HAPPY NEW YEAR TO OUR CHINESE READERS!

THE Year of the Rabbit has started and on the Chinese calendar, the Lunar Year is now 4709.  If you do not know already, the Lunar New Year dates from 2600BC, when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the Chinese Zodiac.  Since then the the first day of the Chinese New Year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February.  This year it fell on Thursday, 3 February 2011 if you use the Western calendar.  Celebrations happened in Liverpool on Sunday, 6 February 2011 and also in Southport on 5 February 2011.

We headed in to get some pictures and video of the action in Liverpool and in Southport.  So please enjoy the pictures... For now...

Gales Cause Chaos!

STRONG gales cause chaos across Merseyside and the rest of the region with many buildings being damaged. In Southport the large ASDA and shopping centre hoarding out side on Derby Road Closed, Southport after following reports of dangerous metal advertising boards. It was also reported to us of many other problems. In Liverpool City Centre Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and Liverpool City Council to us about the traffic management measures they had to put in place, after a piece of metal on the Plaza building had became loose. This lead to Old Hall Street, Liverpool city centre, being closed to the public. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service also had been unable to raise a platform to deal with the loose metal that day due to the high winds. In other areas wind fell trees and damaged other buildings.
