Am I the only person having problems accessing the Liverpool 1970 thread?
I just can't get it to open.
I know that it's a big one(400+) but there have been/are bigger in the non-music area.

yea, I just got into it okay, though it's so big, it does take time - in fact, it puts me off going into the thread because of the delay ... ah, modern world, no patience! Perhaps we need to split it and have part 1 and part 2?

Derek, that did occur to me ages ago and I started a Part 2 thread, but there were no takers!

If you click on the number of posts in the thread (the number with the asterisk by it) it will load the thread in 50-post chunks which makes it easier for speed-challenged computers to cope with long threads.
