[edit] Dickie Lewis

The Epstein statue in Liverpool is usually referred to locally as Dickie Lewis, not Swinging Dick -- as a quick Google will rapidly affirm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.42.171.18 (talk • contribs) 09:16, 31 August 2006

Well its not an easy Google search to do as you have to exclude all the sites that just syndicate Wikipedia content. However I'm inclined to agree.
  • 'Swinging Dick' - really just one or two - e.g. [1] and [2].
  • 'Dickie Lewis' - perhaps about 30 that are relevant, including this one which describes a pub named after the nickname and also shows the statue in question.
Mind you there also seems to be some disagreement about the official title for the statue. Some sites says its 'Liverpool Resurgent', another gives 'The Spirit of Youth'. Thanks for the local input. -- Solipsist 08:39, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and for anyone interested, here's a better picture of the statue. -- Solipsist 08:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
