BEATLES BONES AND SMASHING STONES

Every so often, we decide to send email to people in the hope of getting a response. Generally, we just get ignored - the Chart Company never responded, for example, when he asked for their opinion on the story about Louis Walsh having a large number of CDs in the boot of his car, for example.

But it's always worth a try, so we've sent Flo Clucas an email to try and get to the bottom of the Liverpool City Council's plans to demolish Ringo's house. Here's what we've asked her:

I'm just trying to get some background on your claim that the building is not of historical significance.

Firstly, if the building is of no historical significance, then why does it draw busloads of tourists despite not being a scheduled monument or regularised tourist attraction? Why are they visiting a building that is not significant?

Secondly, did Liverpool City Council believe the Cavern Club to not be of historical significance when it bulldozed the place in the 70s?

Thirdly, will the City Council be making any profits from the development of the site?

We'll let you know if we get a response.
