Arden House,Salvation Army Hostel in Bootle.I never used it but recall one or two of my mates who did. The gangs of kids were not to be messed with apparantly,give 'em a few bob and your motor would be looked after all night.Refuse and you paid the penalty as someone I heard about did.He told the kids to bugger off and next morning he found that every bag of sugar on the bottom row of his trailer had been slashed and the load was bulging over the sides as the bags spread and settled.
