"Kind?" My arse! She's talking loads of malice for poor Ringo because he said something they didnt like. He said also himself that he never meant it like people took it. And see for yourself how these folks are beyond bitter. Also that he's too American? OMG It seems that lady is offended at that. Hypocritical if your selling tour tickets and hanging Ringo pictures on the wall. Im disgusted at her behavior. Hmmmm maybe Ringo has a point....

I have Allan Williams (first manager of the Beatles) saying much the same think about Ringo. Anyone interested in hearing it?

And it was definitely in a rough part of town, the Dingle. Margaret was in true scouse form: very real personality, finely honed cynicism, and wit/charm. Quite enjoyed meeting her and many other fine Liverpuddlians on our short visit, Found them to be a breath of fresh air after also meeting several Londoners. Stephe Frye has commented that my beloved home town, Seattle, has a lot in common with Liverpool,and I'd have to agree.

I was with my family visting Liverpool in April 2005, and our outstanding tour guide Jackie stopped by Margaret's house to see if she was home. It was middle of the week, in the afternoon, very quiet. Margaret had just returned from the shops, very graciously invited the four of us (plus Jackie) in for a chat. My daughters were aged 7 and 9 at the time, and she offered them each a bag of crisps and made us feel right at home. An unforgettable visit that my 14 and 16 y.o. girls fond memories.

Wasn't Rings from the crappy part of town?

Back then it was maybe.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Margaret at her home in 2007. She writes to me at Christmas. David Bedford took me to meet her.

@soundation I call BS.

@Jacaranda9 Perhaps your right. Although, she definitely over-reacted, just as I did. Liverpool is just a place and Ringo didn't grow up in the nice part of Liverpool so it's no wonder he doesn't miss it.

I went on a tour and i was told this also.. ive visited the home where he was born and its a run down dump and most of the houses are boarded up. his father had an affair with a women who lived over the road.. no wonder he doesnt want to go there.
