SHAMBOLIC scenes at Moorfields train station in Liverpool city centre on Saturday evening.

At least 10 angry punters missed their trains when Merseyrail staff closed its one ticket window for a “staff changeover” and directed nonplussed customers to a single ticket machine.

When one exasperated traveller pleaded that he had just two minutes to catch his train, the man behind the window just shrugged his shoulders and said: “Sorry mate, I'm not due on for another 10 mins.”

A customer services award to that man.

THE guys at Panoramic Restaurant are well-placed to see the big picture.

That’s why they are hosting a charity cook-off on April 7 to raise money for Alder Hey’s Imagine appeal.

They were also approached by the charity to donate some Easter eggs for its patients.

Panoramic’s chef director Chris Marshall, above, happily agreed, so inevitably the task fell to his wife, Joanne, to pick them up while doing the weekly shopping.

With them piled up in her trolley, a fellow shopper – who presumably had travelled to Warrington from Dickensian London – said: “My word, how many children have you got?”.

A short explanation later, and the shopper said: “Here’s a tenner, can you donate another load for me?”

What an eggstremely nice lady.

IT has long been known that Sir Terry Leahy of Tescoshire is a big noise in the city.

But last week he proved it when the microphone failed at a lecture to Liverpool John Moores University’s Liverpool Business School.

He said: “I’m just going to use my voice”, before adding, for the avoidance of any doubt, “it’s a loud voice.”
