My name: John Bythell

Born in Lancashire I'm not a native of Liverpool, but through my working life I needed to travel throughout Liverpool and later all over the North West of England, up as far as the Lake District and down into Cheshire, never it seemed in good weather!

As a young boy I first attended Bootle Technical College and later as a young man I went to Liverpool College of Technology where I was able to pass my exams and get an H.N.C. in Mechanical Engineering. Like many others I served an apprenticeship at the same time, in my case with English Electric.

Since becoming interested in the 'Net' during the beginning of 1998, I have been on the look-out for a project where I can use the HTML language, and to bring together other interests of mine. I hope you enjoy the results.

The site name is derived from the initials of myself, my wife and my daughter.

The idea of this site, is to bring photographs to people who have some interest in Liverpool, England, UK.

My only claim to fame rests on a charity abseil down the Beacon when I was a member of the Peninsular Outdoor Club, but that was over twenty years ago..... The Beacon is featured in the 2nd series of photos.

At work in the 1980s I used both DBase2 and Supercalc2 to automate the calculation of prices for heating systems. At the time the machine I was using was for then a fast 8088 running I think at 8MHz with a 10MB hard drive. This was enormous compared to my home machine, the very successful 32k BBC B computer on which I was able to practice BBC BASIC.
I still have the same BBC B but the PC games of today are far bigger and faster, although I take a trip down memory lane when I run a PC/BBC emulator. Snapper and Repton were and still are my favourites.
