Thank you for your support Nathan.
Yes, I quite agree with you that it would appear that to most people
England is London and the way that Liverpool has been portrayed by the media

not helped at all.
However, hopefully we have now turned that corner and Liverpool will again
take
her place as one of Englands premier cities, and a must visit.

Best Regards
Eric
