STEVEN Bailey from the Beatle Shop is always delighted to receive items for the annual Beatle auction at Lipa.
This year he says he nearly had a cracker of an item - a Cavern Club card with John Lennon's hair on it.
The "well-used" card was signed by Paul McCartney, which would give it a value of around £150. When asked about the attached small packet of hair, the lady who brought the item in said: "Oh, that's John's, I cut it off him in the Cavern."
That being the case, says Steven, you could add another nought, making the value £1,500.
Steven hopes the lady will put the card in for auction next year.
* WHAT better way to celebrate her recent success in Shirley Valentine than with a glass of wine.
Pauline Daniels had a celebratory do at Greek restaurant Yamas in Borough Road, Birkenhead.
The actress and comedienne helped raise £7,000 on three sell-out nights. The proceeds will go to help fund a disabled lift at the town's Little Theatre in Grange Road West where she performed Willy Russell's one-woman show.
Mike McCartney, who will become Wirral's Cultural Ambassador on October 1, was there in an official capacity.
