topiary ringo

Remember the fate that befell Ringo at South Parkway train station?
Alas poor Ringo, he sat there at his drums for a while after losing his head to a dastardly pruner.
Apparently people took the opportunity to have their pictures taken with their heads popping over the top of Ringo's severed topiary body.

As regular users of the station may have noticed, Ringo has now been removed completely from the display, making the remainder the Fab Three.
As a child and a young man Ringo was a martyr to his health, and if I remember correctly he had to miss the start of a tour of Australia as he was in hospital having his tonsils out.
Anyway, I asked Merseytravel today what was happening with Mr Starkey and apparently he WILL be rejoining the band - just as soon as he has grown a new head.
So don't hold your breath.
