    I love the people from Kirkby. I used to be a door knocking canvasser around there years ago and I used to do carpet cleaning around there and I used to drive Fareway buses in Kirkby for years. The people are boss. Hard as nails, the salt of the earth, with hearts of gold. The very best people you can get. ❤❤❤

    I'm from Northwood Kirkby, and I grew up on Westhead Avenue. Left when I was 17 and joined the army. I now live in Northern Ireland, where I've been for the last 30 years. But I still love going back to Kirkby because that's where my heart is and the people are fantastic.

    Thanks for this mate! I havent been there for years. I distinctly remember visiting my nan in Kennelwood Avenue and on Tuesdays we would go to the then vibrant 'Townie' to buy fresh produce and mooch for bargains. I treasure those memories! The Peacock a landmark then! Those Towers were suspect even then just like many of the flats in that area were no-go places for kids.If I remember correctly, these 'estates' on the outskirts of Liverpool, were the attempt of Liverpool council to remove people from the city centre -Scotland road/ The Bullring etc to relieve congestion and provide new affordable housing to Scousers. Such as in many other areas -Croxteth, Huyton etc which resulted in many people feeling isolated as transportation was few and far between. Of course, one excuse was the factories on the outskirts which employed many workers. Today however, these factories no longer exist. Kirkby sports centre, although it created much enthusiasm at the time was a huge dissappointment especially the ski slope! Get's you to thinking who is organizing the city and on what intents. Thank you once again for your content! Brought tears to my eyes! Walk on!

    We used to pick shrooms in the mountains . Always good to go early as that was the best time . Then as Billy said we used to boil them up . The best way was in a pair of tights . Clean better of course .we boil them up for maybe over an hour . But we didn’t have sugar and it was disgusting . But if you want to see werewolves and the floor turn to water then go for it . 😊👍🏻

School Sumner Holliday's were the best.Gone all day rooming the streets robbing orchards getting a chased from security watchmen great days. Like you said bill to much politically Correct rules.Kids should be allowed be kids instead of being prisoners in their bedrooms.The world has changed for the worst.Drugs did most of the destroying in all our areas.

    ..I worked in part of kirby years ago it use to only take 40 mins to travel there by van from manchester because we use to get on junction next to manny airport, yeps I liked the area and the people ..yeh the elephant statue is mega ..3:46 more choice of shops needed, irs very spacious ..1 or 2 things to add to the space would attract people there ..yeps nice people who have chatted and its very peacefull n mellowed ..I,ve no idea about what it's like at the night ..its mega weird the sheild in the tree I've never seen anything like that ..5:52 bring back the butcher's and indoor markets I say ..8:20 I agree with billy there's a great choice of charity shops ..the precinct looks dark,dull and closed-in because of the way the structure has been built ..billy your right there alot of dosh has been spent on elephant on cannoo + ski slopes the wrong way around, the dosh should be spent on things that help the society which is a motto that the government/council should be sticking too ..if I was like primeminister there wouldn't be no such thing as poverty ..the word poverty would be abolished out the dictionary bigtime ..the government/council love the misery and they've pocketed loads from rundown areas,homelessness it's sickening !! ..13:20 the chair with wings is crazy man's it is great art all the same ..18:19 the peacock pub looking at it you can tell its been a class pub back in its day ..no pub should ever close because there great + they hold great history n also us blokes need a break from the Mr's now n again hahaha 😉 ..its not nice for the older generation see-ing pubs closing down ..arma got the guy who robbed vhs etc from your aunt billy ..yeh splended upload billy it brought alot of memories back to you + it will to the people who watch the upload ..👌🤟✌😎

    Grew up in Kirkby. Early years taken to the Townie! by mum! Later going to All Mankind and various shops to get clothes and records!. . Vibrant, Clean, Proud place , with good people! Went back several years ago to the Town Centre for a couple of hours. I’m glad I moved away years ago!!!!!. Sad!

    Haven't been o Kirkby for many years, how empty it looks. Sad seeing the Townie desolate. It's like most parts of Liverpool the winds of change turned up and all the places we once knew just wiped out. The odd familiar faces but mostly strangers you find it hard to make a connection with . Love your videos Billy, but they also leave me with an heavy heart thinking the people & places we knew that will never return. All them happy times back in the day just a good memory now. 😥

    I thought I was first in the comments lol cannot wait to see Joe with you , Switching on the Christmas lights . . So much to say from the last few videos with mark and turbo but you're right with their manners they are not going to last a few days in that hotel. . You tried your best bully but you will find that 1 character who does want that help who you're viewers will love . . I totally get you I'm pretty similar to you Billy that's the sort of thing I would do find somebody who has that character about them but really wants the help and you cannot help everybody you can only give love and guidance but that 1 special person you will give that little bit extra too . . I know what you was thinking very disappointing with turbot he had the mobile phone some credit he could have even got a pound to put in the phone box to call you to let you know he was in a hotel . . I will say finally and I didn't want to Turbo Anthony it's pretty smart he knew exactly what he was doing and mark new all the time what he was up to , It was all about the handouts bro especially the green paper there was nothing going to be returned just false words promises and more BS . . It's water under the bridge you're a strong guy you have a beautiful family dust your hands and move on , If Turbo does come forward in the future shows a massive improvement that he has changed then fair play but until then > you've wiped your feet Billy , you did your part and showed a lot of love more than he deserved . . Well for mark as they say a pig Loves nothing more than rolling around in its own poop . . Just sat down to watch the video eating my tea . . Stay Safe , Much Love to you and family , give Joe a high 5 from me 🤜💥🤛💯💖🎄🎁☃️❄️

    Noce trip down memory lane Billy. I did silly sidebins, but only a couple of times. I found them a lot kinder than LSD, which has dark corners that can can cause you horrors. I was OK but my mate wasn't. The last 5 trips were all bummers for him, so I had the nurse him through them and then said enough ! Didn't do any more after that. Maybe I was lucky, but my mate wasn't, he was in a nightmare. I've never gone onto harder stuff, always kept to weed which I still adore :) Cheers M8 :)

    Brings back some memories myself this does Billy. Used to go around Kirkby a lot. You could go Sunderland if not already. You also have Redcar, Hartlepool, Sunderland and Blyth all on the North East costal towns. Any worth a visit. Sunderland is deprived but nice people, I was told by my mate that Hendon is the worst part.

    Reminds me of Stevenage Town Centre - stuck in the 70s.. why can’t they just spend money and make our towns and cities worth visiting. Seems like such a friendly town. Do you do any towns further south? Peterborough etc
    Love your videos - my dad put me on to them and I am hooked! Thank you x

    The first time I did mushy tea I was on moorland in West Yorkshire chasing sheep at night they were all glowing in different colours but each sheep stayed their own colour, looked like they had lightbulbs inside them, finally got home to scorpions dripping out from my roof 😁 good times.

    Walked past turbo and mark in the doorway near Piccadilly gardens
    Looks like there not got hotel accommodation turbo was spread out leaning against door looking relaxed mark was in his wheelchair looking agitated talking to 2 other people great videos thank you for great content keep that camera rolling.

      Mark and turbo won’t be able to stick to any sort of hotel regime, it's sad because It looks like their both addicted to chaos, but that's wrong, they need treatment...
      Taking those lads off the street and placing them in a hotel with normal rules will never work, it's the silence and the fact they will have to listen to their own inner voice which will be the main thing they'll be fighting against.....silence is the main thing that will drive them back to the streets, because it's the silence that kills people with undiagnosed mental illnesses in the end.....everything else is a band-aid, I hope they get the help they really need...

      I wish them both well for the future and someday find the strength to ask for help and succeed and take charge of their lives and find happiness.

    Love your channel lad, so real and people really need to see what goes on behind the curtain in our society. So many people turn a blind eye to it all yet most families in modern UK will know someone who is suffering from addiction problems whether they want to admit or not. Keep up the awesome work mate, genuinely believe your channel is making a difference 👍👊👍🫡

    :-) We used to put Vimto in our Mushy Tea haha! The good ol' days of the Thunderdome on a Friday night followed by The Hacienda and Blackburn Raves on a Saturday. Unfortunately the next 30+ years followed a similar story as your own. Buvidal has been a blessing and I'm hopeful that side of my story is over. Keep up the good work. GG from Manchester.
