Hello Everyone Welcome to the August issue of the LINK. Where’s the time going?! Well, as I write this the weather forecast is looking good so hopefully we are in for some nice weather for the kids’ school hols. For many of us, this time of year means only one thing…..holidays! So, we would like to wish you all a happy holiday if you are going away. We have a fantastic free prize draw in this month’s LINK for tickets for days out at Jungle Parc in Croxteth Country Park. Jungle Parc is an amazing high ropes course with over 60 different activities. So read the article and enter now. You’ve got to be in it to win it! August is a bit on the quiet side for many businesses so it’s a great opportunity again (I asked you last August too) for me to ask you, the advertisers and readers, to help me out. I want to know what you want to see in the LINK. We get the most fantastic
and positive comments about The LINK and I am always looking for ways to improve it for you and I really do listen to our readers and advertisers. What you would like to see in The LINK? PLEASE DO BEAR IN MIND, THOUGH, THAT THE LINK IS A COMMUNITY ADVERTISING PAPER AND NOT A NEWSPAPER! THE LINK RELIES 100% ON ADVERTISING REVENUE. So we don’t carry news as such and certainly not bad news. We do love nice little local stories and articles of interest though. The LINK goes through the doors of thousands of homes in the South Liverpool and West Derby areas and of course into supermarkets, businesses, libraries, businesses too numerous to mention, etc etc, and as you will appreciate distribution through doors and in supermarkets is very expensive. So edit space is quite limited. I WOULD LOVE YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE.
What our advertisers are saying about us “I have been using the South Liverpool Link for advertising for the past year and a half. I have found it to be the most effective and cost effective print marketing in the area. Particularly useful as it is delivered through my target market’s letterboxes as well as being available at local businesses. I track success by the number of mentions I get and new customers advertising brings in and The Link is the only print marketing I now do. Prices are good and the service from Moira and the team at the Link is excellent. Would recommend”.

Galkoff’s and the Secret Life of Pembroke Place wins National Lottery funding LIVERPOOL landmark, Galkoff’s shop frontage, is to be preserved and protected with a £291,300 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), thanks to National Lottery players. P. Galkoff Kosher Butcher Shop is an iconic building fronted with highly decorative green tiles. Originally a house, the Galkoff business opened around 1908 and the amazing tiles were added in 1933. It is located just a few doors away from the last remaining area of Liverpool court housing (back-to-back houses around courtyards a prevalent type of working class home in the mid-19th century).
Thanks to the support of HLF, work by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) and the Museum of Liverpool can now go ahead to preserve this iconic legacy of Liverpool history. The project aims to conserve the historic tiles, to uncover more remnants of the court housing and people’s lives there and to research the Pembroke Place area from the 18th century onwards. The culmination of this will be the recreation of the Galkoff’s frontage, returned WR LWV RULJLQDO À QHU\ DW WKH Museum of Liverpool as part of an exhibition which will reveal the Secret Life of Pembroke Place, due to open in October 2018.

This month we speak to Ian Kay, Solicitor and Partner, who covers all of the FAQs we often receive from our Personal Injury Clients Which of your offices deal with personal injury and what areas of personal injury do you cover? Whilst our personal injury department is based in our Garston and Liverpool City Centre offices, we are able to take personal injury instructions from any of our other locations. Over the last four decades we have served the communities of South Liverpool from our offices in Penny Lane, Allerton Road and Garston. We specialise in all areas of personal injury. These include, but are not limited to, accidents at work, road traffic accidents, slips and trips, accidents abroad and industrial disease. We also have a specialised clinical negligence team based in our Penny Lane office. Our case handlers are members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and we were the first member of Accident Line in Liverpool, the only personal injury service endorsed by the Law Society. We offer a free initial consultation and ‘No Win, No Fee’ arrangements in suitable cases. Once I have instructed you what are the next steps? We will commence investigations and set about obtaining damages for pain and suffering, as well as any financial losses, whether incurred to date or likely to be incurred in the future.
their case succeeding.
What is split liability?
How long does the process usually take?
This is when the third party does not accept full responsibility for the accident but is prepared to pay a percentage of the value of the injury and losses.
Anybody who has suffered a personal injury knows that the effects can be devastating. Beyond the injury there can be psychological consequences, impacts on work and family life, and long-term expenses. Our expert personal injury team specialise in helping clients get their lives back on track by gaining the maximum amount of compensation quickly and with the minimum of fus–s. Whilst the length of the process is very much determined by the circumstances of each case, personal injury claims are usually resolved within no longer than 12-18 months. We do all we can to ensure the process is much quicker than that. Much depends on whether liability is disputed and the prognosis for our client’s recovery, but cases such as straightforward road traffic accidents usually take no longer than 6 months to conclude. Will I need to be medically examined? Whilst this is not compulsory, it is normally in the best interests of our clients to be medically examined.
We will direct the claim to the third party and their insurance company who must then confirm whether or not liability is disputed.
There has been a trend in recent years for insurance companies to attempt to settle cases without the evidence of a medical expert. This is seen by some as an attempt from insurers to settle claims for less than they are actually worth.
If liability is not disputed, negotiations will take place with a view to concluding settlement of our client’s claim. In the event that liability is disputed, the third party must disclose all relevant documents, which then allows us to further advise our clients as to the prospects of
Our case handlers are resistant to such tactics and will usually always advise clients to be medically examined. This allows us to properly advise our clients as to the true value of their claim, before entering into negotiations with the insurance company.
There are always two sides to any accident and sometimes it can be one party’s word against the other. In those circumstances it can be difficult to predict what a Court would decide, as often this depends on how well a witness performs on the day. Even with the most straightforward of circumstances, there is always what is known as a ‘Litigation Risk’ i.e. a risk that the case could lose. Our expert case handlers will take all of this into account and carefully assess all of the evidence when advising our clients in respect of any ‘split liability’ offers. What is ‘No Win, No Fee’ and will I have to pay anything? This is the agreement between us and our clients which allows us to pursue cases, even where the prospects of success are less than certain. Despite the best efforts of our case handlers, for various reasons not all cases can succeed. In the event a claim is unsuccessful, the ‘No Win, No Fee’ agreement confirms that we will waive our fees, conditional upon the terms of the agreement. In the vast majority of our cases we are successful in obtaining damages for our clients. In such circumstances, our client will only pay a contribution towards our costs from the damages obtained. Whilst costs vary from case to case, depending upon the amount of work done, the deduction in this regard will never exceed 25% of damages obtained.
Advice for contacting IanTelephone 0151 494 0777 or email IKay@gadllp.co.uk Gregory Abrams Davidson http://www.gadllp.co.uk Is my case likely to go to Court? As already mentioned, it can be very difficult to predict the outcome of a case that proceeds to Court. Our case handlers will therefore always strive to bring matters to a swift and amicable conclusion, avoiding Court if at all possible. If, however, we consider that settlement is not in the best interests of our clients, we are not at all afraid to vigorously pursue cases as far as it takes, in order to secure the very best outcome. In such circumstances, consideration will be given to issuing Court proceedings. This can ultimately mean that a Court will have to decide a case, but this is relatively unusual. Our client’s wishes will of course always be foremost, and we find that in most cases Court can be avoided.

August’s dog of the month – Gigga GIGGA is a lovely ÀYH \HDU ROG *UH\KRXQG who’s racing career is far behind him now. All Gigga wants these days is a comfy duvet and a decent diet. This poor lad had to have 19 teeth removed recently but with the quality food he’ll get from now on, the other 23 are safe! He’s a very easy going, laid back boy who
enjoys playtimes and will happily play by himself. Gigga gets along with other large dogs, but due to his racing background, care should always be taken around smaller dogs and other furry animals when out for walkies. Dogs Trust can’t guarantee that Gigga is fully house trained as he has likely spent his life in racing kennels, but as an adult it shouldn’t take
him long to learn. He can live with sensible, calm children aged 12 and over. If you think Gigga could be your four-legged friend visit Dogs Trust Merseyside on Whiston Lane, Huyton, Liverpool, L36 6HP.

Add a refreshing touch to your next meal with this lemon sorbet recipe THIS easy-to-make, refreshing lemon sorbet (called sorbetto al limone in Italian) comes from our chefs in Italy at their cookery school in Sorrento. It’s the perfect way to use summery citrus as part of your next meal. What you’ll need: Q 200g sugar. Q Three unwaxed, juicy lemons. Q 500ml water. Q 50ml grappa or vodka. Because of the addition of grappa or vodka, this is an adults-only recipe, which makes it great for book clubs, girls’ nights
in, or any summer meal with friends. This recipe serves four people, so make sure you have enough if you plan to prepare it for more. To begin, combine the water, sugar, and the zest of one of the lemons in a saucepan. Bring this to a medium heat, constantly stirring until you have cooked it down into a syrup. Then, let it cool and discard the zest by straining the mixture so you are left with a smooth syrup. While it cools, juice the three lemons. Add the juice of the lemons and
the grappa or vodka to the FRROHG V\UXS 7R ÀQLVK put the entire mixture in an ice cream machine for about 15 to 20 minutes or until it reaches the consistency you desire. If you do not have an ice cream maker, fear not. You can also freeze the mixture to a partially frozen state, then put it
in a food processor or blender to break up the chunks. Repeat until you have the right texture. Once this has been completed, put the sorbet in the freezer for 10 minutes and serve cold, with mint or lemon zest as garnish. This sorbet is best made-to-order and fresh.
You can, however, prepare it early and leave the mixture in the freezer. Then, before you plan to serve it, run it through a blender and re-freeze for 10 minutes.

LIFE ‘n’ STYLE – with JADE AINSWORTH www.jadeainsworth gossip.co.uk
An emotional rollercoaster with my baby Daisy May HI GUYS and welcome to my August edition of Life ’n’ Style. The past couple of weeks have been like an emotional roller coaster for me. If you know me you will know how much my dog Daisy May means to me. She’s not just a dog, she’s my baby. If you watched me on First Dates you will have seen how I talk about her being my spooning partner – we do everything together. Well, about two weeks ago I was out for my mum’s birthday and Daisy May was staying at my nan’s when my nan called and said Daisy wasn’t herself but I just presumed it was because she was missing me as she gets like that. A couple of days later I took her to the
To advertise see page FOUR groomers and the lady who looks after her called me and said her gums were pale and to take her to the vet straight away. They ran some bloods and it turns out she’s anaemic and, with dogs, it means there is an underlying issue that is quite serious and detrimental to the dog’s health so I have been heartbroken. I have been off work taking her for multiple tests and we’re still no further on. Not knowing if it’s something she’s had long term or something that’s affected her suddenly is eating me up inside. I still don’t know the reason behind it and just hope when I write my piece next month my little Daisy is still with me :( Right on to a bit of fashion now… August is WKH À QDO PRQWK RI KROLGD\ season and I absolutely love this costume by www. poshpoms.co.uk priced at £55 at the moment. It’s perfect for any pool parties or holidays. If you are looking for
any one off pieces… fur sliders, sun glasses then these have got some lovely little pieces. I was invited to the Liverpool Tennis a couple of weeks ago and wore this White Belted Body Blazer Dress from www. Missguided.co.uk. Priced at £40, it’s an HDV\ WR ZHDU GUHVV WR À W any occasion. Maximum style with minimum effort I would say LOL! 'HÀ QLWHO\ RQH , ZLOO EH pulling out again and again. One of my newest places to shop online is www. PrettyLittleThings.com. For my mum’s birthday we all went to a Ladies Lunch event at The Stables in Allerton and I put together this little combo. It’s the Black Tie Front Slinky Crop Top for £15 and a pair of Black Tier Frill Wide Leg Trousers for £30. The thing about getting little pieces like these is that you can mix and match them with other RXWÀ WV The pants could also be worn during the day with

sliders and a t-shirt and the top would look great with a skirt or 3/4 pants. My last little piece that I have chosen this month is this Pink Pom Pom dress from a boutique on Instagram called @ lulaloveattire.
It’s part of a premium range that she is about to launch and I have got some lovely dresses from her so go and check her out. That’s it from me but I will be back next month for September’s issue. Love Jade x

Spamalot heads to Chester FUNNIER than the black death! Spamalot is back in a brand-new production from Selladoor Productions and Mercury Theatre Colchester. Spamalot transfers from its critically acclaimed run in Colchester and will open on 11 September 2017 at Blackpool Opera House before embarking on a UK tour for 2017/2018, including the new Storyhouse Chester from 30 October – 4 November and Manchester Palace Theatre from 6 – 11 November. Lovingly ripped off from
the hugely successful 1975 À OP 0RQW\ 3\WKRQ DQG WKH Holy Grail, this spammier than ever production is a riotous comedy full of PLVÀ W NQLJKWV NLOOHU UDEELWV dancing nuns and ferocious Frenchmen. Join King Arthur as he travels with his hapless Knights of the Round Table on a divine mission to locate the illusive Holy Grail – with uproarious consequences. Spamalot was the winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best New Musical, while it enjoyed a victorious West End run. This hilarious
show is written by Python legend Eric Idle, who has been entertaining the British public for over 50 years. The funnyman also wrote the score alongside John DuPrez, famous for his work on Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life amongst a host of other big-name scores. With comic tunes including Brave Sir Robin, We’re Knights of the Round Table and perennial favourite Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Spamalot audiences are sure to be dancing in the aisles.
