As the UK grapples with who is in Tier 1,2 or 3 lockdown, and mass confusion reigns supreme, Elt's been soul searching with The Pixies classic "Where Is My Mind," which you can listen to here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49FB9hhoO6c). Word Play at The Table What will Jonno take out of his considerable thought microwave to snack on for the following words and phrases? Camaraderie In Sync Call My Bluff EngagementHQ Site/Project Launches of the Week Now, we LOVE a mapping tool on the UK Consult, and this week we are very much feeling the love for Tower Hamlets' Liveable Streets Whitechapel project launch in EngagementHQ which you can see here in full (https://talk.towerhamlets.gov.uk/lswhitechapel).

Jonno is very enthused about Wirral Council's approach to "The New Brighton Master Plan" whilst highlighting forthcoming projects they plan on launching. Check out their site here (https://haveyoursay.wirral.gov.uk/)! From our global Bang the Table colleagues across the pond, Jonno highlights City of Kansas City Missouri's really REALLY cool map, "The 5 Big Questions."

Stat of the Week Conspiracy Theory: Coronavirus was probably created in a laboratory..........believed by 30% OF PEOPLE! Meldrew Moments Elt is experiencing a whole new set of video conferencing challenges he didn't think were even possible. It's given him the major grumps!

Thousands of people have signed a petition hitting out at plans to BAN dogs from some areas of the Wirral. The Council is proposing stricter rules on where dog walkers can go to make places cleaner and safer . It could lead to people being fined for taking their pets to places like sports pitches and parts of the beaches Wirral Council say there will still be “over 20 miles of unrestricted beach” for letting dogs off the lead all year round, and outside of the warmer season, dogs would be able to go anywhere on the bathing beaches. A consultation on the new so called Public Space Protection order is underway - until the middle of July. Mick spoke to Councillor Mathew Patrick from Wirral Council - who’s put forward the proposal and also heard from local dog owners who are angry at the plans.

Leader of Wirral Council, Cllr Phil Davies, joined Mick Coyle after the council released images of what Birkenhead could look like with a billion pound regeneration project. Cllr Davies told Mick that the project could create 3,000 jobs and would be a game changer for the Wirral. Follow Mick Coyle here: @MrMickCoyle

Wirral Council Leader Phil Davies has set out his vision of the future of the borough in an interview with Mick Coyle. He’s set out his long term goal of the Wirral hosting the Ryder Cup, fully utilising its Mersey waterfront, and securing billions in investment in infrastructure as part of a new Growth Company project. He also criticised the Conservative government’s “appalling response” to the New Ferry disaster, and claims they have a “moral responsibility” to help rebuild the town. And he gave details of a new attraction to arrive at Seacombe.

Leader of Wirral Council, Phil Davies, joined Mick Coyle on Liverpool Live to give his thoughts on a letter her received from the Northern Powerhouse Minister, Jake Berry, in regards to New Ferry funding. In the letter, Wirral Council were told 'for an incident of this size and impact we would expect these costs to be covered using existing local resources'. In response, Cllr Davies told Mick how he believes that "if you're in the south of England you're ok, if you're in the north you've got no chance"

The song I have found this week was the first record on my label back in 1980…BIG DEE RECORDS….this was BD 001….It’s called “You’re No Good To Me If You Can’t Boogie” and was sung by my good friend Pauline Daniels who went on to big things …it was on a 45 vinyl and I used a drum box alongside the actual drums….to my knowledge I was the first to do this?....happy days….watch the false break doesn’t catch you out…….it caught a few of the local DJs out at the time. 2.What have I been saying for the past two years…”There’s too much time devoted to news on the tele”….therefore most of it is padded out to fill in the 24 hours…..two half hour bulletins would do….NOW this is being discussed,,,,saying that there is not enough news to report…well well there’s a surprise. At the moment all we are getting is the NHS problems and all the illnesses 50% of us are likely to get….when you finish watching the news you feel like hanging yourself. We recently had 20 minutes on a girl who got some disease after having tattoos removed….NATIONAL NEWS?...I don’t think so. 3.Leon Britten has just died and he was allegedly involved in some sort of sex scandal…so what they are having to do is bury him in an unmarked grave in case the Neanderthals desecrate the grave…a sad situation but just shows the mentality that is wandering around…it’s like the beheading of Margaret Thatcher’s statue which we discussed last week…they are DEAD…what does these sort of activities achieve?...it’s pathetic. 4.The Mersey Tunnel is considering putting up the fee from £!.70 to £1.80….this is beyond me…you have a tunnel which has been there since the thirties and they constantly announce that they are still paying for it…..there are about 8 booths which each take £1.70 a minute right through the day…..that is a LOT of money…I would like to see a breakdown as to where it all goes….there’s not a lot of staff and don’t tell me it’s for maintenance…the tunnel through the mountain at Conway is FREE….how do they work that one out?....and Wirral Council are employing a new Chief Executive and he will be on £170 grand a year…so there will have to be job losses to pay him….good stuff eh?...that really makes sense….is someone having a laugh? 5.There have been a lot of complaints about “mumbling” actors on TV…which is what I’ve been saying for ages….”24” was the worst…one minute Keifer Sitherland is mumbling…next he’s shouting his head off…HE CAN’T ACT!! simple as that … and there is a programme called “Broadchurch” starring David Tennant….I can’t understand ONE word he says….apart from mumbling he has a Scottish accent … I may as well watch the test card….what happened to ACTING?....come back Sir Larry all is forgiven!!!!!

.Sad news about Richard Attenborough....He was in one of the funniest sketches I've ever seen...it was about 25 years ago in a programme called "Alas it's Smith and Jones"....with Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones.....he said he had just completed filming Ghandi and required the music track...to which Mel said he had the man to do it...the best...Griff then turns up on a pushbike with a banjo and sings a ridiculous song in a 48 track studio....Sir Richard played it dead straight concluding with "GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!"....I always admire anyone who sends themselves up.....great guy. Kate Bush has recently made a comeback after 30 odd years...and stormed it in a live concert...rave reviews....never quite got her...bit too far out for my taste...but good luck to her....however I did like the orchestration on Wuthering Heights….and unfortunately the X Factor is returning….the least talent being behind the judges desk The Nanny State strikes again!!....some bright spark who is obviously trying to create a job for himself has suggested that the over 50's should be advised (via a leaflet) on how to handle forthcoming old age...re organising pensions and how to keep fit etc.....OVER 50's!!!!!....then another bright spark suggested this was too young...maybe OVER 65s....I looked at these blokes and thought I'm better looking...more intelligent....and more talented than both of them put together...they know where they can stick their advice. When a nine year old girl gets taught how to use an automatic weapon (with drastic consequences) one has to seriously question the mentality of Americans….they are so quick to condemn others….what a hypocritical nation they are……and the “proud” parents filming it……I despair. The song I have sent you this week should be close to your heart as it's about your home......The Wirral Song.....this came to me when I was standing on Thurstaston Hill in the 80s and thought there's the Mersey...there's the Dee...and there's the Irish Sea....gotta be a song there so I came up with this one....I took it to the Wirral Council who ordered 4000 copies to promote their leisure services...I wrote a a Bside (as it was vinyl) about the Wirral Way....the song actually made the local Top Ten as compiled by one of the local major stores

This has been the wettest winter on record;we are lucky here as we don't get the extremes but there is nowhere for the water to go so everywhere is muddy.

Problem was The Dee is so full with all the rain it had a tidy old flow and paddling upriver wasn't easy ....

Mike Tyson is visiting Liverpool to inspire young boxers...he was due to come to Wirral but there has been a big moan from a couple of councillors (who obviously want to get their name out there)...saying he should be banned from coming here because of his past....I wouldn't wanna be the one to tell him.....The Hillsborough disaster is filling the news ... the police look like they are going to come out badly from this...anyone else messing with evidence would go straight to jail...it'll be interesting how this pans out. 3.Wirral Council have announced they have to save 17 million so jobs will have to go....my suggestion would be to ask some of the high paid boys what they actually DO...not what they are "responsible " for...in other words what difference would it make if they weren't there?....that's one way of saving a lot of money...but they will all look after each other....as usual. 4.There is blanket coverage on the news of the topless photos of Kate M.... IS THERE NO REAL NEWS OUT THERE?...for heaven sake WHO CARES?!!!....they are having a great FREE luxury holiday...with everyone bowing low....I think they are making mountains out of molehills.....so to speak. .I decided to have the stop tap in my house sorted (it's stuck)......phone a plumber?...simple?...NO CHANCE....it nearly turned into an international incident....modern workmanship....give me a break.
