[edit] Walking across the Dee

Somebody claims that:

It is also Possible to walk over the River Dee to Wales when the tide is fully low.

Really? I'm not sure I believe this!

I've removed the claim: if somebody can provide a citation, it can be put back. --RFBailey 12:36, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

It is most certainly not possible to cross the River Dee at West Kirby on foot at any time. I have no reference, but I believe people may well have drowned attempting to do so. It might even be worthwhile noting in the article that attempting to cross to Wales by foot/swimming is extremely dangerous. 194.138.39.53 14:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC) Tom Green, West Kirby resident


[edit] Weka?

As a west kirby youth I can safely say I have NEVER heard anyone call it Weka.

It does seem to have gone out of fashion. It was a scouse usage that I heard sometimes -- especially in Liverpool and Birkenhead -- in the 1980's, but there is no reason to suppose it has continued. At the time it was not a "youth" expression, but a scouse one. Francis Davey 13:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

As a west kirby youth of this decade, I can assure you it is referred to thusly.
