Welcome to our very first (and last) interactive post where we invite you to share your thoughts on our global impact and try to win a prize.
Despite the globetrotting attempts by Wirral Council officials to sell the dubious delights of Wirral to the rest of the world its profile remains resolutely low key. How many of us , when on jaunts abroad , have had people ask : ” Where are you from?” and when you reply ” Wirral” , they tend to have a quizzical look on their face as if you’ve told them you’ve just come from Narnia via a wardrobe.
As we’ve commented before never have so many air miles been flown to achieve so very little. So we’re just grateful for the World Wide Web which has enabled us to spread the word about Wirral Council from the comfort of a wingback chair.
As you can see from above we have a very impressive reach . However we would like your observations on the top ten nations that have tuned their aerial to Leaky Towers mast ( forgive us but we still don’t know how this interweb thingy works) .
We’ll kick off by providing a Top Ten chart rundown and offering some suggestions for further enquiry.
We note that after the UK and US ( no doubt courtesy of Reno) we have at No. 3 in the charts , Malta ! – is this an internet flag of convenience thing? Whatever it is it’s a big shout out to our Maltese contingent – whoever you are.
Spain is next at No. 4 – obviously it’s peak Wirral Leaks during the holiday season.
Likewise at No. 5 we have Portugal – holiday home heaven for bent executives or what?.
At No. 6 and No.7 we have France and Germany respectively shaking their heads and counting the days ’til we leave the EU if Wirral Council is anything to go by.
No. 8 is Australia – that’ll be due to the contributions of the Aussie ,obviously and perhaps our occasional vulgarity.
No. 9 is Ireland – need we say more? You can accuse us of cultural stereotyping but they seem to like a drink or three and have spawned some of the greatest wits that have graced our pages . Oh and they’re a Republic
The Netherlands sneaks in at No.10 – apparently we have quite a following in Rotterdam.
However to win a prize you need to reference the map above and name as many countries as you can who haven’t yet been able to access Wirral Leaks. We know ! – somebody needs to alert our roving United Nations ambassadors The Foulkes’ !
The winner will be announced at a special awards ceremony hosted by Chief Executive of the Wirral Chamber of Commerce , Ms Paula Basnett . The promise of a new frock and pair of sparkly shoes was all it took to take to the podium.
