The noisy green bus was a
lifeline when ice and snow
made travelling difficult
and even visiting nearby
relatives could be an
ordeal. It is 1955 and the 61 heads
south along Leyfield Road,
CHRISTMAS PASTby Stephen Guy, West Derby Society
passing Blackmoor
Park School on the
left (pictured).
Earlier the gritters
had been out - not
the vehicles we
have today but open
wagons carrying
men busily shovel-
ling rock salt on to
the roads.
The 61 was a fre-
quent service
launched about
1939, linking
Seaforth with south
Liverpool, but a
growing number of
people had cars.
Many of our neigh-
bours in Lisleholme
Crescent had
motors which were
regulation black.
One young man
had a red sports car
which earned him
the name Killer.
Another defied con-
vention with his
bottle-green saloon.
In those days
Christmas came
quickly. There was
no massive build-up
in the shops from
the autumn
although one family
in Deysbrook Lane
put their tinselled
tree in the window
in October.
Post war austerity
put a brake on fes-
tivities. Money had
to go a long way
and luxury was hav-
ing an orange in
your Christmas
stocking.
Coal fires roared
in sooty grates caus-
ing dreadful smogs
on days when no
breeze shifted its
ghostly presence.
Visits to Santa at
Lewis’s or T J
Hughes’s were
highlights and low-
tech toys such as
Hoop-La and
Snakes and Ladders
the rewards.
On Christmas
Day Dad and I
walked to St Mary’s
in the Village while
Mum did the turkey.
Gran and Granddad
came for tea –
grandfather had a
separate portion of
Christmas pudding
without the brandy
as he was teetotal.
We would get the
61 to visit Auntie
May and Uncle Eric
in Taggart Avenue
on Boxing Day –
the bus stopped
conveniently out-
side their door.
Uncle Eric did
hilarious impres-
sions which put us
in stitches.
We would get the
bus home clutching
our presents, avoid-
ing the open rear
entrance where the
chill air wafted into
the over-heated
interior.
Our British-made
Ekco television was
rented from Stuart
& Dorfman’s on
Mount Pleasant.
The tiny screen was
set in a highly-pol-
ished wooden cabi-
net.
Christmas meant
variety shows offer-
ing such popular
acts as harmony
singers The
Stargazers, relaxed
Liverpool crooner
Michael Holliday,
the rowdy Billy
Cotton Bandshow
and a talented
young Australian
called Rolf Harris.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!There are still a few weeks to go...but, as this
is our festive issue, there’s nothing like get-
ting your greeting in first.So, from all of us here at The LINK, we hope you
and yours have the Happiest Christmas ever.
We hope also that, while you are having a fantas-
tic time, you will spare a thought for those who will
find Christmas is not such a happy time...families
who have lost a loved one in the past year, people
who, for whatever reason, find themselves on their
own and those people who may have health or
money worries.
For some, Christmas can be the loneliest and most
painful time of the year, especially if it marks a first
without someone special.
If you know of someone, who may not be looking for-
ward to Christmas for one reason or another, then whyDawn Moiranot do something special on
their behalf: Invite them in for a
drink, buy someone special a
little gift, or, simply, make a
friendly phone call to see if
they are O.K. Isn’t that what the
Christmas spirit is all about?
December to meet our earlier holiday deadline.
A Big thank you to all our
customers
With our verybest wishes Moira and Dawn
We hope you
and your family,
readers and adver-
tisers alike, have
your best
Christmas yet.
We’ll be back
in January to help
you see in the
New Year.

in the hope that
one of our read-
ers may be able
to assist her to
find a mis-
placed DVD
which her
d a u g h t e r ’ s
friend intended
to deliver to her. Jackie explains:
“My daughter
Rachel is currently
travelling around
Australia and
passed a DVD of
her learning to dive
to a friend from
Liverpool to post
through our door
upon her return. We
never received the
DVD but my
daughter’s friend
posted it on our
estate in Croxteth
LOST DVD - CAN OURCROXTETH PARKREADERS HELP?
Park about 8 weeks ago and
has obviously put it through
someone else’s door by mis-
take. Obviously we would love
to have this as we haven’t seen
our daughter for quite a long
time and miss her terribly.
The box has her name on it
(Rachel Black) and the name
of the diving school. If you can
help we would obviously col-
lect the DVD”.
If you can help at all then
please phone Jackie or Dave

STRANGE TALES
“Bo-Bo, be good
when you go out. Do
what Mary says,” she
chirped, fastening
the expensive leather
lead to his emerald-
encrusted collar.
A silver medallion
proclaimed Bo-Bo St
Claire1932, indicat-
ing the year of his
birth.
Mary took Bo-Bo
and walked out on to
the veranda over-
looking Cap du
Dramont. She was
spending the summer
at her aunt’s on the
Riviera before taking
up a new job in
Liverpool.
Mary was looking
forward to returning
home after spending
two years at finishing
school.
Bo-Bo yapped.
The dog annoyed her
but taking him out
gave an excuse to
escape the rambling,
claustrophobic man-
sion.
The view was
stunning – rugged
cliffs topped with
ferns and bracken,
backed by azure
seas, inviting explo-
ration.
Mary let Bo-Bo
off his lead as they
walked downhill.
Hawk moths sipped
nectar from wild-
flowers, large butter-
flies fluttered every-
where. No breeze
disturbed the sultry
air.
They reached the
empty beach where
the receding tide had
left deep pools. Mary
stared into the
depths, looking for
secrets in the waving
fronds of seaweed.
Mary decided to
sunbathe. She
secured Bo-Bo to a
rock and blissfully
lay back, feeling the
hot sun caressing her
face, arms and legs.
She was soothed
into a deep, reassur-
ing sleep. Soon huge
galleons sailed in her
dream, handsome
sailors waving to her
under huge billowing
flags.
Only the distant
yapping of a dog
spoilt the idyllic
scene. Then she felt
cool water tickling
the soles of her feet.
Mary awoke with
a start – the tide was
coming in! She sat
up, glanced around
and saw Bo-Bo’s
lead still secured to

the almost sub-
merged rock.
She stood up and
hardly dared to look.
The poor creature
was floating lifeless
in the crystal-clear
water.
Mary’s thoughts
raced. What would
she tell her aunt? It
took just a minute to
decide what to do.
She hauled out the
lifeless dog, put its
body and two large
rocks in her shawl
and dumped the bun-
dle into the deep
pool.
As the ripples
cleared, she gasped.
A ghostly man was
staring at her from
the depths of the
pool, his shocked,
questioning eyes
almost burning into
her brain.
Mary turned and
fled to the chateau to
tell how Bo-Bo had
run off and she had
searched in vain.
The local gen-
darme mustered vil-
lagers who fruitlessly
scoured the coast.
Mrs St Claire was
distraught. Mary
returned home, start-
ing work in Water
Street, as arranged.
She entered the busy
office nervously.
Her new boss was
standing with his
back to her, just head
and shoulders visible
though a glass screen.
They had never
met before but as he
turned Mary instant-
ly recognised the
clipped moustache
and staring eyes – it
was the man in the
pool.
He was staring at
her intently and
Mary realised, just
before she fainted,
that – HE KNEW.

from the charity, these are;
• Children and young people from 4 -17
years of age, who have a visual impair-
ment and possibly other disabilities benefit
from specialist education and care provid-
ed at St Vincent’s School. Other children
in this age range are supported in main-
stream schools and through independent
mobility training and shared placements
• Those who lose their sight as adults benefit
from a comprehensive range of services pro-
vided and the facilities available in our
Visual Rehabilitation Centre
• Older adults, with or without a vision
impairment, benefit from access to our
care home which includes a nursing unit
and provision for those who need pallia-
tive care.
St Vincent’s was visited by OFSTED in
2012 and found to be “outstanding”.
Diocesan inspectors also found us to be ‘out-
standing.’
For the children and adults and their fam-
ilies who benefit, the Catholic Blind
Institute has helped them to an enormous
extent, giving their future a reality due,
purely and simply, to the dedication of the
staff and carers who give so much, far and
above their call of duty, in helping their
need. In order to secure the future, we need
to positively seek funds in support of our
charitable aims.
The Charity is continually evolving its
structures and services to ensure that they
will better serve our beneficiaries and help
restrain costs. Every individual deserves a
chance. No-one really knows how far these
people can progress but because of the
work of the Catholic Blind Institute, there
is a degree of hope and independence. Your
financial help will be most important in
allowing us to continue the work we do
well into the future.
We hope that you can see the value of our
work and would really appreciate your
help. You may have heard of our local lot-
tery, the 50:50 Club whereby members
contribute a small amount each month and
can win substantial prizes as well as help-
ing the work of the charity. We are very
keen to involve the local community in our
fundraising activities. If you think you can
help in any way, please don’t hesitate to
contact us at our offices on the St Vincent’s
School site.

Tobi, Jasper and
Holly are three
Yorkshire Terriers
all aged 11 but not
related to each
other.They came in to the
care of Dogs Trust
Merseyside when,
sadly, their owner
became too unwell to
care for them. They
are a very happy little
bunch who are look-
ing for a new home
together. They do
have some minor
medical complaints
which can be covered
by the Dogs Trust fos-
ter scheme, yet
despite the odd ail-
ment they are still
active for their age
and enjoy their walks
and playing with toys.
They will be happiest
in a home where there
are no children under
the age 10.
These three friends
ideally should be
rehomed together as
they really do love
each other. They are
still full of beans for
their age and would
make a happy addi-
tion to a home.

Is Ovarian can-cer a dirtyword? If notthen why do webury our headsin the sandwhenever it ism e n t i o n e d .Cancer is on therise and Ovar-ian cancer isone of the hard-est forms ofcancer to detectand to treat.
Often it is mis-
diagnosed as a
stomach bug or
IBS and by the
time that it is cor-
rectly diagnosed it
can be too late.
This is why it is
also known as the
silent killer.
My life was
turned upside down
when my sister was
diagnosed in
September 2009
with Ovarian cancer
and by September
2011 I had said my
last goodbye.
The way that
she had lived her
whole life went
against everything
that we read.
What literature
tells us can some-
times be mislead-
ing and this is

A serious loss in
form has led to
series of poor
results and has
seen the newly
p r o m o t e d
S t o n e y c r o f t
plummet down
the league and it
has now become a
real cause for
concern for man-
ager John Leary.
This match billed
as a six pointer saw
bottom club Cheshire
Lines come to
Maiden Lane without
a win under their belt
so far in the league.
They must have
scarcely believed
their luck when
instead of encounter-
ing a fired up home
side, anxious to
break their own
sequence of defeats,
they met a timid out
of sorts disjointed
team showing an
apparent inability to
retain any effective
form of possession.
The visitors’ confi-
dence was boosted
when within the first
few minutes of the
game they were gift-
ed a goal when a
stray shot was
deflected into the
Stoneycroft net by a
home defender.
It started badly for
the Croft and got
steadily worse. Their
fragile defence
leaked more goals
and the lack lustre
performance left the
visitors euphoric as
they cruised to their
first win. The only
bright spot for the
Croft was another
two goals from Mike
Kearney.
There is no doubt
that all the
Stoneycroft players
will have to take a
long hard look at
themselves, regroup
and find the fighting
spirit of last season
and come back with
a bang in next
Saturday’s fixture
away at Ford Motors.
Manager John
Leary was philo-
sophical when he
said “I know we have
the ability in the side
to turn things round.
For some inexplica-
ble reason you go
through periods like
this were a number
of players suffer loss
of form and it hasn’t
been helped by the
amount of changes
we have been forced
to make. But the only
way we can come
through this is by
coming together,
working hard and
showing commit-
ment to a common
cause. I hope to see a
positive response in
the next game and a
from there a steady
move up the table.
LOSS OFFORM LEADSTO WORRYINGTIMES AT THE
CROFTBy Mick Titherington
Stoneycroft 2 Cheshire Lines 4
South Liverpool FC’s first big game of
the season occurred at the end of
October when South travelled to sec-
ond-placed Mallaby.
As both teams were unbeaten it was always
likely to be a close-run thing and so it proved.
South fell 2-0 down after 15 minutes but recov-
ered by half-time with goals from Neil Best
and Cameron Dalton and the 2-2 draw was a
better result for South, bearing in mind their
superior goal difference.
A 6-1 win at Prescot Cables, with Alex
Woodcock grabbing a hat-trick, and a 2-1
home win against Manor Athletic, with
Woodcock getting both goals, have seen South
establish a lead at the top as we near the
halfway point. A spectacular 6-0 win at
Liverpool County FA (LCFA) Premier League
Premier Division Roma, with both Cameron
Dalton and Alex Woodcock each netting twice,
in the LCFA Challenge Cup has seen the team
drawn against Old Xaverians, our near neigh-
bours and LCFA Premier Division leaders, in
the quarter finals. South will have home advan-
tage and Old Xavs will visit Jericho Lane in
February.
The reserves have made progress in both cup
competitions that they have entered. A 3-2 win
at Warrington and District League side Orford,
with goals from Francis Evans, Mitchell
McNally and Ross Kennedy, has seen the team
make the quarter finals where they will play
either league rivals Gateacre or Rainhill Town
in December. A 3-0 win over lowly Upton AA
Reserves in the league cup, with two goals
from Paul Wilson and one from Pat Kelly, has
earned a quarter-final tie at home to Neston
Nomads in December.
The youth team have also put themselves
into a good position in the West Cheshire
League Youth Division courtesy of a superb 5-
2 win at nearest rivals Bootle. Four goals from
leading scorer Sharif Yusuf and one from mid-
fielder Anthony Marlow turned the tables on
Bootle who were leading 2-1 at half-time.
Unfortunately, a very disappointing 3-0 defeat
at home to Formby Juniors saw the team elim-
inated from the LCFA Youth Cup.

A good run of
form has seen
the Alder FC
Veterans team
push up the
league and they
currently lie
fifth, five points
behind the lead-
ers.
The month has
seen an impressive
3-2 victory against
Aintree Villa in the
cup, followed by a
great 3-1 league
victory against
Remyca. Robbie
Backhouse was on
the score sheet, and
Mark Carney
scored two, his
second a twenty
five yard thunder-
bolt that gave the
keeper no chance.
ALDER FC - VETSTAKE CENTRE STAGE
The only disap-
pointment in the
month was a 1-0
defeat to
Shakespeare after
conceding an
unfortunate own
goal.
The first team
has had mixed for-
tunes with a 3-1
win in the cup
against Rylands -
John Boardman
netting - but were
unlucky to lose 1-0
against league
leaders Kingsley
United. Despite
goals from Paul
O’Hare and Mike
Hutton they bowed
out of the Junior
County Cup to St
Helens opposition
Sidac 3-2.
The second team
were also eliminat-
ed from The
County Cup with
regular marksman
Anthony Wong
scoring twice
against Farnworth
Griffin - the game
ended 2-2 and
went to penalties.
Unfortunately one
miss proved vital
as the penalties
ended 5-4 in the
o p p o s i t i o n ’ s
favour. However,
much needed
league points were
gained in a 4-4
draw with Old
Xavs and a 1-1
draw with Holy
Cross, with Scott
Madina amongst
the goals.
Finally the third
team gained a 1-1
draw against
Leyfield, and fol-
lowed this up with
a fine 4-2 victory
against Wood
Street - Dean Wesh
amongst the goals.
They now sit mid-
table and will be
looking to push up
the league.
One final com-
ment this month is
to thank everyone
who supported the
recent charity
night at the club,
and to give our
best wishes to
Bonnie for his
forthcoming oper-
ation.
