Well, we all know that the Mersey changed the world, but what about some of the people born or brought up along its banks? At the moment we're trying to compile a list of famous or influential people from the banks of the river - including the Wirral, Stockport, Warrington, Urmston, Flixton, the Heatons, and so on, as well as Liverpool. Can anyone help? We're trying to stick to living people, and any nominations would be most welcome. Leave us a comment if you can think of someone we've missed.......
