Trading Gossip: Stand-up for Claire House

IT IS hats off to Geo Harris, of Sainsbury’s, in Old Hall Street, Liverpool, who just keeps pushing the boundaries in her quest to raise cash for children’s hospice Claire House.

Geo, below, has been raising money for over a year now.

Her exploits have included dressing up in silly costumes and abseiling down tall buildings.

However, her greatest challenge comes tomorrow night at the Marriott Hotel where she will perform a five-minute stand- up comedy routine at the 3rd Annual Comedy Show, in aid of Claire House.

Her act will comprise “observational humour”, so anyone who regularly uses Sainsbury’s, in Old Hall Street, may find themselves part of the act tomorrow.

PROPERTY group Peel has big ambitions – Liverpool and Wirral Waters and the superport.

Perhaps no surprise, then, to see the firm trying to generate cash from wherever it can.

This week, a photographic colleague of ours from the Liverpool Echo was down at Peel’s Princes Dock with a model doing a fashion shoot.

Our man was happily snapping away when a security guard appeared and insisted they stop.

“You can’t just turn up and do this,” he said. “There is a charge and it’s £5,000 an hour.”
