.The first post to my blog may seem to have religious based themes, however, it is more about preconceptions than any religious message. In fact I am almost tempted to post another message and pre-date this one.
However I digress from the story...
Walking up Mt Pleasant I noticed they were demolishing an old building on Benson Street, Oraham Ltd, Climax Works (something to do with timber). After that it appears to have been turned into a gym, Tony's Gym.

The demolition of the building was two thirds complete and I was being be nosy I wanted to see what was behind the building, alas they hadn't knocked down the back wall yet. Walking on the opposite side of the road, all that separated me from the flying debris was a wire fence with holes big enough to post my head through. Further down I noticed a heavy set bloke, he stood facing the de-construction site in the usual builders attire, hard hat, florescent jacket, steel toe capped boots and skin crisped by regular toasting from the sun.
He handed a leaflet to a couple ahead of me and I assumed he was drumming up trade "if you like what you see here we can knock down any structure you desire". As I was handed my very own leaflet my hand automatically took one from him and walked on, I reached the end of the road, a safe enough distance to look clam and collected and not over eager! I found I had been given a small 4 page leaflet on God, there went all my preconceived notions of this builder.
This helps set the tone for this blog, you may have an idea what Liverpool and the people are like and a simple act of being passed a leaflet can turn things on its head!
Musical accompaniment on this adventure: Blitzen Trapper - Furr
Update: The full leaflet has been request. With a bit of photo merging it is here.
