Day 1971 - Mersey, Mersey Me!
Greetings, Bloggy Mersey Ferryers!
If you read yesterday's 'British Invasion' blog, you might remember the song 'Ferry Cross the Mersey'.
I believe yesterday I said 'Across', but Wikipedia says it's just CROSS. That's funny, because the LINK says 'across'!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferry_across_the_mersey
There were also two British bands named 'The Merseys' and 'The Merseybeats'.
So - inquiring minds want to know...What was the deal about the Mersey?
Crossing the Mersey on the Mersey ferry is a way to get to LIVERPOOL, and we all recognize Liverpool, home of the Beatles!
So...Now you know the REST of the story! Have a great Saturday.

Regarding yesterday's blog, I now know that sister-in-law, Iris, is from the United Kingdom having been raised in Belfast, Ireland. I knew she was a British citizen when she became a U S Citizen, but didn't know those fine distinctions. Nope didn't know about the Mersey ferry to Liverpool either!
Have a good weekend everyone!
