June 18th 2010 - Happy Birthday Macca

Today is Sir Paul McCartney's 68th birthday. This is the house at 20, Forthlin Avenue, Allerton, where Paul McCartney lived for several years and which is now owned by the National Trust, since 1995. A friend of the family once lived there for a short time, looking after the property for the National Trust. Being a skint student he decided to check the attic for any valuable items that Paul might have left behind. Needless to say he found nothing, but he left behind his own mark by putting his foot through Paul's bedroom ceiling. A quick repair job was required before the National Trust inspected the property the following week. Allegedly, of course! No blue plaque yet - apparently you have to be dead for 20 years before English Heritage considers putting one up and Macca's still going strong!
