Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating *

For many, being told as children that if you have nothing nice to say, then keep your mouth firmly shut, is a maxim to live by even into middle age or even to swear by as infirmity and shortness of breath lend a hand to day to day existence. The only trouble with that aphorism in the modern age, people tend to either believe you are being either provocative in your silence and therefore just fancy bashing you round the head with their sarcasm and ill judged retorts or, and possibly more damning, they might take the biting down on the tongue for mild acceptance, that they have done nothing wrong in life and you accept them for what they are, even if they have ventured into the beige and downbeat.
