SOME time ago, Trading Gossip reported that staff in the Liverpool centre office of outsourcing firm Unisys had been enjoying some fruity Friday afternoon entertainment.

Its office overlooks the upmarket Radisson Hotel, in Old Hall Street, and it seems not all guests remembered to draw the curtains before be-ginning what are no doubt important business meetings.

Now, it appears, the phen-omenon is spreading. Bank- ers at the Barclays Wealth office, at Rumford’s shiny new 20 Chapel Street develop- ment are also getting a bit of an eyeful. It seems people in an adjoining apartment building are also forgetting to close the blinds. Is it any wonder the banking system is in such dire straits with these kinds of distractions?

IF YOU happen to be travelling by train to London on October 29, be prepared to genuflect.

Around 100 of Liverpool’s top people will be heading off to the capital to show a leg or two to the Lord Mayor of the City of London in the hope of attracting some inward investment. Luminaries on the jolly include city council leader Warren Bradley, Liverpool Vision chairman Mike Park-er and Chamber of Com-merce boss Jack Stopforth, above.

The trip is being organis-ed by Professional Liver-pool, and Virgin Trains is kindly ferrying the party to London for nowt and is throwing in free grub.

Is it wise for such an important bunch to all be on the same train? Should some dreadful mishap occur, how would Liverpool survive without such an array of talent?

Most importantly, who would Convocation FC play in left midfield, should something happen to Jack Stopforth?

IF WE can dig out a copy of “Eats, Shoots and Leaves” – the punctuation bible by Lynne Truss – we’ll be sure to send it to trendy Liverpool clothes store Microzine.

An email boasting about their latest fashion offerings talks about “men’s” and “ladie’s” clothing. Final warning guys – incorrect use of apostrophes will not be tolerated.
