The BBC Radio Meresyside Toy Appeal is an annual event aimed at rasing toys for children on christmas day who would otherwise not have antything to open.
The toys themslefs are collected by the local Lions cub, (local to whichever part of Liverpool we are in), so the toys are staying within the area where we collect them.
We often find that the people of Meresyside are very kind and keep giving. So we keep collecting for them. This is where we have been Saturday, November 30

On May the 6th 2010 Britain went to the polls to have there say in what the make-up of the new parliament would be. After 13 years of a Labour government there was a real feeling that the end of the road could be on the cards for Gordon Brown and his party.
It wasn't helped with bad performances at the new live TV debates and also Brown calling a voter a, “bigoted woman”.
However no one party won the election and the UK was left with a Tory/Lib collision.
For the weeks leading up to the election The BBC Bus was out in Dorset, Sunderland, Liverpool, Swindon and Luton.
We were asking people, “What would you do if you where Prime Minister?” And just like the outcome of the elections themselves, what we got where a lot of differing views. Click here to see some of the videos that we shot on the bus.
