"How many toilets?"

Life Home is currently being beseiged by hundreds of people in flourescent tabards and hundreds of barriers, with a small brigade of portaloos creating a wall nearby. At six am tomorrow, the front entrance to our car park is being blocked off and we'll only be able to leave via the back wall. A Liverpool Half Marathon is back in Sefton Park and the latest organisers, the London Marathon Company have started early. I can look out of the window now and see sponsorship for margarine and sports companies, massive striped tents and big temporary roads on the field made from sheet metal. In the morning we'll have the usual entertainment of watching people parking their cars, and people who've obviously never been to Liverpool before trying to work out which way the roads go around.
