and surveillance. Some form of follow up should be performed at least annually and patients should be given contact information so that they can be reviewed quickly should they have worsening pain or deteriorat-
ing clinical function associated with the hip implant. Follow up should continue for the life of the implant, until more data is available.” Patients travelled from across the UK to attend the conference and listen to Professor Peter Kay, President of the British Orthopaedic Association and Consultant Hip and Knee surgeon from Wrightington Hospital. Professor Kay who is considered as the Countries expert on Hip replacement surgery took questions from patients and explained in detail the problems
that the failing ASR Hip replacement have caused. Professor Kay said “I was delighted to attend the HIP conference in Liverpool arranged by Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors. It is very important that patients receive the best surgical and legal advice and the conference provided an excellent opportunity for patients to ask individual questions. I look forward to working with Gregory Abrams Davidson on future conferences”. continued on page 27

www.liverpoollink.co.uk HIP recall prompts Liverpool conference continued from page 25 Paul Trevett from Kent travelled to the Liverpool Conference despite his defective hip and said “The conference was very informative and worth the journey from Kent to Liverpool. I now have a better understanding of the medical and legal side of this painful process.” Liverpool Solicitor Lisa Lunt a partner at Gregory Abrams Davidson is regarded as an expert in dealing with the legal issues surrounding these complex matters and has been instructed by hundreds of patients throughout the UK. Mrs. Lunt said “the conference has been a huge success. It was not just about us passing on medical and legal advice to our clients, it was also a great opportunity for them to meet each other and to talk about and share their experiences.” For those patients who are unsure of the name of their hip replacement system, Mrs. Lunt offers the following advice: “If anybody thinks they may have
had a DePuy metal hip implant after July 2003, they should seek legal advice immediately as they may be entitled to compensation for pain, suffering and financial loss sustained as a result of the DePuy implant.” Mr. Sherrington age 67 from Mossley Hill is one of many Liverpool patients affected by the metal hip. Mr. Sherrington says “I have been in constant pain since 2006 following my left total hip replacement. It has drastically affected my life. I cannot walk up the stairs properly and I struggle getting in and out of the bath. I was a keen sportsman but I can no longer cycle or swim. I cannot do the things I enjoy. My quality of life has been severely affected. I do not know what it is like to be pain free”. Anyone affected by the DePuy recall is advised to contact a specialist solicitor for advice.

artists, comedians and sports people and the People’s Republic gallery examining the essence of life in Liverpool and what it means to be a Liverpudlian. Visit www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk for more information. As a special treat why not let the kids stay up late for the spectacular lighting up of the Liver Building? As part of the city’s fantastic On the Waterfront weekend from July 22 - 24, the Liver Building will be lit up by a 3-D ‘Son et Lumiere’ spectacle using cutting edge images and sound to bring the building to life, as part of centenary celebrations of this most iconic building. Travel just a little way out of the city centre and check out delightful Sudley House, nestling in a leafy south Liverpool suburb.
The house was built in the early 19th century for a rich corn merchant and is thought to have the only surviving Victorian merchant art collection in Britain still hanging in its original location. There’s plenty to keep the children entertained with interactive activities to enjoy, a dressing up box, drawing and colouring and even has its own very own Victorian dolls’ house, a winner with kids every time. Enjoy some lunch, morning coffee or afternoon tea at Sudley’s warm and welcoming cafe, and if the weather allows, you can enjoy your refreshements al fresco in the beautiful courtyard and have a wander around the idyllic grounds.

www.liverpoollink.co.uk Dog of the Month Harry Harry is a lovely two-year-old lurcher who came to us here at Dogs Trust Merseyside as a stray. He is a gorgeous, waggytailed boy that loves nothing more than a good run and a cuddle. Harry is very friendly with everyone he meets, but could do with
some basic training to help him reach his full potential. He is happy to travel in the car and would suit a home where someone is around for most of the day as he just loves to be fussed over! Harry would be able to live with the right canine companion, but is best suited to a home that doesn’t have cats and with children over the age of 10 years. If you think that you can offer Harry the loving new home he deserves please contact Dogs Trust Merseyside on 0151 480 0660 or visit www.dogstrust.org.uk Visit us at Whiston Lane, Huyton, Merseyside.

KNOWSLEY SAFARI PARK Knowsley Safari Park on Merseyside which celebrates its fortieth anniversary this year, remains one of the North West’s most popular attractions. The park on the Earl of Derby’s estate gives visitors the chance to get ‘up close and personal’ with around 700 exotic animals from all over the globe. These include rhinos, camels, buffalo, bison, wildebeest, lions, tigers, monkeys, deer, antelope, wallabies and - of course Knowsley’s infamous baboons! The good news for drivers concerned about their vehicles is that they can choose to view these mischievous inhabitants of the monkey jungle from the safety of the car and coach-friendly route. Highlights of the Knowsley safari drive this year include three white rhino calves (weather permitting) - Troy, Rosie and Bugo and the park’s biggest-ever pride of lions. Other attractions at the park include the safari village with its miniature railway and a walkaround animal area where elephants, giraffes, meerkats and otters can be viewed at close quarters. A major feature in this area is the park’s revamped sealion facil-
ity, with a larger outdoor pool and underwater viewing facilities, which enable visitors to watch the sealions’ antics throughout the day, not just at show times. Meanwhile, Knowsley’s Bug House offers everything from snakes and lizards to spiders and cockroaches, creatures a world away from the goats, lambs, cattle and horses for the children to enjoy at Lake Farm. Knowsley is also home to Aerial Extreme - the North West’s largest adventure ropes course - and an amusement park with a wide selection of rides for the family. (Additional costs apply for the ropes course and rides). Safari Park General Manager, David Ross, commented: “Because of all our new animals and developments over the years there’s a huge amount to see and do at the park, which is why we’re one of the North West’s few genuine all-day attractions. “As a result, we offer excellent value for money which is why I am confident that we will continue to attract large numbers of visitors, old and new, during the course of our fortieth anniversary year.” Knowsley Safari Park first opened its gates to the public in
