Dear Sky News/Five News,
Nice to see you covering the capital of culture gubbins on the 1st of January. I'm a little bit confused by your choice of images to illustrate your report though. Market stalls? Not exciting market stalls, just ones selling fruit and veg, with some blokes standing behind them wearing anoraks, the sort you'd see anywhere. Doesn't really suggest, well, anything, really. I didn't expect you to find FACT, it's down a side street like about 245 other galleries, the Bluecoat is still being refurbished, and maybe you didn't get the train in what with the current problems and so didn't notice St George's Hall, despite it being fucking enormous and surrounded by *ahem* museums and art galleries. What about a pic of some councillors bitching at each other? (yeah, alright, been done). Superlambbanana too hard on your hangovers?
Not to say that market stalls don't have cultural value, course not. But you only had the boring ones you get anywhere. You could at least have filmed the stall with all the flags, I like that one being a flag geek (how often do you see the combo of the rainbow flag, the flag of India and the flag of Liverpool FC?). Plus there's usually a bloke shouting about Jesus near there. Or the one with the local football stuff? Or the one with the flashing mobile phone accessories? What are you saying? "Liverpool - they have grapefruit".
I look forward to your next report on the latest exhibition at Tate Modern, illustrated by the Oxford Street branch of Superdrug.
Ta,
Wendy
